+Nocturnal Navigators Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Back to work today after a weeks vacation This eases the pain though. Can't want to get them. Quote Link to comment
+Scratch-n-Win Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Inquiring minds wanna know, did they ship, did they ship??? Just wanted to update and let everyone know that the shipping date for the coins is aprox. the 25th of April. The mint is actually going through all the coins making sure they all fit together like they are supposed to. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Team Goju Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would like two sets please gojumeister@gmail.com Quote Link to comment
+Moses Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Talked to BBB last night and he was putting together orders and printing labels and couldn't talk but a minute and if you know BBB that's a miracle. Their on their way!!! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 couldn't talk but a minute and if you know BBB that's a miracle. LMAO! That's so true. That boy has the gift of gab! Quote Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yes we are actually putting together the shipping part of the stuff and yes the coins are on the way to us at this moment so it won't be but a couple of days. Please remember that we are dealing with around 2000 coins so it might just take us a few days to get everything underway as far as shipping the coins out. As far as folks that are wanting sets now, as was stated a while back, the preorders were closed way back when but after all the coins have been shipped and IF there are sets that don't get paid for (already a couple that haven't been paid as of now) I will offer them up on a first come first served basis to the waiting list which I have already started. These coins might have taken a little longer to mint than we expected but we have the samples and they will be well worth the wait! Thanks..... Quote Link to comment
+Nocturnal Navigators Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Great, can't wait. Quote Link to comment

+BackBrakeBilly Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Update.......... The Puzzle Cache Coin Sets have arrived and they look GREAT! They came in yesterday evening and the first armload of packages will go out in todays mail. Please be patient for just a little while longer and we will get all of them shipped out very soon. Thanks Again! Quote Link to comment
+Team Laxson Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 YAY! Thanks for all the work you've put into getting these coins produced. Now I have to bug the post office for packages. They love me. Quote Link to comment
+Rick618 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Big thumbs up to Billy and better half for the coin work and keeping updates posted. Like most I don't normally look forward to the mail truck showing up but now with the chance that there might be coins I'll be like one of the kids waiting on the ice cream truck to come around. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) We pulled a all nighter on packing coins up and All the Puzzle Coin sets that were sold have been shipped as of noon today. We did however decide to use a coin retrival service with the Puzzle Coin to make sure to get them out to everyone as quick as possible but a sticker has been placed on each set of coins to where you get the activation code. The Icons for the coins are not yet up and running but they have been sent in and should be up very soon according to Groundspeak. Start watching your mailbox for the coins will be there soon! Thanks again, now it's time to finish my nap! BBB Edited April 30, 2006 by BackBrakeBilly Quote Link to comment

+frivlas Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 So, I got mine today. It sounds like everybody is pretty happy with them. Is anybody else having problems with one or maybe two of them not fitting together properly? Quote Link to comment

Is anybody else having problems with one or maybe two of them not fitting together properly? The Set I actually kept for myself were a little tight but after a little working the pieces they seemed to loosen up and fit together perfect. Of course, I didn't want them too loose anyway.

+Insane_Dog_Posse Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Got mine yesterday. Sweeeeeeeettttttt. Quote Link to comment
+frivlas Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) So, I got mine today. It sounds like everybody is pretty happy with them. Is anybody else having problems with one or maybe two of them not fitting together properly? Two pieces fit together great from either direction. I have one piece that can only be fit in from one direction, not the other, and my other piece just doesn't fit correctly. I can't get the set to lie flat as a result. edit: I'll take them tonight to a coin non-event and see if some of the other people can show me that I'm doing it wrong.

+slowdownracer Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Got my set of puzzle coins today !!! Yes, the bottom two do not fit together perfectly, rather tight. But I can probably work it out just by playing with them for a while. They won't be stored together anyway, each will take up its own spot in one of the plastic pages in my notebook. By the way, NICE JOB BBB !!! Quote Link to comment
+mytfine65&geogal Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 We got ours yesterday. They fit great. Thanks for the good job. Quote Link to comment

Ferreter5 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Woo! Got my sets today. They look really nice! Some of the pieces are a tight fit but I can get all of mine to fit together and lay flat with just a little fiddling. Thank you for the really nice coin set! Quote Link to comment
+IC1 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Got mine the other day, I love em! Figures... I only got one set, now I wish I would have gotten at least one more set. Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) Just a public note (I already sent you an e-mail) that our two sets came yesterday, and we are *very* pleased with the results. These are really well-done coins, with a nice heft to them, and excellent workmanship all around. Gonna be hard to break up the one set that we'll be passing around in caches But we're looking forward to the neat comments that we expect these to get when people find them. Thanks for your efforts in getting the designs done and approved and all, and especially for getting them in the mail as quickly as you did. Can't wait to see what you come up with next Edited May 3, 2006 by chaosmanor Quote Link to comment
+Team Laxson Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 We got our 2 sets in today. These coins are beautiful. C&P did a great job! Pieces fit together great - a truely amazing accomplishment! Great job on these coins BBB! Quote Link to comment

+Nocturnal Navigators Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Cool icons. Didn't realize there were to be 4 different ones. Even better that I named the coins "Puzzle Coin Green" "Puzzle Coin Blue"...and so on. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment
+Snowwolf75 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Just wanted to let everyone know that the icons are now up and running! Thanks again! Was there talk about getting a fifth icon if you managed to complete a set, or am I confused? Quote Link to comment

+BackBrakeBilly Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Just a heads up for those following this thread........... We have a sample set of Antique Copper Puzzle coins which look GREAT! The antique finish makes the relief on the back of the coins stand out nicely. We are thinking about having a VERY limited run of these coins done IF there is enough interest in it. If you might be interested, let us know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
