+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 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
+S&G.Davison Posted March 4, 2007 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
+Team Falling Numerals Posted March 4, 2007 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
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 Would you please contact me to advise of cost and freight of 3 coins to Australia? I'll check and get in touch later. HH Quote
+wsgaskins Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Ordered some for me and some for my british friend! Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Placed an order 194 remain Edited March 4, 2007 by AtlantaGal Quote
+GeoSmurfz Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Odered some of these coins they look great. 188 Remain Quote
+fehrgo Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Another Australian who'd love to get in on this for 2 coins please. edit: order placed through the US form as available numbers are dropping, you can get back to me with the actual shipping please. Thanks! Edited March 4, 2007 by fehrgo Quote
+S&G.Davison Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 my resolved failed - 2 ordered. Now down to 109 Quote
+Sandtracker Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I had to order a few of this beautiful coin. Loved the counter on the site...down to 100 coins left, they won't last long Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 Author 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.

+MommyFinder Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Beautiful coin! Order placed. Only 63 left! Quote
+rasj & Stacey Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Ordered 2, 55 left. Edited March 4, 2007 by rasj Quote
Ferreter5 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Ordered up a pair of these spiffy coins. Site said 40 remaining at that time. Quote
+Chooch72 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Ordered 2 so there are 35 remaining.... Thanx for the opportunity... Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 Now all allocated - sorry to those who saw this too late. Thanks to all who ordered: I'll try and get them despatched in the next week or so. HH Quote
+islander1988 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Just saw the thread and tried to order, but all gone! Wow, that was fast. Quote
+tom4props Posted March 4, 2007 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! Tom Quote
+tom4props Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I'm looking for three if anybody wants to trade. Quote
+Bunya Posted March 4, 2007 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
+chancerider Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Beautiful coin... would have placed an order but apparently I missed out also. Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 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 . . . You'll just have to trade for some then you grumpy possum So who's trading then?? I've got some lovely coins..... Anyone?? Anyone?? Quote
Ferreter5 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I'll have an extra one of these coins for trading if anyone is looking for a trade. You can see my trading list at: http://www.thewildhunt.com/thegreen/geocaching/ Cheers! Ferreter5 Quote
+Droo Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I hope you like it! HH I guess that's a resounding YES. 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
+fairyhoney Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Oh man, sold out and didn't even get a chance since something chewed our Internet cable outside!! Quote
+storm180 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Total bummer these were sold out. Anyone have any extras? PM me. Quote
+whitebear Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Wow I missed out too ...I would love to trade for one ,lots of good trades in my list below. Quote
Not So Lost Puppies Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I also missed out and would like to trade. Quote
+freespirit1402 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i dont trade but if anyone has a spare they would be willing to sell can you let me know - may end up having to eplace for it but would rather not pay those prices if someone can work something out with me Quote
+J10fly Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) I should have an extra, may be willing to trade it for one of the Geo tikis like mojo's hoard or bikki bikki. Jayman11 TRADE MADE! Thanks! Edited March 7, 2007 by jho135 Quote

+CachingCoins Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 That was soooooo fast! I can't be on the forums 24hrs a day. I don't have much to trade unless you didn't get one of my personals, or I'd buy, preferably not on eBay. Quote
+Filter X Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 WOW! Can't believe they are sold out! Gonna have to look on ebay I guess - It's worth it for this coin! FX. Quote
Tucats Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 WOW! Can't believe they are sold out! Gonna have to look on ebay I guess - It's worth it for this coin! FX. FilterX, if you find two let me know. I would like to have one of these also. Maybe we can be added to the reserve list for those who don't pay up. Quote
