+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) 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 on geocaching.com 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 Edited February 8, 2006 by bikinibottomfeeders Quote Link to comment
+Geo Gypsy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I collect states and counties so I am very interested in this one. Would love to see the artwork soon as you get it done......... Thanks for thinking up this one...... Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 We hope to have the artwork to post soon and we are trying to keep cost down also. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I noted at interest of 2 at CT, but if the design is exceptional, that number could increase. Quote Link to comment
+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Rest assured, exceptional is my middle name...well actually its scott but you know what I mean I think Jim's middle name might be exceptional though...I'm pretty sure it is. I'll have to ask pam and get back with you though Edited February 8, 2006 by bikinibottomfeeders Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hope to have price finalized tomorrow. Right now it looks like it will be around $6.50 per coin shipping included. Quote Link to comment
+Eagles61 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I posted as seeking 1 but may increase it as well. Quote Link to comment
+tiki-4 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I posted at CT, but had to modify it after i came back here and read the rest of the forum. 6.50 for a 1" seems high, even including postage..... Quote Link to comment

It is high. 1" are very inexpensive. On the quantity that they're talking of, $5.50 shipped would still earn them a profit. Two mini coins can be shipped for $.39.

+Prairiepartners Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Before we all start throwing stones.... Please wait til we post correct price. One always wants to post alittle higher than expected. It's easier to lower price than to raise it. BTW Tenn. micros were $5.00 plus shipping, so our base price is really close to what was charged there. Quote Link to comment
+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'd also like to add that we may not be using the same company as you did on your mico coins so there may be some difference in price there as well. But like Jim said its easier to lower price than raise it. Quote Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It really amazes me when people start selling a coin without even posting a picture of it and that people buy coins without seeing the coin. Now that is addiction. Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have artwork back and will post pics as soon as BBF gets to see it and we discuss things. I like it so far, but needs a small tweek . Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It really amazes me when people start selling a coin without even posting a picture of it and that people buy coins without seeing the coin. Now that is addiction. We're just adding it to our seeking list. I don't think PayPal is active yet (or at least it wasn't pre-Survivor) 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.

+Prairiepartners Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just a note to above artwork....the coords are being changed to different coords to reflect downtown Indianapolis (center of downtown circle) and will be flipped right side up. Coins will be epoxy coated also. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Paid for 2 and 3, but the LE didn't update to paid properly. If you could fix it when you get a chance. Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 We are working on it Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 There is a typo on the coin: "Hoosier's". Who is Hoosier and what are you doing with his coin? It should be "Hoosiers". Plurals do not use apostrophes. Quote Link to comment
