We also have two business trips planned so far this year -- one out west and one down south. We just may be taking some unregistered speical coins with us. Quote Link to comment

+Anthus Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Here is an update of the artwork for the Decoder GeoCoin. The area marked with a red X is where the coin will be cut out. This cutout when placed over an image can reveal a character. Just one more way to use to coin in a geocoin puzzle cach. Thanks.....Anthus Quote Link to comment

hobo dude Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Think I have one on order but not sure. Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 There are less than 15 of each silver and copper left. I was going to post a list of all those that have ordered but then thought maybe some of you wouldn't want that info to be public. We added code to the form late last night to automatically send a confirmation. So anyone that pre-ordered late last night should have gotten an email confirmation. Today I will emailing out confirmations to everyone who has pre-ordered. I hope to also get out paypal invoices early next week. Hobodude, you ordered 1 copper and 1 silver. Thanks.....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 I just finished up emailing all of the pre-order confirmations. If you did not receive yours, please send me an email. Thanks....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 To all those that pre-ordered the Anthus Decoder Geocoins I had a little bit of trouble getting Groundspeak to approve the back of my coin. I like to put their logo in my Anthus logo. They approved it for my Firefighter coin without a problem. However, since it is so much smaller on the Decoder coin, we had to go back and forth with Groundspeak until we finally got it approved. The set me back about 2 1/2 weeks. The proofs were ordered two weeks ago. I expect them any day now. I sent an email to the coin company a couple days ago to get a status on the proofs. However, I haven't heard back from them yet. I will post updates as I get them. The coin company is one of the more popular ones but a different one than I used for the Firefighters. Thanks.....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 I opened up my email this morning and the pictures of my proofs were there. I have to run my two girls to dance class and then since it's an unusually nice day in PA were going caching (yea !!). I really don't like caching in the snow. I really don't like snow. At any rate, when I get back this evening, I'll post pics of some of the proofs. Thanks....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Here are proofs for the Antique Gold LE and the Copper. I do not have a pic for the Silver yet. Did anyone pick up on the hidden items in on the outside circle of the front of the coin? Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I see two of the things in the outher circle. They look good, can't wait. Quote Link to comment

+sawblade5 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I can only pick out one thing, man I REALLY stink at puzzles! I only sucked at first but I am now getting a hang of them. If I have plenty of time on my hands I tend to go into my GSAK and go after the Puzzle Caches that I have listed there to get the final coordinates by solving the puzzle. Quote Link to comment
+RebelJedi Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I believe that I have found all three. I'll email what I think they might be. Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 I received word today that my Decoder coins are in transit to me from the mint. I hope to have them early next week and will ship them out promptly. The Decoder regulars (copper and silver) are all sold out. I do have a few LEs (50 made) and XLEs (10 made) to trade. Both are trade only. Only the XLEs have a very cool lens in them. I'm trading the LEs for low mint coins or harder to find coins. I'm trading the XLEs for rare and very hard to find coins only. Thanks....Anthus Quote Link to comment

+The Blind Acorn Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 good deal. looking forward to having this one. how's it going w/ update the software? database? Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 95% of the orders and trades were taken to the post office today. I tried to take them yesterday but they refused to do them saying they didn't have enough time to get them done. So I took them back today at Noon. The postal workers looked at me funny again and hesitated to put postage on them. I was just about to get upset with them when a nice postal worker came out and said she would do them. Boy, you would think I was asking them to do something that they are not being paid to do! Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 how's it going w/ update the software? database? Sent you a new installation CD today along with your Decoder coin order (separate pacakges). Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 I just got around to activating one of the Decoder coins. Looks like the icon isn't up yet. I'll be emailing Oakcoins to see what's going on. Just thought I would let everyone know before the emails start rolling in. Thanks.... Quote Link to comment

I'm telling you, I only get a colder shoulder at the DMV. (Unlike the PO, the DMV has no competition.) I'm going to shand out at my mail box to wait for this coin. I can hardly wait to get it!

+Goldfinch593 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I just activated my Anthus Decoder Geocoins on GC.com! Even though there is no specific link for the Anthus Decoder Geocoin, I clicked on the Activation Code link anyway, entered my tracking number and email address and got activation codes that worked on GC.com!
