+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Still a few silver coins available at the geocoinstore.com for any interested parties. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 This sale has reached it's halfway mark of 2 weeks and the price has dropped to $5.00 from $7.00 per coin. Now's your best chance to get one at a great price. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just noticed, the Geocoinstore.com has LOWERED it's S&H. Don't know how long, but all coins have a lower S&H now. You can not purchase my personal coin, with icon and trackable for a total of $6.63 for 1 coin. That's $5.00 for the coin and only $1.63 S&H. And I BELIEVE that $1.63 will cover S&H for up to 10 coins! Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Yes, the $1.63 is per order, not coin. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Geocoinstore.com has LOWERED it's S&HHooray! I'm much more likely to buy from them now. Quote Link to comment

hirlas Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm sure it was a sales thought to try and move more coins, they seem to have a lot hanging around lately. Yeah, and what is strange as a seller you would think that WE would be told so we could post this info. Quote Link to comment

+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 To the best of my knowledge, the silver coins you have purchased off the store should be shipping. I received the gold coins, so I figured the silver coins from the store would have already shipped. Has anyone that ordered the silver coins from the store gotten them? Please let me know. I have no control over their shipping, but if there is a problem I'd like to know so I can ask them about it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

+desert georangers Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 According to the "geocoin shipping dates" topic, they were shipped on 4/19. I have not received yet, but did get the signal march coin today that was shipped on 4/21. Quote Link to comment

I have not received yet, but did get the signal march coin today that was shipped on 4/21. Thanks for the update. I'll ask them if they have shipped unless I hear from others here that have gotten their coins. I think from the 19th to the 26th would be sufficient time for them to arrive, but I know the post office has taken their time with packages before.. Quote Link to comment

+qattales Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 i've gotten all my coins from geocoinstore but this one for some reason. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 OK, so they ARE shipping as Team AZFastFeet got theirs. I'll ask the guys over at the Geocoin Store about it just to ease my mind. But I'll guess then that the coins are or have shipped and will show eventually. Thanks for the info. gattales, I don't have control over their shipping, but from what everyone has said, they seem to be good about their shipping. Who knows why it hasn't shown up yet. As I get info back I'll post it here for you (everyone). Quote Link to comment

Ferreter5 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Today I received the two coins I ordered. I enjoy the coin's design, however both have some quality problems. Coin #1: The silver area around the state of Arizona has tiny scratches all running in the same direction. Coin #2: The silver area around the state of Arizona has tiny scratches all running in the same direction, but the scratches are in a different direction than on Coin #1. Also, the finish didn't take in some places -- as you tip the coin back and forth you can see where it did and did not go on correctly. I've sent them e-mail about getting replacements. They've been prompt with taking care of other issues, so I expect things will be cleared up shortly. Edited April 28, 2006 by Ferreter5 Quote Link to comment

I DO see tiny scratches all running in the same direction on the silver area, however, since I have seen this same thing on several other coins and it's actually fairly hard to see, I'm not going to worry about it. I can find flaws that minor on nearly every coin I have. Perhaps your scratches are worse. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 haughton even if there was a problem they have been very good about addressing so i am not too concerned. thanks for checking.. Thanks, I did send the email, but as others are claiming to have received their coins, I'm guessing yours has gotten stalled somewhere. I've shipped several hundred packages, and some take longer than others for some reason. I think we all know it. Please let me know when it shows up so I can feel better about it. Ferreter5, I have not actually seen any of the silver coins, so I can't see what you're talking about. I do however have the gold coins in my posession (minus most of them that have already be sent out). I can see the scratches you are talking about, in my case they are all going top to bottom. I have no clue what might cause this, it may be that it is a byproduct of the polishing process and the polishing cloth was not clean? I really have no clue. Looking at other coins I have that are "antique" gold, that is basically what it looks like. The scractches on them that remove the majority of the 'antique' finish and leave the gold behind. Just a thought. Please let us know what you hear back from the geocoin store. Quote Link to comment
Ferreter5 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Just edited by above post to add a bit (bolded below) regarding the scratches on Coin #2: The silver area around the state of Arizona has tiny scratches all running in the same direction, but the scratches are in a different direction than on Coin #1. The reason I posted here was not to bash the coin or the coin store. I was wondering if the scratches are in fact a defect or if that is the way the coin is intended to be. The bad finish on Coin #2 is definitely a problem. I let you know what I find out. Edited April 28, 2006 by Ferreter5 Quote Link to comment

The bad finish on Coin #2 is definitely a problem. I let you know what I find out. Ah, I missed the part that there were secondary scratches in a different direction. All the "scratches" I see on the gold are in the same direction, as stated, probably part of either the polishing process or ??? I don't know. But they are all in the same directio as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment

Thank you for producing this. Four peaks has always been a favorite AZ landmark for me. Thank you for the compliment. I think anyone that has spent any time in the Phoenix area of Az knows Four Peaks. It's instantly recognizable to anyone here and anyone that has ever seen it. I figured it would make a nice landmark. And, IMHO, better than Camelback. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Got a note back from the mint. The coins ARE shipping as they are being ordered. Of course we all know that one package can get to you in 3 days while another will take over a week. Why? Who knows, that's the USPS for you. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Nice to get comments like this.. "...they are one of the nicest coins I have purchased in awhile" I've also been told that one person normally doesn't like "image" coins, but was really impressed with my coins. So I can say this is a really nice coin for a great price. Especially since they are trackable, numbered and have a custom icon. And only $5.00 + S&H on the geocoinstore. Quote Link to comment
