+CachingCoins Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'll buy a handful! AG's red handed coin was the first I ever found in the wild & it was the cause of my addiction!! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'll buy a handful! AG's red handed coin was the first I ever found in the wild & it was the cause of my addiction!! It's always my fault Quote Link to comment
+hybridgeek Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd be in for a few of these. The design looks great! Quote Link to comment
+Mauison Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 LFD don't know how much extra it would cost but it might be neat to make the micro just the red hand and have the writing/tracking number on the back. Just a thought... bbf That's a really good idea. I can't re-use the dies as the size has changed, so I can make changes like this -- I want them to look like their "big brother" and this would meet that criteria. Left-handed would likely incur another die fee -- so I don't know. My goal is nice, nice, nice and cheap, cheap, cheap. If you do the hand cutout design, you could always make one side the right hand and the other side the left hand. And no additional die fee to make a left handed version. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Another great idea! That's the best thing about forums -- they really help with details. In fact, the little ring on the top of my Geobone to attach Travel Bugs never would have happened without the forums. Thanks! Looks like the interest is here -- so when I get the quote I will post.

Not So Lost Puppies Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I would certainly be in for some of them. Quote Link to comment
+flyingfisher Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well.....I have no idea why I am doing this, but I think I am going to see if there is some interest in ..... The Little Red-Handed Coin. It will be exactly like the first Red-Handed Coin we did back last fall, but will be teeny, tiny to fit into Micros (which are not my favourite caches, but hey....there are a lot of them). I am thinking about the size of a penny. Let's assume that they would be a MAX of $4 to $5 each. Any interest? (I'll also make sure the numbers are nice and easy to read like on the Red-Handed coin - so the design may change slightly to accomondate) I'm definitely interested! Especially with easy to read numbers!! Love your coin! I'd take 3-5. Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Oooh, and Canadian coin. Count me in for a few. Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Put me down a for 5 r Now to go back to chewing on my bone.....MMMmmm Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 might be able to get them really cheap. when Marky and his lady made the 2006 ca micros they were able to sell 10 packs for $35 making them only $3.50/ea of course in 10 packs only. and that included tracking. i'm definitely in for some. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well, I'll sell them at cost -- but postage is postage. So it may be more economical to order a few, but if someone really wants just one they can. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Okay folks! Here's the quote! Specs: 19mm (2mm thick), polished finish, 2 soft enamel colors $435.00 for 500 coins $330.00 for laser etch colored 6 characters $76.00 for 2-D round die both sides $750.00 for tracking numbers $150.00 for custom icon $95.00 for shipping _______________ $1836.00 for 500 coins ($3.67 per coin) Price for 1000 coins: $3280.00 ($3.28 per coin) That's a pretty cool price for a trackable item if I say so myself! In fact, it is irronically less expensive than buying a Travel Bug tag! I should have had these made and jusst glued them to the "Feeps" I released! That stated, I have asked for the following: 1) Cost to make half "right" handed and half "Left" handed 2) Cost to attach activation code stickers to the coins 3) Cost to handle orders from US cachers (which would save postage considerably to US destinations where I expect the bulk of orders to originate) Even so -- it looks like this will be a very well priced coin for those seeking an inexpensive trackable iconed coin!

+summerandnana Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Okay folks! Here's the quote! _______________ $1836.00 for 500 coins ($3.67 per coin) Price for 1000 coins: $3280.00 ($3.28 per coin) I sure hope this goes forward, as I stated, I love micros and will order a bunch. Cheaper than travel tags and much cooler. Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Specs: 19mm Wow, that's tiny! Will it be legible? Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Specs: 19mm Wow, that's tiny! Will it be legible? haha! Same question I also asked. If not, we'll just cut the text and have the red-hand on one side and the Tracking number on the other. I've never seem a Micro coin other than the California one, but I really trust the company quoting me on this (Coins and Pins). In fact -- I have used both Coins and Pins (Geobone, Red-Handed) and Oakcoins (secret) and both have really been very customer friendly and done great work. We are lucky at the level to which they have embrased and understand our hobby. With the last Red-Handed coin, I had to "assemble" all the parts. Buy the tracking from Groundspeak, coins from Coins and Pins, and Oakcoins offered to handle and activation codes (how's THAT for cool!). Now, we can one-stop shopping. I like these companies so much I have to have twice as many coin projects so that I can spread the work between them! Edited August 17, 2006 by Lemon Fresh Dog Quote Link to comment
+freespirit1402 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 definately in for 5 lefties Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Only thing you *might* want to think about is to make them 2.5mm thick. It will add a little more weight to them and make the final product nicer. And you can get the text on them, just make it raised metal rather than inking it like on the last coin. Go for the 1000 and sell them in 10 packs. You won't have any trouble selling them if they're priced reasonable like the CA micros were. Quote Link to comment
+oldnavy59 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I think Im in for 5 at that price or 10 if thats the way he goes Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Go for the 1000 and sell them in 10 packs. You won't have any trouble selling them if they're priced reasonable like the CA micros were. We had no problem selling 1500 of the Calif Micro poppies, and selling them in 10 packs does two things: 1) less packages to mail. 2) People will be more likely to put them out as travellers if they have 10. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Looks like you can pretty-much be guaranteed of selling out a kilo of them, and if you offer both "sides", you might get some folks (us, for example,) who'll buy some of each. In fact, I'd probably give my parents (one lefty, one righty) one each as Christmas presents They're getting up there in years, but they both still go out for a cache now and then At the prices you're thinking of, they'll probably fly off the shelf. BTW: don't be afraid to round up the price by a few pennies, to even if off. No one will complain if you pocket a few cents a coin Quote Link to comment
+JMCz Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I would be interested in a dozen. Quote Link to comment
+hybridgeek Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I would definitely go for at least 3 of these, if not more! Quote Link to comment

+onesearching2find Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'll take 10 please. Quote Link to comment
+NorthWes Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ten, please! Nifty idea - I FTF'd a micro today where one of these would've been fun to leave behind... The only problem I have with micros is when I can't find 'em! Another great idea from those Upper North American folks... Quote Link to comment
+Team chelmo Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) At that price count me in for 10 It appears the 10 pack is going to be a popular option, 5 left and 5 right sounds great. I don't think the price between a pack of ten or buying ten individual coins would be an issue, just more convienent. We are looking forward to these coins going on sale, can't wait but guess we will have to wait a little longer Edited August 19, 2006 by Team chelmo Quote Link to comment
+~tasia~ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 At that price count me in for 10 Yup, I'm in for 10 or more too! Quote Link to comment

+Cashe Crusaders Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 If you go with 10 packs are thinking 5 left and 5 right?? Doesn't matter as we like both. We'd be in for 5 or 10 whichever way you go. Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 If you go with 10 packs are thinking 5 left and 5 right?? ... DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Quote Link to comment
+freespirit1402 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 absolutely - 10 pack of half and half! Quote Link to comment

+Team Muppet Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 We would like to get 5 of each. Left and Right for a total of ten coins! Wow... this is so exciting. Quote Link to comment
+The Dream Cachers Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 We'd like a 10 pack! 5 left and 5 right would be great! Quote Link to comment
+Rubiconlwb Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Darn it, don't you people know I'm trying to cut back and then along comes a very affordable coin that I really do like. I'm in for 6 (3 righties and 3 lefties), maybe the enthusiasm for this coin will encourage others to produce coins for a reasonable price. I getting very tired of coins coming out where one has to pay $12 - $16 after shipping for a single coin. Way to go! Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 if its a l & r put up my ante to a ten pack Quote Link to comment

+nicolo Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'd probably be in for some. I'm more and more into micro-coins as they can go into practically any container type. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 haha! Not ready yet. I probably need to confirm the pricing etc, get a plan in place. It may be a few weeks before I "start" this project. It certainly appears the interest is there - so hopefully I can find the time on this soon. Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We would be in for at least 5 maybe 10 Quote Link to comment
+mikeylou Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'd definately like some. A half and half 10 pack would definately get my $$. Quote Link to comment
+oldnavy59 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 anything new on this?? Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm just trying to figure out when I will have time to do this project. It looks as if I am going to have double the contracts this fall that I thought I would! (good for me, bad for coin projects ) I now know that the interst is in place, so when I can I will get this going. Quote Link to comment
+Jake's Goldilocks Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 We'd be in for some for sure...10 to 20 between ourselves a couple of others. Quote Link to comment

+islander1988 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 How's the busy fall going LMD? Just curious whether you've had any time for this little project lately. I don't want to miss out when the time comes. Quote Link to comment
QuigleyJones Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) I would be interested. And is the quote price in CND or USD? Edited October 23, 2006 by QuigleyJones Quote Link to comment
+nooks Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I would take a 10 pack, if there are any left. Elizabeth "nook" Ps Hi quigs, almost ready to release my Miscreant Roberts of the Royaliste Tall ship coin. Quote Link to comment
