+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks. I ordered some in a frenzy of patrionism. I'd love to see a full-sized Canadian benchmark with a little more detail. I am looking forward to these ones though! Quote Link to comment
+JLAM-D Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 We have purchased ours. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+thecyr Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 managed to get some last night during a gathering, they are nice looking and the size difference from what you normally see is a nice change. Quote Link to comment
+The Lost Geeks Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I didn't mention it but these are NOT a pre order. They are in stock and ready to ship now! Thanks Quote Link to comment
+nicolo Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks. I ordered some in a frenzy of patrionism. I'd love to see a full-sized Canadian benchmark with a little more detail. I am looking forward to these ones though! I had considered doing a Canadian benchmark last year but they are so plain and nothing as fancy dancy as the US benchmarks that I decided against it. A smaller Canadian benchmark, though, such as this one, is a good way to go. Quote Link to comment

+skisidedown Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I didn't mention it but these are NOT a pre order. They are in stock and ready to ship now! Thanks Also ordered a set - If they look half as nice in person as they do in the picture, they'll be WOW! SSD Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Picked mine up from Lost Geeks last night. Looking nice! I'll be keeping some and sending a few of out to travel. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Also ordered a set - If they look half as nice in person as they do in the picture, they'll be WOW! SSD Well, mine arrived yesterday and they look TWICE as nice in person. For such a simple, plain design its hard to imagine how nice they really are. Sort of like Shaker furniture i guess. Thanks guys Skisidedown Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The custom icon for the coin is almost done. Watch for it soon! Quote Link to comment
+Cashe Crusaders Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Picked up 2 at a caching event from the "Geeks". They are a unique coin as they are thicker in the middle then on the edges. First time we've seen this done. Hats off to the design team. Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The new icon is up! And here's a pic of all 3 metals. Quote Link to comment
