+AtlantaGal Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Oh I LIKE this one...hmm you don't have our personal coin yet do you! Yes, crake has a personal coin... and in a few different metals too. Quote Link to comment
+Rattlingcrew Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I would naturally, have to have two. Thanks for another cool design, Glen Quote Link to comment
+mytfine65&geogal Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 What would the reverse look like? Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 The reverse is actually a fully functional alidade that rotates! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 And how do I sign up for a couple of these??? I don't see any place on your site to place a reserve or preorder. (I'd also like to sign up for the Suncatcher coin if it's not too late...) Thank you, CF30 Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) I did away with the reservation system a while back and so now its just a simple pre-order/order system. I email my mailing list (as well as post here) when orders are open. There's no pressure on ordering as coins stay active and are in stock for a couple of months on average. Suncatcher is going on this month. Orders are not yet open, but that is scheduled to start this week. Astrolabe is arriving next month. I should have samples in a few weeks and about the time Suncatcher ships, orders for Astrolabe will open up with shipping about 3 weeks later. If you're not already on the mailing list you can join by following the link at the bottom of the Astrolabe Geocoin Webpage. Edited August 7, 2006 by crake Quote Link to comment
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 You can be SURE you will be getting an order from us! These are COOL!!!! A CRAKE coin, AND it rotates? How cool is that? LOL!! Make sure we get our e-mail! LOL!! Quote Link to comment

+chaosmanor Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 *hears her wallet crying and sobbing in the corner* please don't torture the poor thing, it's rocking itself backwards and forwards with its head in its hands... (the coin design looks absolutely stunning!) ROFLMAO!!! I think our PayPal account is looking for a place in that corner to sit and wail, too And I thought that crake's Tracking Time coin was a stunner! This one is amazing I almost am in dread of getting the e-mail notice on it: almost! Quote Link to comment
glennk721 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yet another fantastic coin from -crake-. Think I'm just going to direct deposit my checks to him, he can just send me whats left every month Glenn Quote Link to comment
Tup Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dang, I've been trying my best to stay out of hear, but the little voice keeps telling me "Crake has another astounding coin....go... look.... buy" Sheesh how can you not...lol oh one question.... does this coin come with an operation manual?

Well, if it was a fully functional Astrolabe then yeah, I'd have to include a user manual. Since the front is fixed its not nearly as hard Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Proofs are in and I don't like the spinner. So instead of trying to force the feature I'm going to get rid of it. I actually like the way this comes out - I think its better than Tracking Time Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 WOW! Another incredible design! I'll definitely be ordering! Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I guess I gotta have a couple too! Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm thinking of doing 50/50 antiqued silver and gold and offering a combo deal like Suncatcher. Quote Link to comment
Ferreter5 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'll be ordering up one of each. Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm thinking of doing 50/50 antiqued silver and gold and offering a combo deal like Suncatcher. How about brass? A lot of actual astrolabes, sextants, etc. were made out of brass. Not too many were made out of gold or silver. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well there is a bronze finish.... Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Oooooo, bronze sounds good. I'll definitely want a couple of bronze. Oh, and maybe a couple of antique silver, too! Decisions, decisions...... Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) Photos! Some tweaking of the dies are on order, but nothing major. Now taking reservations at http://crakephoto.com/coins/astrolabe Edited September 3, 2006 by crake Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Very nice! Reservation made. Quote Link to comment
Ferreter5 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Reserved one combo set. Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi Crake, I tried putting a reservation for a combo and an extra Bronze, but I kept getting an error message both times. If you see this, can you put them aside for me, please. Thanks. John Quote Link to comment

If you see this, can you put them aside for me, please. Thanks. What error message are you getting? Are you putting a zero in the extra silver box? No, just put in 1 combo and 1 extra Bronze. Do I have to put a 0 in the Silver? Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 No, just put in 1 combo and 1 extra Bronze. Do I have to put a 0 in the Silver? Yes, all three fields are required, otherwise the scripts get messed up. I guess I could fix that something Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Die change is underway to fix a minor text issue. I expect coins to be available around Oct 15 or so. Quote Link to comment
+darus67 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Nice looking coin. Too bad the spinny bit didn't work out. I was hoping that would work out and someone would use that technique to produce a working circular slide rule geocoin. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 OK - coming up on go time for orders. Astrolabe and the reopening of Suncatcher will probably occur about the same time in approx 2 weeks. Shipping in approx 4 weeks. Quote Link to comment
+crake Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Still waiting on samples from updated dies. For some reason they took a little while to fix the design. Should have them next week. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment
