+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hey fellow hoosiers, Prairiepartners and I are in the process of making a micro geocoin for the state of Indiana. This is not meant to be the "official" geocoin or anything like that so no getting panties in bunches please. The coins will be micro sized and will fit in film canisters. They will also be trackable and will have a unique icon. We will be making 500 but if the demand is there then we will make 1000. Please post your interest here: Indiana Micro Geocoin Artwork will be posted at the above link shortly. Have a great day! bikinibottomfeeders Quote Link to comment
+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 All right here it is.....The Indiana Micro Geocoin Front Back Get the regular Here for $5.50 including shipping Get the LE Here for $6.00 including shipping (limit 2 on the LE-silvers) Again these will be trackable with the prefix IN and a basketball for the Icon. Please don't post a seeking for a trade right now. The seeking is for orders. Thanx! Jim and David Thanx to Rusty for the AWESOME design. Once again you have exceeded expectations.

+Prairiepartners Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) We have made a few minor changes to design ie. Hoosier's is spelled "Hoosiers" and coords have been corrected to proper format and reflect monument circle in Indianapolis. We also hope more Indiana cachers buy these and place into caches here in Indiana. Come on Hoosiers !! These are going quick, so don't hessitate too long! Any problems ordering or any questions, please feel free to contact me or BBF. These are going to be trackable thru geocaching.com and 1000 coins will be made and the custom icon will be a basketball. Thanks! Edited February 12, 2006 by Prairiepartners Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The LE (silvers) are SOLD OUT. However we have around 250 regulars (Gold) left . Get em while you can!! These are perfect geocoins to place into micros and they are trackable thru geocaching.com with a basketball icon. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for all the paid preorders that helped make this coin happen!! Quote Link to comment

+Prairiepartners Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I just got word that these will be arriving next week. Sorry for the delay, the waiting is almost over! We will keep you updated on the progress! We will have some remaining coins available for sale at Indiana events. Thanks! Jim & Dave Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Here is the email I got from Rusty: Hi Jim, I still have not received them although they are scheduled to be here any day. They were still being held up yesterday due to quality issues with the engraving on some of them and while we both want a quality coin at least some priority has to be given to just getting them shipped out. I have stopped short of just simply saying to ship them because I want nice coins but I have demanded at least partial shipment of the coins that do not have problems. I will keep you posted. My apologies, Rusty… We will keep you updated as soon as more info is known. Sorry for the wait! Jim & Dave Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Great News...Just got off phone with Rusty and coins are in Michigan and will be mailed to us later today. We hope to have these in a couple of days and then give us thru the weekend to get them shipped out. Will post a picture as soon as I got them in hand for all to see. We're glad that they are finally arriving so we can get these in your hands and into caches! Jim & Dave Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Received the coins today!!! Now the fun stuff. I just got off of work (3rd shift) and will post a picture alittle later today. Dave and I will be packaging them up this weekend and should have them ready to mail out by the first of next week (hopefully Monday morning). Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Here's a scan of the coins in all the metals. Kindof hard to see in picture, coins are epoxied coated for their protection. We have a limited amount left to sell, however we are going to wait til we get those already paid for shipped first. Before everyone asks: We made 50 in Blk Nickle for Dave and I to split for trades, etc. Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Mailed almost all coins today. Thanks for being patient. Quote Link to comment
+Beffums Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Mailed almost all coins today. Thanks for being patient. Wow - I came home from work today to a surprise in the mailbox -- microcoins! They look great guys - thanks for arranging this. Quote Link to comment
+Car54 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Got our coins yesterday. They look great! Sure was a challenge to my bi-focals to read the serial number, though. I managed to squint just right and now we have a nice, new icon! Mrs. Car54 Quote Link to comment
