+saso792 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Received the coins and they are grrrreat!!!! Thanks for doing them right and not sending out the less than perfect coins!! Probably the best one yet! Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks for all of the great comments.... and I have some good news.... The majority of the 1st production is due tomorrow sans sleeves. I need to repack the coins and will ship them out throughout the week. Most people with open orders should be getting their coins soon! For those with unpaid reservations, I'm expecting those coins in 4 weeks. I will open orders once we get closer. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 A large shipment arrived and I'm sorting and packing now. A lot of the orders will ship over the next few days. Quote Link to comment
+manchanegra Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 A large shipment arrived and I'm sorting and packing now. A lot of the orders will ship over the next few days. Hi, I´m still waiting for my reservation. It´s the 2 Suncacher coins + Monarch + Navstar. Do you know when they will be ready for delivery? Also, i believe that i haven´t paid for them yet (and didn´t received any invoice) , but i can´t check right now. Can you confirm this? Regards Alberto Quote Link to comment
+BalkanSabranje Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 A large shipment arrived and I'm sorting and packing now. A lot of the orders will ship over the next few days. Still hoping that they will be here in time for the event.... Quote Link to comment

+allwayslooking_99 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 We got our set today, and all we can say is WOW. Quote Link to comment
gridlox Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Recieved my set today as well!! CRACK!! Another one "outta da park" for Crake! Awesome, just Awesome!! Chris, there is one thing for sure, when you make a coin, I can always be sure that I will be getting nothing less than an A-1 Top Choice quality coin. Keep up the good GREAT work!!

+hybridgeek Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I got my sets about a week ago, and I love them! They are lighter than I expected, but that's a flaw on my thinking, not remembering they don't have a solid core. They are just so beautiful! Once again, Crake exceeds my expectations! Well worth the wait. THANKS! -Hybridgeek Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I agree these ones are most awesome. Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Got mine last night... they are super. Very nicely done and worth the wait. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yeah the weight surprised me as well. Then it made sense given the amount of metal missing. Also the process had to be zinc-alloy injection to get the fine metal lattice and that's a lighter metal than brass. But that's ok, I've got a couple of heavy 2" coins coming up that'll make up for it. Or you can get the giant Sun Stone medallion which is 4" at 4mm Quote Link to comment
+CCDAWG Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 wow!!!!!!!! I just got my Suncatcher coins.For anyone that did not order these coins....SHAME ON YOU!!!! My favorite coin in my collection. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 And on that note, I'll take a moment to remind people that coins are still in production. You can get on the list at http://crakephoto.com/coins/suncatcher/reservation Quote Link to comment

+ByteBORG Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Chris, The pictures don't do the coin justice... Outstanding and well worth the wait. Keep up the good work. P. S. Can we use your Suncatcher pictures on the web page for our activated coin ? Or do you have an alternate that is public domain ? Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Thanks! You can use any of my coin photos for non-profit use. If you use it for resell, etc. please give me photo credit. Quote Link to comment

+Vegas Gamblers Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I received my coins today and I really don't think I can add to the above comments about how great these coins look. Anything I would say could not do these coins justice. All I can say is thanks to CRAKE. Quote Link to comment
+CachingCoins Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 WOW These are awesome! What a find they will be for cachers! First thing they'll do is hold it up to the light! I'd love to be a pesky mosquito & see the looks on their faces if they have never seen one of these before. Ya know, these are nice enough, I don't think you'll ever get tired of finding them in caches & holding them up to the light, over & over & over again! Quote Link to comment
+BalkanSabranje Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Given all the positive comments on how the coins look just make us more eager to get our hands on them... Chris, do you send out notifications to inform customers that the coins are on their way or is there no tracking system applicable? BS/2 Quote Link to comment
+big rick Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) The pictures just don't do the coin justice as everyone has said. They are truely outstanding and are well worth the wait. I thought you would never top your tracking time but I was wrong. Please keep up the good work and your zest for perfection. Edited October 2, 2006 by big rick Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Domestic folks get notified by USPS and paypal. International orders don't have an automated notification (but not a bad idea). Right now almost all orders have gone out and I emailed everyone last week who has NOT yet shipped to let them know of the delay. That said, if you email me your pyapal email address I can look up your specific order status. Quote Link to comment
+Damenace Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Wow, not much to say about these coins that already hasn't been said, well worth the wait. Thank you for the extra . Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 *sigh* A couple of dups escaped (I was afraid of this). If you get a duplicate tracking number just email me and I'll send you a replacement when they become available. Quote Link to comment

+The GeoGadgets Team Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Being a relatively newbie GeoCoin collector (but rapidly making up for lost time!), I saw a reference in this thread to "displaying" coins. I've seen the wooden display trays, but I'm more interested in something that will hold a large number of coins, and has some sort of protection for them, like a plastic covering? Do any of you have a suggestion for a binder, or some sort of carrying case to take them safely to Events?

Do any of you have a suggestion for a binder, or some sort of carrying case to take them safely to Events? There are several options (and a couple of older threads on them) but a good system seems to be baseball collector inserts for a 3 ring binder with foam or cardboard cut out to hold each coin. There may have to be some sort of velcro attachment to prevent coins from sliding out. Quote Link to comment
+Webfoot Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 OMG. I cannot believe how beautiful these coins are. Pictures cannot do them justice. You have to see them and hold them up to the light to see what magnificent coins they really are. Fantastic job. Quote Link to comment

Basically the foam around the coin is tight enough to not allow slippage inside the card holder. Works out great. More on topic, I got my 2 pair of suncatchers on last Saturday... and gave one away to geofriend. They're definately very light. :} Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Here's an update... the last few coins from the 1st order are almost ready. The coins for those who have unpaid reservations are in production as are Astrolabe. Once I get confirmation on ship dates I'll send out email to everyone with reservations with a link to the store where preorders can be placed. Quote Link to comment

+Team Falling Numerals Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 5 Suncatchers have made it to Far North Queensland! Despite everything that has been said on this forum and elsewhere I was still stunned at the beauty of these coins. Well done Crake, you have produced a magnificent piece of art.

+Lopesco Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hey Manchanegra!! You are not the only portuguese geocacher that want to put his hands on this coins!! Waiting for them... I've already pay them. Any idea when will they be shipped, or, how much time will take to arrive at this side of the ocean? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
+markp99 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I placed a Suncatcher as a FTF prize in a new cache I placed this weekend. Needless to say, the FTF-er was quite pleased. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Well here's the deal. A shipment of coins have been sitting in China for a few days now waiting for PVC sleeves and inserts. They were suppose to ship today but no dice. So hopefully they'll ship tomorrow. This puts them in my hands Wednesday and I intend to pack that night. This would fullfill all open orders from the 1st round. Production on the 2nd round has been going on for a few weeks now. Quote Link to comment
