+crake Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well, the glow-in-the-dark translucent experiment that I didn't tell too many people about was a failure. (yeah, it was going to be neat). Oh well - the regular translucent suncatcher (warm and cool colors) are still a go! Schedule is currently: samples and photos the week of the 17th, orders late July, ship mid-August.

+crake Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Samples are in! Orders and coins will be available in August. Quote Link to comment

kansaswatchdog Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 They came out really nice Crake. I would agree that they are very nice. Just wonder why the above "poster" doesn't have a problem with the geocachers name not being on it when the above "poster" does have a problem when others don't put their caching name on other coins. I quote the above "poster" from another geocoin discussion "Too bad they neglected to put their geocaching nicks on the coin. Then I think it would be a fantastic personal geocoin. As it stands right now, it's a generic coin that somehow managed to get approval for tracking numbers. Shame." end quote. Guess it may depend on the coin maker? Just food for thought. But enough of that. Look forward to seeing these in a cache. At least I hope someone turns some loose. Quote Link to comment
+bobuk Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 ME! ME! ME! i need a couple or three of these, they look great B. Quote Link to comment

+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Just a quick note,CRAKE usually has his name along the edge of his coins. Have a great day! Edited July 22, 2006 by Ryder3 & Better Half Quote Link to comment
glennk721 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yet another outstanding coin from -CRAKE- Count me in !!! Quote Link to comment
+ByteBORG Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Loved the Monarch... This one looks just as good... Will they be trackable ??? E-Mail says NO... Here it says YES... Could ya please clarify ?? Thanx Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Will they be trackable ??? E-Mail says NO... Here it says YES... Could ya please clarify ?? Good point; I don't see a spot for a tracking number. Assuming it's on the reverse? And is that, in fact, two different color schema? Nice work, either way. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks for the great comments. I'll try to answer several questions: Trackable - YES these are Groundspeak trackable. The number goes between the .COM and KEEP. The Samples I talked about in the email are not trackable since they are samples. However the standard issue coins will be trackable with a custom icon. Color Schemes - There are 2 color schemes: warm and cool. Price: $7.90 each or 1 of each color for $15. Availability: Orders in early August, and ship late August. Name on coin: My name is always somewhere on the coins I make for myself. Usually along the edge. Coins I make for others depends on that individual's desires. Quote Link to comment
+ByteBORG Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks for the clarification crake, and as always, nice work !!! You'll see my order... Quote Link to comment

+UOTrackers Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Will there be one icon or two? ((or two in one? )) Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Will there be one icon or two? Excellent question. There will be 1 icon, and it'll probably be the warm colors since that is how the design has been represented over time. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Oh, and check this out: This is how I took the photos of the coins. Note how the light shines through the coin! Quote Link to comment

danoshimano Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 How many are you making? I am going to be in the wilderness the first week of August and am just wondering if there will be any left when I return. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 You will be able to order from the suncatcher webpage (per forum rules I can't post a link directly to the store, but you'll be able to get to it from the coin's page). As far as quantity goes, I will have sufficient coins on hand to satisfy all demand during the period that the coin is active. This period is no shorter than 1 month. I believe in stress-free ordering (no F5 hitting here!) Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Status update: A minor tweak is required, so orders are now expected to open week of Aug 7th with estimated shipping by Aug 28. Quote Link to comment
