+Pengy&Tigger Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Good news and bad news folks. The silver Wales geocoins have arrived, but there are delays with the gold ones. We will be sending out the silver over the next couple of days, but the current estimate for the Gold is the end of the month. Here's a pic of a few to keep you going: T Quote Link to comment
+mollyjak Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Looking forward to receiving mine - many thanks Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If it saves you doubling your postage costs, I will happily wait for my silver coin to come with the gold. Quote Link to comment
Master Mariner Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) I'm with Stuey on that... if I ordered both - I cannot remember Edited March 15, 2006 by Master Mariner Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 They look very good - I think I ordered a gold too, if so I'm happy to wait until it's ready to save your post & packing as well. Adrian Quote Link to comment
+Malpas Wanderer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm with Stuey on that... if I ordered both - I cannot remember Likewise happy to wait if it helps your arrangements. Regards Colin Quote Link to comment
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Myself and the viking rider agree to wait for the gold coin too. Not only does it save postage but also the paper in the packaging, less trees to chop down means more cache hides Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 We did a joint order with Little Miss Naughty, and I am happy to wait and have both the silver and gold delivered together. LMN has no choice in the matter ..... but then that'll be because she has a gold one on order! Quote Link to comment
The Royles Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ordered one of each. I am also happy to wait and have both the silver and gold delivered together - good thinking Stuey Quote Link to comment
+Archer4 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 The (wholly) Welsh member of Archer4 says she's happy to wait to get gold + silver together too... Quote Link to comment

+macroderma Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 My silver coin arrived today veeeeerrrrrry nice I will release it eventually, but I'm keeping the gold one Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 My silver one arrived today and I had planned to release it as I have a gold one on the way too but am not so sure now as it's so nice. I could not bear to drill a hole in the corner for a tag like some other people do when they release coins into the wild...hmmm.... Quote Link to comment
+JWID Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 If anybody has an extra Gold coin or two that they would care to trade/sell to a couple Canadian caching teams with family ties to Wales, please contact me off the list. Grandma emigrated from Wales to Canada during WWII, and sadly passed away just before St. David's day this past year. We would love to have a gold coin to carry in our packs to remember her by. Thanks. JWID & m&m's_469 Quote Link to comment
+freespirit1402 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 any luck with golds arriving yet? Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think P&T are still in the US of A so we will have to wait a little longer for their return. Quote Link to comment

+Pengy&Tigger Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 They are indeed CT&E, back by the weekend. Yes we are still away, but the Golds have now been sent to Lynn of Team Maddie, and will be sent out as soon as they arrive. Quote Link to comment

+freespirit1402 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 are you freeing or keeping? ty P&T, im not nagging just wondering, hope you had a nice holiday Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ok, its a bit of a freak chance that I have one. Pengy and Tigger dont have them, they have not even seen them yet! But seeing as I was asked There is the piccie Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) are you freeing or keeping? ty P&T, im not nagging just wondering, hope you had a nice holiday I realise you're not nagging. I wouldn't blame you if you were. As I'm sure you realise, it's been quite frustrating for us too, what with delays and incorrect numbers/metals of coins being produced. I just wish we had known how late they would be, then we would have waited longer to invoice folks. T PS your carpet is a lot cleaner than mine tony!

+freespirit1402 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 wow @ gold one, now I really am looking forward to mine - i sent my silver out to travel. Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 The good news for the folks who have waited so patiently for the gold coins - you will get a little bonus. Basically, when the silver were produced, they made 200 extra silver and no gold (hence the delay). The tracking numbers from those silver coins were used on the gold coins. This means that for every gold coin, there will be a silver that exists with the same tracking number. We will be sending these extra silver out with the gold, so if you ordered a gold coin, you will also get the corresponding silver coin with the same tracking number. Think of it like when you buy travel bug tags, when you get the copy tag as well. This means that if you so desire, you could activate the coin(s) and sent out the silver one to travel, while keeping the gold one to admire. T Quote Link to comment
