+WWC-World's Worst Cacher Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Every once in awhile, and not often, I see a coin design where I say, "Man, I wish I had thought of that." This coin fits. It is awesome. I am in if the price is reasonable. . . . . . well actually . . . . I am in even if the price isn't (unless it is like $50 a coin or something). Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I've always been fond of parrots (cockatoos in particular but macaws and parrots also). I'd love a set of these. They are really nice! Looking forward to ordering. CF30 Quote
+Fundamental Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I hope we can arrange trade to our personal geocoin ? Quote
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 We have parrots of our own! Count us in! Beautiful coin! Quote
+UOTrackers Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Hey! You know this SC girl wants a couple!!! I Love em! Bella will love em! Gotta have em!!! Quote
+mikeylou Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Oh my... so nice. I usually limit myself to the standards, but... very nice coins. Quote
+wowieann Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Oh! As the mom of two parrots, there's no way I could not order one of these! I doubt if I could afford a set, but (as long as they're not prohibitively expensive) please put me down for one. I'm not as crazy about the black nickel as the others for some reason, but I'll take what I can get. This is definitely the geocoin I wish I'd had made for myself! -- Valerie/wowieann addicted (to parrots) since 1992 addicted (to geocaching) since February, 2006 Quote

+Stuck on WGS84 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 EST since I am in South Carolina Why am I not surprised that South Carolina is behind the times (for at least part of the year)! Quote
+The Dream Cachers Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I would love to have a set! I'm assuming that's 10:00pm here in Florida, DST? Right? Quote
gridlox Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 EST since I am in South Carolina Why am I not surprised that South Carolina is behind the times (for at least part of the year)! Now that wasn't neccesary. Great Coin Parrolet! I'm definately in for a couple!! D-man Quote

Parrolet Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 Half of the LE coins will be available at each time. This should allow for everyone in the US and our friends across the pond to be able to take part in the sale of the coins. Email your preorder to: parroletscoins*at* yahoo dot com You will use this special subject line phrase FLYIN’ TO THE CACHES for the subject line for today’s sale. This is a different email address from my profile address. I will be going by the time stamp on the emails. So emailing me for LE coins before that time on the second sale will not count. I will come to the forums and give a new password for the subject line to use for the second sale on Sunday. If you ordered LE coins on the 1st sale you cannot order anymore LE coins on the second sale. I will need this information also: Geo Name: Full Name: Full Mailing address: Country (if other then USA): Email Address: PayPal Email Address: Number and Type of Coin(s) wanted Thanks, Parrolet Quote

+Hiking Cockroachess Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Well, I have ordered my first geocoins...other than two that have been given to me in the past. Alex was very excited to see that there are "proper parrot" geocoins available, rather than the TB's that I've shown him in the past, as in this picture. http://img.geocaching.com/track/log/ff742e...a4ca795fc03.jpg Quote

Parrolet Posted May 1, 2006 Author Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) I forgot to mention this. I am having pins made also to go with the coins. If you would like to purchase they will be $1.10 each + $0.50 per ever 4 pins ordered for shipping. All orders of 10 coins or more will get 1- FREE copper coin (activated) to keep or place in a cache. All orders of 4 coins or more will get 1- FREE pin that matches the coin.
