+paulandstacey Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi all, We're doing a pre-order of the South Eastern New Brunwick geocoin that we have designed. The coin will be trackable on gc.com with a unique icon. On the front, the spokes point to to various communities throughout the maritimes where caching is well represented. South Eastern New Brunswick encorporates communities such as Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe, Sackville and others. The back is representative of the Acadian flag, which can be seen throughout S.E. New Brunwick due to its rich Acadian history. Each coin costs 9.75 CAD plus shipping. Currently the only paymen option is to contact us through gc.com and make arragnements. The coin will be ready sometime in mid-late February for shipping. There are three editions of the coin, however all antique copper coins are sold out. There are antique gold and antique silver editions available in limited quantities. If there are any questions, please let me know. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment

danoshimano Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Email sent. Is the coin cut out around the spokes? Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 The coin does not have holes cut by the spokes. We thought about this, but decided it would affect the back of the coin too much. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks to everyone who has contaced us so far! There are still a limited number of antique gold and antique silver coins available to pre-order.

danoshimano Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 HI all, We are very close to being able to order the coins. If you have reserved any coins and have not yet made arrangements to pay, please do so as soon as possible. The sooner those payments are received, the sooner everyone will have their coins in hand! I emailed in mid-January for a set, but I don't recall receiving an invoice or an email. Am I on the list? Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Danoshimano - You ordered 1 gold and 1 silver and payment has been received. I have tried to send e-mails to people as soon as the payment has been received, but yours might have been missed. If you have any questions, please let us know! Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment

+slippery_1 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Although I am sure I paid for this, I think it would be prudent of me to ask you ...did I? Quote Link to comment

Nevermind then I dug them up in one of the many other threads about this coin. They look great! Just an example of when you should have one thread for each coin, and revive it when there are good things to report Quote Link to comment

+Icebreaker Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have to ask why this is named South Eastern New Brunswick? Charlottetown is in Prince Edward Island Sydney, Halifax & Yarmouth are in Nova Scotia Bathurst is Northern New Brunswick Fredericton is Central New Brunswick Saint John I'll give you but I concider it more South West as it's usually grouped with Saint Stephen and Saint Andrews. So Again why SENB??????????? Quote Link to comment
Sliver & Lucy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have to ask why this is named South Eastern New Brunswick?

So Again why SENB??????????? My guess by looking at the coin would be..... SENB is the" HUB" of Maritime geocaching and the other cities are just on there to represent the Maritimes .. ???? just my .02 cents Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Moncton (which is in SE NB) is often referred to as the "hub" of the Maritimes or the "hub city". Also, the spokes of the hub, all point (albeit roughly) to the maritime cities with the corresponding names. But we didn't want a moncton coin, as we live elsewhere in SE NB - so we went with a "regional" coin. The hub represents the region, the spokes represent the cache friendly areas accesssible (or relatively so) from here. In terms of centrality and access to the maritimes, we're fairly central. Not sure if this explains it or not Edited March 17, 2007 by paulandstacey Quote Link to comment
