+pirate_matt Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) Now that we have come down from the excitement of having our first coin made, we decided it was time for the second. the coin will be 1.5" (38.1mm) coins and 3.0mm thick they will be trackable with own icon (details to follow!) they will be 2D initation hard enamel. they will come in gold, silver and copper! the txt on the back reads 'Say it's time for Geocaching' We have just sent the designs off for a quote so will provide more details when available but i expect they will sell for a similar price to the Casino geocoins (£5 plus shipping) we will add more info as we get it and start reserving and selling asap so it will be worth keeping an eye on this topic if you want one/some! for now however I just thought I would show you the design to see what do you think!! edited to add a bigger picture!!

+S&G.Davison Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 As long as it's a few weeks away - me too Sue Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Definitely would like a trio of coins. Nice job on the design. Quote
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Put us down for some also! Just LOVE the colors! Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for all the interest and comments about these coins. I can't take credit for the design (well I could but it would be wrong ). My brother (fiffnruss) designs the coins and I sell them with a bit of help from the rest of the family to get them all posted etc. It worked well with the casino coins and hopefully will again with this little stunner! forgot to say in the first post but we will again be having 250 made and selling 200, the rest will be kept, traded, sent out to travel or given away.

+The Klever Boys Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 We'll be in for a couple of those Matt! Quote
+wsgaskins Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Those look nice! I'm waiting patiently for the reservations to officially open, now, so that I can put in my request. Quote
+Marky Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Drats, there goes another of my coin ideas. Maybe mine will be different enough. And mine was going to be called Time to Geocache. --Marky Quote
+Rubiconlwb Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Pending cost (I don't know what 5# is in dollars) and photos, I would be interested in a Copper. I'll be following the thread. Artwork look great! Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 Pending cost (I don't know what 5# is in dollars) and photos, I would be interested in a Copper. I'll be following the thread. Artwork look great! I think £5 is around $9 something! Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 update Here is a pic of the icon for this coin: We also have the quotes through and i can confirm that they will be £5 plus shipping. I will be starting orders shortly. Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Another update! We have just about confirmed the design now and so it should only be a few weeks before we have the coins in hand. with this in mind i am now taking orders. if you would like one/some of these coins please email/pm me with the following info: geocaching nick real name shipping address number of coins you want and which metals (gold, silver, copper) paypal email address I will then send you an invoice. P.s. is there any chance one of the mods could change the subtitle of this thread to: 'taking orders'. thanks Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 I am now taking orders for this coin! please see my last thread for info and reply to that one, not this one!! the aim of this thread is to ask the mods to merge this with with the last thread or change the subtitle or what ever wizardry they get up to so that the subtitle reads 'now taking orders' thanks guys p.s. i apologise and hang my head in shame if i have gone about tis the wrong way!! Quote
+Rubiconlwb Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 PM sent, am very anxious to see photos, I need photos to know how much I really like the coin! Quote
+Hula Bum Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Best way to do that is to email them to change the title and just keep going on that thread, not start a new one to merge. Too late now (but for future reference) Quote
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 The correct way to have a thread title changed is to email or PM us, not to open a new thread. Thanks. Quote
+fairyhoney Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 The correct way to have a thread title changed is to email or PM us, not to open a new thread. Thanks. P.S. I Really like your new FSM avatar!!! Quote
+pirate_matt Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks for all the orders so far, I have been a bit busy but invoices will be on there way shortly!

+pirate_matt Posted April 28, 2007 Author Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) What happened to the apostrophe in "it's"? Well spotted!!! I only noticed after we had confiemed the design and they were sent to be minted! this is despite several people checking them and me being a qualified proofreader!! edited to say: I think it has gone geocaching! Edited April 28, 2007 by pirate_matt Quote
+pirate_matt Posted May 13, 2007 Author Posted May 13, 2007 We have sent out a load of these coins and heard back from a few people. I am just checking everyones coins have arrived and what people think of them! We still have some of each metal left for people who missed them! Quote
