+prntr1 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Due to the glitch on cointracking.com, I will incur an extra .30 per coin sale from paypal, due to this I am suspending sales for the time being. I will have another option as soon as possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 If I may be so bold, how are sales going? The quest to make a reasonably priced series of geocoins is a noble venture, and I hope that it will be able to continue. I clicked on your link above, and the civilwargeocoins.com site looks like a nice start. Quote Link to comment

I clicked on your link above, and the civilwargeocoins.com site looks like a nice start. You may be so bold, have about 600 sold on cointracking.com, 200 through the very simple site I set up, die art is in the works and monies sent to minter in the morning. Still plenty left though, I hope that when they hit the caches, more will sell. Buy Now!!! Quote Link to comment

+KandRS Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I'm eager to see the samples of these. Quote Link to comment
+prntr1 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I'm eager to see the samples of these. Got these in while in West Virginia last week, will get delivery time in the next day or so, and gave the go ahead on the next two, which I will wait until they are in hand to sell. The one pic is clearer, but the detail is similar to the Nevada Coin. http://www.civilwargeocoins.com/Samplespage.html Couldn't get link working, use above address Thanks Edited March 20, 2006 by prntr1 Quote Link to comment

+ScoutingWV Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 ummm ... is it "Sumter" as it is on the coin, or is it "Sumpter"? Quote Link to comment
+RebelJedi Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 ummm ... is it "Sumter" as it is on the coin, or is it "Sumpter"? It is Sumter. I have family that has lived there for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact my granddad use to have a pig farm just on the outskirts of town. Quote Link to comment
+prntr1 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Quick update, First two coins will be in my hands around the 13th, I will ship them as quick as I can, should not take longer than two days to get them all out, as I have labels and packaging ready. The next two in the set are in progress, but I will not presell them, when I have them, I will sell them. I will do the rest of these coins the same way, I don't want them going through Wyoming to get here!!!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment
+prntr1 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 UPDATE Just got word that first two coins shipped from mint April 10. I have labels ready and will just need to sort, this weekend is Easter so that may slow things down. I am going out of town Tuesday April 18th, and will have them all shipped before then, but will not have interent access for three days. I will post here when they are all shipped. The next two coins should be ready in 2-3 weeks, and I went ahead and gave the go ahead on the final 6 this morning. I will NOT presell any more of the coins, when they are in hand, I will sell. Those of you who bought LE's of the first two, will be given first dibs on the LE's. Watch your email for a notification through cointracking.com. Quote Link to comment

+prntr1 Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 Coins arrived Saturday morning, they are all ready split up, in envelopes and ready to mail Monday morning, they should start hitting mailboxes starting Tuesday. I will be out of town until Tuesday to Friday, so any questions/problems will be answered when I return. Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Thanks for the update. I will be looking forward to seeing these in my mailbox this week. Shilo Quote Link to comment
+prntr1 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 All coins ordered by April 11, 2006 went into the mail on Monday, April 17, with the exception of three international orders. Again I will be out of town until Friday night, and will not have any email access. Coins 3 & 4 should arrive while I am gone, and will go on sale at that time. Thanks Quote Link to comment

+The Blind Acorn Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think he said before that previous customers get first shot at new coins. I'm going out of town as well and am not sure how reliable my internet access is going to be. Hmmmm... Quote Link to comment

manubrium Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Has anyone tried to retrieve your activation code yet? It said my code did not exist in the database. If anyone got theirs to work, let me know and I'll try again. Quote Link to comment
+Rusty & Libby Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I know about the code thing and I am following up. I thought the codes were loaded a few weeks ago but apparently not. Give it a bit and as soon as I can contact Mike we'll make sure they are loaded. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

+JMBIndy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 ummm ... is it "Sumter" as it is on the coin, or is it "Sumpter"? It is Sumter. I have family that has lived there for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact my granddad use to have a pig farm just on the outskirts of town. Yes, but let's not confuse Sumter with Ft. Sumter, which is off the coast of Charleston! Great coins. I've already put in an order for them. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Quote Link to comment
+Rusty & Libby Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I have not been able to contact who I need to get the activation codes loaded online. So... and I may regret this... if you need a code you can email me either through my profile or direct rusty at personalgeocoins.com I know they will be online within 24-48 hrs but if you need it right now just drop me an email and I'll try to be as quick as I can.

+ajayhawkfan Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I received my Civil War Coins today and they look great!! I only have one question about them. Could you not have made the tracking number smaller? I was able to read them with a low powered microscope. Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hmm, not sure that I will be buying anymore coins. Have to wait for the light of day to really get a look at them. I ordered the LEs and I can't read the numbers nor see the picture on the back of the coins. Quote Link to comment
+tdecell Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thank you Rusty for getting me the activation #'s, the coins look great and the icon is sharp!!! Can't wait for the rest of the series. Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I got mine today as well. I noticed that the Ft. Sumter tracking numbers are much easier to read than the Manassas coins were. Hopefully this can be fixed for the rest of the series. Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Got mine too, Thanks Rusty Dont have a regular pewter to compare the two but..... I think the backside lots alot of detail with the satin gold color on the LE. However price is Great and Hope to get one out in the wild soon! Edited April 20, 2006 by RustyBeerCan Quote Link to comment
+thBriGuy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 OMG! A seperate icon for each coin? That's just silly, especially since it's the same icon with a different number on it. Is this really necesary? Now what if I miss on 5&6, there'll be a gap in my numbers, so I'll just have to stop buying anymore after that so my icons don't go 1234789 10 and so on. On the bright side, these coins are really beautiful. I can hardly wait to get the activation codes... but I'll wait, no need to make anyone search out the numbers when I can do it when I get home sunday. Quote Link to comment
+tdecell Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Just got off the phone with prntr1, If you bought coins 1 and 2, you will recieve an email when the next coins will go on sale.

+Sharpee Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Got my coins today, just activated them (Thanks Rusty), Love them. Agree that the tracking number on coin #2 is a bit hard to read. Will be ordering more, Thanks Again!! Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just noticed on my coins that the artwork and the coins aren't the same. The coin has a cannon on it but the soldiers' hats are missing. Quote Link to comment
+theharvester45 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Got to have a set or two or three.... I am a Civil War History fanatic... Originally from Rhode Island I am now keeping a low profile in East Texas....Yankees do not fair well here...(LOL)... Quote Link to comment

+FlyinV Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Received coin #1 and 2 today... but we have a few questions: 1. What's the mess pointed out by the red arrows? It looks like the battle scene is spilling out onto the outer ring. 2. Do these look "Misty Gold" like we paid for? Quote Link to comment
+Ramblin Ramsey's Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 When will we be able to activate? The normal way that is... Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 1. What's the mess pointed out by the red arrows? It looks like the battle scene is spilling out onto the outer ring. Funny, to each his own I guess. I too noticed that the scene spills onto the ring. And, to make a stereo photography analogy, it violates the stereo window. But I like the effect. I think it adds additional depth to to the coin. and probably in a way that could not be obtained by pressing the full depth into the planchet. Quote Link to comment
+prntr1 Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Got mine. Can't wait for the next coins. Thanks for the kudos Quote Link to comment
