+Happy Humphrey Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) This new coin is designed by Happy Humphrey, with help from Cari Buziak (of Aon Celtic Art). The inspiration was from the Dragon Cross, in the parish church of Kirk Michael (see MNH Photo and isle-of-man.com). More at IOM Geocoin Web Page. Ordering details are there, also activation codes. The coins are actually available now, but it will probably be a week or so before I start sending them out (I can't devote my whole time to geocaching activities, sadly). The web page allows you to register your order: check how many are left first (there are 320 in total). Orders are limited to a maximum of 10 per person, but if someone needs more (e.g. for a club) they can register for 10 and get in touch by e-mail. Below the ordering section is the button for obtaining activation codes. The web site doesn't take payments, so this has to be done separately (UK customers can pay by PayPal, cheque or postal order). After ordering, you should receive an e-mail with details of how to pay. If you don't get the e-mail, get in touch via my geocaching profile. I hope you like it!

+freespirit1402 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i missed this one, if anyone has a spare they want to sell please let me know ta x Quote
+Laughalot Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I missed this too - shame it looks a fab coin. Teaches me not to come in the forums daily! I am up for buying one if there are any people who want to sell. Cheers Laughalot Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 The first group of coins were despatched today: these were all the IOM, UK and Europe orders. There are still quite a few waiting for payment: if you don't receive anything in the next few days, send me an e-mail and I'll check. USA and the rest of the world will follow (once all the customs declarations have been filled in!). HH Quote

fraggle69 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 yey is here, what a great coin I wish I'd ordered more Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 As the coins were only posted yesterday afternoon, and I wasn't able to update the Activation Code database last night, you'll be unable to get the activation codes today. Sorry about that: I'll get them updated this evening, and then you should be able to use the link on the web page to get the activation codes. HH Quote
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I Got My coin today and its better than the photo. Quote
+Jimblonduk Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Received coins today and they are gawjuss Many thanks HH Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 All activation codes should now be available for despatched coins - see here on the Geocoin page for the link. Hopefully, Groundspeak have fixed the problem with the icon and the "generic" one which appears at the moment will soon be replaced with the proper IOM one... Quote
