+Dr Webe Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) The Original Las Vegas Geocoin has been launched. The ORIGINAL LAS VEGAS Geocoin. This coin is a replica of the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign on the Las Vegas Strip. This shiny golden coin weighs about an ounce and is 2 inches long. It is trackable on Geocaching.com with a unique Las Vegas icon. Each coin is sequentially numbered and comes in a protective plastic folder. Get your Las Vegas “Bling-Bling” while they last. It can been seen at GeocachingNow when I can figure out how to place a picture here I will...or if anyone else can, thanks. edit: URL corrected by moderator Edited November 20, 2006 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote Link to comment

+nielsenc Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) I always thought this would have been of cool coin if you replaced WELCOME with GEOCOIN. Edited November 19, 2006 by nielsenc Quote Link to comment
+Team Donutdog Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I also would love to make a trade with someone for one of these - I have lots of trade coins, please see my profile and drop me an email. (Just got an extra Canine Cachers V3 I can trade too!) Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Dr Webe Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I always thought this would have been of cool coin if you replaced WELCOME with GEOCOIN. We had considered that but thought it would take away too much from the actual "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. We are very happy with the way this coin turned out. Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Cool coin but at $10.50 I think I will pass. Quote Link to comment
+Dr Webe Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 The Original Las Vegas Geocoins are quality coins made through HogWildStuff so you know the quality you are going to get. The pictures just don't due justice to this coin. Las Vegas Baby! bling bling Quote Link to comment
+nicolo Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Cool coin but at $10.50 I think I will pass. Ditto, it IS a nice-looking coin. If anyone's getting multiples and wants to trade for them, please visit my trading list below, thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Vegas Gamblers Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 We just could not pass this coin up at any cost. Email sent, ordered and paid. Quote Link to comment
+the.pud Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have tried ordering some coins...but keep getting this error message??? Quote Link to comment
+Vegas Gamblers Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 After I ordered I recieved an email with the following message: Thank you for your coin order. Payment has been received. There has been a processing glitch and your address has been lost. Please respond to this email with your shipping address and your coin will be promptly mailed. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you, DR Webe Be Well, Be Safe and Cache Happy! They may have a problem with the web site ordering page. Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I would like two but maybe I will wait till the glitches are fixedor you can send me an invoice for two.When will these coins be shipping? Quote Link to comment
+The Dream Cachers Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I ordered 2 coins last night, and noticed a little error note about my email address. I received a PP receipt, and a shipping notice, so I guess everything went through ok. Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Sent payment for 2 coins...look nice....no errors on the site but email hasnt come through yet other than the paypal receipt which was fine. Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+Rattlingcrew Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I ordered one at 12.88 including shipping, you might be a long time selling 1000 of those at that price. I like it so I bought it. The sales site was super slow, I was about to close the window when it finally popped up. I'll be looking forward to seeing the coin. Thanks, Glen Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The GS logo on the front kinda throws the front design out of wack, IMO. It would have been much cleaner without it. "Original" Las Vegas coin? Is there another LV coin coming out? Quote Link to comment
+FlyinV Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 WTG Doc! It looks GREAT! We've been waitin' on this one a while now. Order sent. Quote Link to comment
+Dr Webe Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 First of all thank you all for the ideas and suggestions about the coin. We worked on this for almost a year, coming up with all sorts of ideas and designs. What we settled on was one where we tried to include the famous sign and the geocaching theme. There are probably about 50 other variations we decided against for one reason or another. We had to finally pick one and go with it. And please accept my apologies for the problems on the site. There have been some problems with the shopping cart feature. We’ve spent all day working with the web administrator and it looks like the problems have been resolved. If you have a problems placing an order you may e-mail me at drwebe@geocachingnow.com Quote Link to comment
+Dr Webe Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I would like two but maybe I will wait till the glitches are fixedor you can send me an invoice for two.When will these coins be shipping? Orders are shipped the same received (or next day at latest.) The glitches are fixed. Quote Link to comment
+nolefan9399 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just ordered one. I also am bidding on one at that e place. I didn't even think of checking the forums first. Oh well I might have an extra for a trader down the road. Cool coin, can't wait to get it. NOLEFAN9399 Quote Link to comment
+the4defaus Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Received ours today and are very happy with it. "The pictures do not do the coin justice" is a very true statement! Very nice & unique coin. Great job Dr Webe! Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Very nice. Quote Link to comment
+NorthWes Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ordered one - plus some other 'necessary' stuff available on the ordering site too. Dr Webe - I've enjoyed hunting caches across Vegasland for the past couple of years on visits, and want to thank you for continuing to add to my caching enjoyment down your way. Viva Las Vegas, baby!

+Dr Webe Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Well folks we are still getting complaints about the sales web site. It is most frustrating to say the least. Tech support is of little help even after hours on the phone over the past few days. I would NEVER reccomend Costco's web hosting service to anyone. So, aother solution we've come up with if you can't get the GeocachingNow sales site to work, we have put them on eBay as well at the same price. Las Vegas Coin - Ebay link Or just send me an e-mail and I can invoice you through PayPal and get them out right away. E-mail me at drwebe@geocachingnow.com.
