+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 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 (by PayPal for US customers). 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! HH Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Very nice - but I'm out of quota for this week - it's on my wish list so will keep it in mind. Sue Quote Link to comment
+Team Falling Numerals Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi I would be interested in ordering some of these coins but your site does not seem to cater for orders from Australia. Would you please contact me to advise of cost and freight of 3 coins to Australia? I am a great fan of Cari Buziac's work. Quote Link to comment

+Eltod Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Ordered 2 - reported 95 left Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) As numbers are dropping fast, to those who are holding back because they are outside Europe and the U.S. - please order using the "US Orders" page. Postage and costs will be the same, and I believe that you can pay from your PayPal account in US Dollars even if that isn't your own currency. If you've received an e-mail confirmation with an order number, your coins are reserved even if you haven't paid yet, so don't worry if you have to take some time setting up the payment. It will probably be a week before I start sending the coins out, so as long as you've paid by then you'll receive the coins at the same time as everyone else. Thanks for all the interest! The coins actually look better in the "flesh" than in the photos (it's difficult to get a really good shot of a geocoin), so I don't think that anyone is going to be disappointed with what they receive.

+islander1988 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Just saw the thread and tried to order, but all gone! Wow, that was fast. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I too just saw the thread and immediately attempted to buy some (I'd like to get three), unfortunately they are all sold out. Bummer ... they went quick. There was a second minting of the first Isle of Man geocoins; maybe there will be for this one too. hint hint I'd surely like to get at least two. Happy caching!

+Bunya Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 As numbers are dropping fast, to those who are holding back because they are outside Europe and the U.S. - please order using the "US Orders" page. Postage and costs will be the same, and I believe that you can pay from your PayPal account in US Dollars even if that isn't your own currency. First there is no way for Aussies to order, and then an option is given to us in the middle of the night our time. By the time I saw this, it was too late . . . Quote Link to comment
+chancerider Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Beautiful coin... would have placed an order but apparently I missed out also. Quote Link to comment

They sold out in 24 hours and I didn't even get a chance to order today since I was out chasing FTFs. Oh well. If anyone ordered too many please take pity and contact me about a trade or purchase. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
