+tom4props Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ordered two. 1 x gold / matte black in acrylic coin box 1 x matte gold / light blue glow-in-the-dark epoxy Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I like them, just one question: How can you get your own prefix (ER) with only 300 coins produced (I thought there was a minimum order higher than that necessary)? Are you planning to make more in that same design? Quote Link to comment
+Astartus Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ordered two, too. 1x Nickel matte / red translucent 1x Black Nickel / white-yellow glow I like them alot (and the icon is neat, too) Quote Link to comment
+ernies Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 See Groundspeak Geocoin Policy here: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=116641 Custom Code Series:1. Following the first order of 1,000 codes for a custom prefix series, future orders for the same custom prefix with a new icon only require a 250 code minimum. i.e. once you are over 1000, smaller quantities from 250 are possible.

+Crowesfeat30 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ordered two. Nice! I will be out of town until Tuesday (March 27) next week. I will not be able to make payment until then if invoices are not sent out tonight. I hope this is ok. CF30 Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Wow! I was just working on a coin design with the Labyrinth! Well, I guess yours beat me to the production punch..... so I ordered as many as I could of your coin.... Kudos on a great design! Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just placed order! Quote Link to comment
+DezertMedic Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Great idea for a coin! Ordered 2! One will be a great addition to my new geocoin collection and the other will probably find a home over here. Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Coins ordered - almost twice !! as the ISP DNS broke just as I hit return, so had to switch to our backup to repeat. Sue Quote Link to comment

I was probably 4-5 weeks away from having something ready to show to the world. I had only prelim concepts so far, nothing polished. Quote Link to comment

ingwer.ch Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 What about the Icon (16 x 16 px)? Quote Link to comment
+stickerooni Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I just ordered six of the nickel coins. Wish I had been early enough to get one of each of the others. I'm fascinated by labrynths. Thanks for the coin. Quote Link to comment
+ernies Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 yes, there is a 16 x 16 px icon (different from 32 x 32 px): Quote Link to comment
+charles.vane Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 3 of 4 designs are already sold-out... ...when the coins arrive, you can still buy some at geocoins.ch Quote Link to comment
+larry739 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hmmm I paid for some of these back on March 25. Have they shipped yet? Quote Link to comment
+ernies Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) dear larry and everyone who ordered. i truely appologize for another delay that happened in the process of creating this geocoin. the manufacturing issue is finally solved now and i am happy with the result (it took about two months (and two companies) to solve this and it was driving me nuts). i was promised to receive the coins by may 12th and shipping will then start immediately. so the final release date is delayed about 2 weeks compared to what is mentioned above ("end of april"). thank you for your patience (i unintentionally forced you into), ernie Edited April 22, 2007 by ernies Quote Link to comment
