+The Mighty Shark Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have just tried again. This time all it did was take me back to the order page ready to add my details again. I just hope it's not actually registering all these atteempts at trying to order them as I can see me ending up with loads at this rate Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I've just used the order page without any problems. Nice coin... looking forward to seeing what's on the other side Quote Link to comment

+Paul & Ros Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Will there be a limited number minted and if so how many ? Nice design BTW. Quote Link to comment
+macroderma Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 As a Cornish exile I am very impressed Order placed - I can't wait Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Will there be a limited number minted and if so how many ? Nice design BTW. Originally we felt that that we were unlikely to get orders for more than 250 coins... judging by the way things are going I don't feel thats going to be a problem at all... I need to confirm this with others but I feel a maximum number of coins will be 500. Maybe less... Is a limited edition coin of more value? More collectable? Steve Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Is a limited edition coin of more value? More collectable? Steve You betcha! Quote Link to comment

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Makes a suggestion to other people selling Geocoins....... Make sure your page throws an error message for 10 minutes on the first day! Then everyone who orders thereafter posts to say it's working perfectly now - and hey presto- You stay at the top of the Forum....!! Kewl Plan!! Quote Link to comment

In the meantime you can still place orders until Friday 24th...... at whcih point the order book will close... Many thanks to everyone and especially for all the positive comments...

Wow, more Dorset credentials than even I can muster in that sense! Although I have lived here most of my life, escaping for uni and the like ...

+Alibags Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have been lucky enough to see coughs in Cornwall, and also sitting on the nest in Ireland, and SQUILLIONS of them in Spain.

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well you learn something everyday..... The Hamoaze (IPA: [ˈhɒmøz] in Cornish) is an estuarine stretch of water at the point where the tidal River Tamar, the River Tavy, and the River Lynher enter Plymouth Sound. You can see The Hamoze from Mikes Geocache named Fred Mudd... a stunning view... But the question remains - which edge? Quote Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Which edge indeed! The eastern edge, Devonport, so by birth I'm a Devonian! To the unitiated, as far as I am aware the river marks the border between Devon & Cornwall. Quote Link to comment
+Al & Tracy Smith Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I must resist - but its a nice shiny coin - will power in short supply so order sent .

+Happy Humphrey Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I have been lucky enough to see coughs in Cornwall, and also sitting on the nest in Ireland, and SQUILLIONS of them in Spain.
