+AtlantaGal Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 What is the approximate date of delivery? Quote Link to comment
Geocrew 44°85° Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) What is the approximate date of delivery? My guess would be about 3-4 weeks from now. (late November) It will depend on how fast we get the preorders. They will start being minted soon (minting will take 2 weeks). However, we'll need at least 100 preorders before we can pay for the coins and start delivery. As of today we have 43 preorders sold. Edited October 24, 2006 by Geocrew 44°85° Quote Link to comment

Geocrew 44°85° Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 $10 for one 1.5" coin? Ouch! It's a couple dollars more than you would normally pay but it is a fundraiser after all. We have to raise those funds somehow. Quote Link to comment

Geocrew 44°85° Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Payment has been made to get production started on these. However we still need about 40 more preorders before we can pay the balance and start delivery. These would be a great gift for any geocacher that is a scout...or a scout that is a geocacher.

+Band of Bradys Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Was hoping the mailman would bring my coin today, but the only thing he brought was our winter tax bill. I guess that was appropriate, since we're having a big winter storm here in sw michigan. Did get to stay home from work today, since the school I work for closed for a SNOW DAY! Perhaps tomorrow....

Geocrew 44°85° Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) We want to apologize to anyone that hasn't received their coin yet. We got about half of them mailed before we ran out of envelopes. Some of the crew will be getting together this weekend to package the rest. Most of the the Michigan orders didn't go out with the first batch because we didn't know who would b at the Turkey Trot Tree. They are all at the top of the list for this batch.

+0R0B0RUS Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I talked up your coin at a recent troop meeting hoping to spark some interest in geocaching. Last nite, interested parties asked to see the coin and I had to tell them it's a no show. It's been two weeks since you posted all packages have been sent out, so I'm guessing mine may have fallen between the cracks. Can someone look into this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
