+007BigD Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Here's the specs: SIZE: 1 3/4" Thickness: 3mm Metal: I think its Zinc! Color:Shiny Zinc finish Trackable: Yes (with a Trvel Bug) Numbered: Yes Quantity: So far just one! Cost: about .28 + shp. All the hard work has finally paid off! I have been workin on this design for about 2 minutes and it it finally done! I designed it, minted it, and will be selling it through Cry Wolf coins. i will also be accepting trades! This is just a presale, only one is available now...The others will take a few minutes to get back from the mint! This coin also makes a great 5/8 washer- I decided I wanted a coin that was dual purpose, so after the long nights and countless days designing, creating and changing the coin- HERE IT IS!- enjoy! Please go easy- Shes my baby! 2 Quote

+007BigD Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 Are you going to do a run in stainless steel? I'll take 2 if you do...I'll even pay more since they'll be worth it . Again - Ill have to check with the mint!... So far Ive got Stainless steel, Brass requests- The mint is about 10 minutes away, and its the weekend, so there might be a line at the Hardware section! WOW i never thought it would have been so popular- The initial cost was for the first run- the 2nd run will be about .32 to make up for the fuel costs and my time and labor!- sorry! Get em while ya can ---THESE COINS WILL SELL OUT!...again Quote
+summerandnana Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I like the placement of the lettering but I might use Comic Sans font Quote
+007BigD Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 How about a micro in a similar design? Yep I will be doing micros as well- The overall size will be 3/4" and can accomodate a 1/4" bolt. These will not be available for some time now- Ive just been so busy with these that I am gonna take a break from the designs for a while. Quote
+007BigD Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 I like the placement of the lettering but I might use Comic Sans font Ill keep that in mind on the micros- Quote

They expect them to sell out as the demand for 5/8 washers went up with the latest "coin craze" that hardware stores across the US has just been hit with!- GO GET EM! Quote

+007BigD Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 The coins will be going off to the mint tomorrow The available metals will be Zinc coated- as pictured S.A.E. Hardened- (Brass looking...Kinda) I am sorry to say that "Hot dip Galvanized" is only avail. in 1/2" so will not be a metal choice Also Stainless steel will have to be preordered so will not be avail as is also only avail in 1/2" as well Cry wolf coins will be minting the available metals by Mon. or Tues. for anyone that may actually want one of these silly things, You may also get on the "Hope for a Stainless" Band wagon and if I hear of any available stainless steel- it will be included! Disclaimer: These NON Geocoins are NOT to be reproduced- after the 2nd run, the Dies will be retired so supply will be limited! Hope yall had a great April fools! Quote

speedhawk13hs Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 how much is the cost much i want to create one for a highschool club but how much would the thing cost. or wat is the average cost for a sorta nice one Quote
+007BigD Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 how much is the cost much i want to create one for a highschool club but how much would the thing cost. or wat is the average cost for a sorta nice one A sorta nice one would be the SAE Hardened with black or blue sharpie writing and the cost would be .32 + shp - But if you want a real geocoin made you gotta go to an actual maker and have one designed then minted- many factors are involved with the cost- Try www.geocoin-info.net (or google "geocoin") there is a list of retailers that can help you with a coin. Also there are less expensive routes such as pathtags and the new Geotags (that are trackable on GC.com) see the topic in this forum...there pretty cool! And if anyone really does actually want one of these silly little April fools "coins" PM me with an addy- I wouldnt want you to imbarass yourself by posting that you actually want one here! Thanks...its been fun! Quote

Oh and can you please reserve me #007, I think I can make a couple of bucks by on selling it to this guy I know Quote

Cause Im a Fraud! all my coins will be 001 to make everyone feel special! You can choose any of the 4 reasons I listed- whatever best fits the occasion in your book! Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I still haven't received my coins yet? Home Depot said they knew nothing about your coins? Are you sure it wasn't Lowes who has them? I may just cancel my order instead Quote

Oh and can you please reserve me #007, I think I can make a couple of bucks by on selling it to this guy I know Sorry mark- all presales were ordered yesterday! Fortunatley I only had one presale...and ill bet we all know who that was! ...Sorry- Maybe next year! The Metric equivelent is 16mm to 5/8" so no changes will be made to better accomodate the rest of the world living in the simpicity of the metric system...you got it easy enough As far as the #007 for your buddy-I will have to get with the mint and see what we can do, I think it will be fine. Dave at Cry Wolf coins has been an absolute pleasure to deal with on this coin! He is so easy to work with and the communication is EXCELLENT!....Let me ask............................He said fine!
