+Bigwaves Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Are these completly sold out ? Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yes and no. Reservations are full and there is a wait list. People have until the 6th to convert their reservation to an order, or let me know to hold their coins. Right now 92% of reservations have converted. There is a wait list for about 40 coins. I will work my way through the wait list by date as coins become available. Quote Link to comment
+Puma Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 how can we know if we converted our reservation to an order? I don't remember if I have done that. Quote Link to comment

Same here, I am confused as usual I think he means that you paid for it. That is how you convert from reservation to order. I think.... Quote Link to comment
+Puma Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I think he means that you paid for it. That is how you convert from reservation to order. I think.... You're right, I just took a look on my spreadsheet and found it there marked as paid. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Ah yes - sorry. Convert means to convert a reservation to an order. I picked up the coins from FedEx tonight and I'm working my way through the coins right now. Its just too cool to see a sea of Bluebonnets scattered across the floor!

ParentsofSAM Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I got my paypal notice that it was shipping! I can't wait!!!! Me too! It won't be long now. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Since I know some people get anxious about shipping here's the process: - Your order must clear before I can ship (checks, etc.). - Domestic orders placed before 1/26 will ship by 1/30. - Domestic orders placed after 1/26 will ship by 2/6 - International orders will ship around 2/6 - Trades will ship around 2/6 - Reservations that have not been converted to orders will be released 2/6. - Extensions can be made, but I gotta know what's going on.

+crake Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 The following people should contact me within 1 week to keep their reservation. If you no longer wish for your coins, also please let me know.

+robert Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I got my coins today - very nice! Where do I get the activation code? It was included, my coin was wrapped in a white card with the activation code. I picked up the envelope and thought "Did I order three?" (figured I had only ordered 2) and when I opened it I was surprised at how large the coin is! Very nice, crake, glad I ordered one of these. Quote Link to comment

+D@nim@l Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) The activation is on the white cardboard that was stapled over the coins. I would say that these were the best packaged coins I have ever received. The coins are very, very nice too. Chris did a good job with these. Edit to add: GO STEELERS Edited January 31, 2006 by D@nim@l Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) If you ordered 1 or 2 coins, the code is on the inner wrapper. If you ordered 3 or more, the code is on a white card inside of the bubble mailer. It may stick when you dump the coins out, so take a peak before you toss! BTW, I found a coin with no corresponding number on my activation sheet which means I accidently mailed the sticker - whoops! If you are the lucky person who got an activation code that doesn't match your coin, let me know and I'll get you the right code. Mailing update: All domestic paypal orders have shipped. International, trades, and orders placed by check are scheduled to go out next week. Edited January 31, 2006 by crake Quote Link to comment
+cainrcc Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Great looking coin love it THANKS !!! Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 WOW! Got these today, they are super and may well double as geopaperweights. It's surprising how much bigger a 2" coin feels than a 1.75" coin. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yup - some people think 2" is too big though. At 2.5oz they sure are heavy! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yup - some people think 2" is too big though. At 2.5oz they sure are heavy! I'm one of those people. I love the coins so don't misunderstand, but there's nothing that's in this design that wouldn't look just as nice if not nicer on a 1.75" coin. So I do hope you'll consider going a little smaller on some of your other designs Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Got mine today. These are some of the best coins I have yet. I think 2" is perfect. Thanks crake. Quote Link to comment
gridlox Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Whoo Hoo!! Got mine today also!! REALLY NICE!! Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Whew - looks like the 1 and 2-coin packages are making it ok. I can't throw the USPS very far, so I don't really trust them Regarding coin size. Tracking Time will be 2" but there's a lot of detail that really needs the size. Other designs are going to be either 1.75" or 2" - mainly due to cost. When you go to 2" costs all go up, material, shipping, shipping again, etc. Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 OK - I'm nervous again. USPS doesn't show any of the 1 coin or 4+ coin packages as being delivered. If you got a 1-coin or 4+ coin package, please let me know.... Quote Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Got mine today (1 coin order) and got it activated. Great job! VERY nice-looking coin. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yipee! I'm like a nervous parent. Of course NONE of this could happen without you guys! This is such an awesome hobby. Speaking of which, you know you're into geocaching when you pack your bags for a business trip and make sure to remember your GPSr Quote Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I gotta e-mail you later since one of the coins I got has (what I think) is a wrong activation code. The code is only 5 digits and I've only ever seen 6 digit activation codes. I don't have the info here at work, so I'll send off an e-mail when I get home. Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Activation codes came straight from the spreadsheet. If you have any questions about it, please email me, and I'll check the codes. It is possible Word cut something off in the merge. Quote Link to comment
+Fattuhr Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Got mine today. Love them, they look wonderful. I will be looking forward to your other coins. Quote Link to comment
