Smokey311 Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I am definitely going to buy one of these since it is the state that I was born in. Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 Sorry for jumping the gun tdecell. I was looking for another coin and came across the Mississippi coins. Quote

+The Blind Acorn Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Odd shaped coins... Sigh... Love to put coins in Air-Tites, but the odd shaped ones don't fit. Quote
+joefrog Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Very cool! Kinda like the new Alabama coin I'm designing! Quote
+tdecell Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Hey, if we could get the Alabama coin the same size, and the western boundary of the AL coin will mate with the eastern boundary of the MS coin, and then maybe the TN coin.........hmmm..... Edited January 12, 2006 by tdecell Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Very cool! Kinda like the new Alabama coin I'm designing! Another personal coin? Or a AL 2006 coin? Quote
+tdecell Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) I just received pictures of the Mississippi geocoin from the geocoinstore and they look great! We have just about decided that 600 regular edition coins won't be enough for sale on the website, we are looking at increasing the initial order to 1000 regular edition and leave the limited edition at 150 coins (100 to be sold on the website, remainder to be sold at events, put in caches, etc...). We can always go back after the sale and do another short run to meet demand if needed (regular edition only) Thoughts?..... Edited January 17, 2006 by tdecell Quote

+pdxmarathonman Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Wow!!! Those coins are HUGE. Almost 3 inches across Whaddya mean there are other measuring scales? Quote
+tdecell Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Sorry, I went back and edited for reg / LE Quote

+graylling Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Those look great. Definitely have to pick up one when they go on sale. Quote
ParentsofSAM Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 gridlox -- TOO FUNNY! I might need to collect cans and sell some plasma... Quote

Silver nickle or antique silver? Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 The black Nickel! That pic looks silver, lol and maybe I should have read the rest of the thread first, eh? Quote
Not So Lost Puppies Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I always thought that 'black nickel' was ummm.... black those look like antique silver and then silver or nickel, most the other 'black nickel' coins all the exposed metal is black. Quote
+tdecell Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Kinda hard to take a good picture of shiny coins!! They tell me it is black nickle... Quote
+tdecell Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) **News!!** Most recent news... 500 regular edition go on sale at 9:00pm Eastern, Jan 27th, along with all LE Last 500 regular editions at 12:00 pm Eastern Jan 27th tdecell Edited January 23, 2006 by tdecell Quote
gridlox Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Last 500 regular editions at 12:00 pm Eastern Jan 27th tdecell Noon on the 27th? Or should it be 12:00am 28th (Which would be Friday Night midinght) I think? H*LL now I'm confused!! Edited January 23, 2006 by gridlox Quote
+tdecell Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Now you're confusing me! Actually, the geocoinstore just emailed me and wants to move the sale time up an hour or back an hour because of another sale happening at the same time! It was going to be 9pm and midnight, but I'll post tomorrow and let you know what time has been decided. tdecell Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Why $10 each for the LE? That's a bit pricey considering orders for the regular can't be placed together with the LE. Who set such a high price? Quote
gridlox Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) <snip> considering orders for the regular can't be placed together with the LE. What ju talkin bout, Willis!?! 500 regular edition go on sale at 9:00pm Eastern, Jan 27th, along with all LE Edited January 24, 2006 by gridlox Quote
+FlyinV Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 <snip> considering orders for the regular can't be placed together with the LE. What ju talkin bout, Willis!?! 500 regular edition go on sale at 9:00pm Eastern, Jan 27th, along with all LE But they both get charged the $3.13?! No shopping cart? And they'll ship together? That just ain't right! Quote
gridlox Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) NEVERMIND!! I just went to the site and realize what your talking about. I guess the best thing would be to go for the LE's first, huh? Edit: Flyin V chimes in as I was posting. Yep, a shopping cart system is definately needed here! Or at least both coins in the same order form. Edited January 24, 2006 by gridlox Quote
+DiskDevil Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Why $10 each for the LE? That's a bit pricey considering orders for the regular can't be placed together with the LE. Who set such a high price? Good question. $13.13 per coin IS rather high. It's my luck I'll miss this and have to get them on EEEEBAY and pay $28.00 for it. Quote
+prntr1 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Why $10 each for the LE? That's a bit pricey considering orders for the regular can't be placed together with the LE. Who set such a high price? Checking on the price now, I think it was just a communication error. Should be fixed soon, as we are contacting manufacturer this morning, thanks for pointing this out Atlantagal. Quote
+prntr1 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 New prices posted for the Mississippi coin. Thanks again for pointing this out, I will take the blame for the misposted pricing. We are also going to try and get the two sales staggered by 1/2 hour. Quote
+Marky Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 These are very cool, but you know what? I still prefer round coins. I don't know if I'm in a minority or not. The non-round coins I don't think of as coins (as much). I will still (attempt to) buy them though. --Marky Quote
+tdecell Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) *****Don't forget!***** MS coins go on sale tonight @ 8:00pm Eastern time! at The Geocoinstore 500 coins (+ all LE) will be sold at that time, the remaining 500 will be sold at midnight tonight, eastern.
