+DancesWithMoose Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Got mine. Nice series Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I got in for 2 sets. They look nice. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Good idea and nice designs, but I'd prefer to have the option to buy individual coins. Pass Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I decided to pass on this one since the only coin I really like is the lighthouse. So if anyone buys 2 sets and plans on breaking them up, please consider making a trade with the lighthouse coin with me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Bought the set.. I need only one coin to get the icon so the others will go to trade. Quote Link to comment
+TMOCM Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Anyone else have problems ordering this series? After ordering and submitting payment via PayPal I was re-directed back to the order site but the following message appeared: Your payment was not received by Paypal payment system. So, I put the order through again, same result and about 10 minutes later I finally get two order confirmations with the same order number, along with two paypal receipts. Looks like I may have an extra set if anyone is looking for one. Quote Link to comment
+Grimlock Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ditto on others requests. If someone wants to break up their set, i'd like to buy 1 coin. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+emb021 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Anyone else have problems ordering this series? After ordering and submitting payment via PayPal I was re-directed back to the order site but the following message appeared: Your payment was not received by Paypal payment system. I got the same thing, and was concerned about re-ordering for fear it would produce 2 orders. I checked my paypal account, which showed a payment to The Caching Place, and then checked my email and found an order confirmation, so have to expect everything thing went thru fine, but I don't understand the cause of the message. I guess its a general glitch in their system if more then one person got it. (maybe everyone did) Quote Link to comment
+cazray and Mrs.caz Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Picked up a set. Edited February 10, 2006 by cazray and Mrs.caz Quote Link to comment
+marlin01 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I ran into the same problem with paypal and ended up with a double order as well. Quote Link to comment
+emb021 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I see the coins are no longer listed at the site, so I guess they are all sold out. I would have hoped they would have left them there as a kind of archive, like the other sold out coins. Quote Link to comment
hobo dude Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Had the same problem with paypal. E-mailed to confirm order and things were ok. They mentioned that, like some companies, communication between them don't seem to work very well but everything was good. I have mine on order. Another state coin (sort of) off my list of to gets.

+legna and sOulbAit Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I decided to pass on this one since the only coin I really like is the lighthouse. So if anyone buys 2 sets and plans on breaking them up, please consider making a trade with the lighthouse coin with me. Thanks. I also passed on this set. I wish there were sold speretly. I would like to trade for the Castillo De San Marcos. I really like that one. If anyone would like to trade, I would like get that one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 If anyone buys the set and wants to trade for just the Shipwreck one let me know. Quote Link to comment
+MissLatitude Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I clicked the above link just because (it's 5 hours after the sale) and I was able to order a set, and pay via paypal. I wasn't going to get this set and I really don't want it...so I will probably be offerring it soon...(I will first offer it to geochums members) I just thought it was weird I was able to get the coin set...are there more than 200 sets being made?

Not So Lost Puppies Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I would be willing to break up one of my sets. Looks like 3 different ones have been requested, I'll wait for your replies before I accept others. Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I received my 2 sets today WOW they look nice They are so nice I don't know what I'm going to do with the 2nd set now I had plans for them but now I'm going to think on it for a few days before I decide what to do with them.

+footTRAX Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Great Job! I got mine today and they look amazing. One of the best I have seen yet. -footTRAX Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 We received a bunch of nice coins today, but this series are by far my favs of the ones received today (which is saying a lot, because the other coins we received are often commented as being others favorites). The 3D dies were rendered very well, and the coins are a joy to look at. I'm looking forward to more in this series. --Marky - K6FTF Quote Link to comment
+HerrK & Friends Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 They looks really amazing...each several coin of this series! Quote Link to comment
