+Team Laxson Posted May 1, 2006 Author Posted May 1, 2006 MrCOgeo is a class act. I am extremely happy to see a follow-up to the 2005 version at a reasonable price. Wish others would follow suit. Order to follow. Thanks guys! MrCOgeo is a class act. After all the energy that went into the 2005 coin, plus being the first state-trackable coin. He has been the catalyst of this coin. He is still an active participant in this coin too. Many of the packages ya'll will be receiving will be stuffed by the man himself. Today's update: All orders placed have been invoiced. If you placed an order and don't see a request for payment - I missed your order. I'm excited to get this coin into production. Stay tuned on the confirmation page for production and shipping updates. We'll also post the details here too... -Team Laxson Quote
Ferreter5 Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Sent along my order e-mail. Spiffy coin! Nice price! Quote
+MrCOgeo Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 ... MrCOgeo is a class act. ... I thank you all for the kind words and comments. (You guys are going to make me blush... ) Course credit where credit is due...Team Laxson is the true hard worker of the year, I just doodled a little here and there. My personal hope is that the CO Geocoin will continue to set precedence for enjoyment, value and over all satisfaction and reflects well on the Colorado geocaching community as a whole. From one appreciative geocoin-geocacher to other geocachers, l can't wait to get these geocoins out there! (Though through all this "mushy" stuff, let me state I fully support capitalism. Ain't perfect but it's better than anything out there. For now? ) Quote

+freakmanhere Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I think there should be a limit to how many some one can order. Quote

+Team Laxson Posted May 6, 2006 Author Posted May 6, 2006 As we continue to take orders as the coins are being minter, MrCOgeo has been working on developing the new 2006 icon. Well, we'd like to get your opinion on the currrent rendition: Thoughts? Quote

+Team Laxson Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) ditto on liking the icon Thanks! I had no idea how difficult it would be to get a 32x32 and 16x16 icon to look good. MrCOgeo once again has come up with some great designs! Kudos! Edit: spelling Edited May 9, 2006 by Team Laxson Quote

Well, we'd like to get your opinion on the currrent rendition: Thoughts? I like the State flower Icon (Columbine) Yep, same here. MrCOgeo is still hammering out other options, and working with a certain 'Lemon' character here for samples. Hopefully we will have a final decision on the icon soon. Quote
+Team Laxson Posted May 12, 2006 Author Posted May 12, 2006 Just received an e-mail from the minter: "The mint has pushed back the shipping date for your coin. The new ship date is 5/25/06. Sorry about that." More time to buy and be the first to have these coins. There are coins available so go ahead and order a few before they sell out! Quote
