+kc8hnz Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I just got the samples of the coin in today and it looks great! Everyone who pre-ordered I'll send invoices out when I get the ship date and its close enough. Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 That is gorgeous! Are you going to do any trading? Quote Link to comment
+kc8hnz Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm going to trade once they get in and I see how many are left, send me an e-mail and let me know what you have. Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 My daughter's Flat Stanley just visited Monterey Bay with Sonny & Sandy (PodCacher). That should make her appreciate the coin even more. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Once again, out of respect for the rest of us cachers in the area, it would be nice to refer to this as your personal coin and not "The Monterey Bay" coin. Quote Link to comment
+tomturtle Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Are there any left? I would like to get one if there are. Quote Link to comment
+nooks Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Once again, out of respect for the rest of us cachers in the area, it would be nice to refer to this as your personal coin and not "The Monterey Bay" coin. ...and besides, it's only half of the Monterey Bay on the map. Where is Santa Cruz? Quote Link to comment

Where is Santa Cruz? Is there a Monterey Bay geocoin? Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Does the GC.com tracking number replace the "490" in the example? Or does it go somewhere on the outer edge? Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Did you have an imitation hard enamel sample done? People should do this more often, because for some designs it looks SO much better. Generally, a design with a lot of raised metal lines like this one would look better with imitation hard enamel. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Is there a Monterey Bay geocoin? Yes, a local group (Central Coast GeoCachers) did a coin a while back: Quote Link to comment

The otter would have a nice smooth, soft look with a hard enamel finish. Quote Link to comment
+The Dream Cachers Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I agree, imitation hard enamel would look much nicer due to all the fine detail. I recall mention of epoxy coating in your pre-order topic. Is this sample epoxy coated? The Dream Cachers Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Is there a Monterey Bay geocoin? Yes, a local group (Central Coast GeoCachers) did a coin a while back: I thought so, but my memory is not what it used to be, and cannot always be trusted. I did a Monterey Bay search in one of the geocoin galleries and came up empty (now I know why...it is listed under CCGC). Thanks for confirming that sometimes my gray matter still works.

I recall mention of epoxy coating in your pre-order topic. Is this sample epoxy coated? The Dream Cachers Yes, they are going to have the epoxy. They didn't put it on the samples for some reason, nor were they the 4 mm thickness I asked for so I made sure to e-mail Sara at Oak Coins and get both of those things taken care of. Also, the tracking number goes where the samples have the plain number. I have presold all the coins I was going to sell, and am keeping 50 for trading, but I'm going to take trades after all the coins ship out to keep things organized. I should have a ship date soon as soon as I get the final invoice from Oak Coins tonight. Thanks to everyone who showed such great intrest in my coin! Quote Link to comment

Would just 'The Montery Geocoin' suit better, since there is no coin just for the penisula itself? I do really like the full title for the coin, though, I think it has a better ring to it and more representive of the area in which I cache. But, I am willing to consent to the popular opinion if it is believed to be unsuitable. Quote Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 If you just put "The kc8hnz Monterey Bay coin" it would be fine. All you need to do is put your handle in it, making it clear that it is a PERSONAL coin and not a area group coin. Quote Link to comment

Isn't soft enamel + epoxy end up being more expensive than imitation hard enamel? (Plus, I prefer imitation hard enamel over epoxy. ymmv) --Marky Quote Link to comment
