+aetoys Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Dragonfly 2007 Sometimes your the bug Geocoin Ok here is a sneak peek at our dragonfly 2007 geocoin. We have been working on this coin for a few month now and after going back and forth with the mint on art work we had Jamie at madhatter help get this design mint ready. With a few changes on the colors this coin will go to mint. There will be five coins with resin wings tinted in each of the four geocaching.com logo colors and an LE with all four colors. The LE will only be offered for preorder. The dragonfly body and lettering will be changed to colors that go with the wing color on each coin. The wings will be tinted resin allowing light to show through the coin. Presale on this coin will start this week. But you can reserve your coins by pollett4@yahoo.com and I will send invoices when presale starts. Presale starts as soon as I get final art from the mint and have ordered the samples. Some time this week. The coins 1 with yellow wings 1 with green wings 1 with blue wings 1 with orange wings and the LE with all four colors The LE only available in a five coin set. price of each coin will be $9.50each in the 5 coin set the price will be $9.00each coin = $45.00 We will only make enough LE coins to cover the orders no more ever! * Size: 2" (51mm) * Thickness: 3mm * Trackable: Yes, on Geocaching.com * Icon: See more HERE What do you think?

+Snowwolf75 Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) Please add my name to the "would like a trade" hat. :} (unless I can allocate enough $$$ to buy the set) Edited April 7, 2007 by Snowwolf75 Quote
+alimelacy Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Do you know how bright/solid the coloring will be? Will it be more pastel to match the coin? Or more like the geocaching logo? Quote
+Rubiconlwb Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 E-mailed for a single coin, would have loved to get the full set but the cost was just too high! Will have to make do with one. Coins looks very nice but hard to tell until samples show up. Quote

+aetoys Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Final art is in, updated the file on our server so it has changed the photo on this forum. Will order samples and start presale in the next couple of days. Thanks! Quote
+fehrgo Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 If the wings are resin, won't the colouration be reversed on one side of the LE? Nice coin BTW Quote
+aetoys Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 If the wings are resin, won't the colouration be reversed on one side of the LE? Nice coin BTW Yes the dragonfly on the back will be the reversed from the front. Quote
+aetoys Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Preorders now open... Click here for more information... Thanks! Quote
+GeoSmurfz Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Upped my order to 3 of them. 1 for me 1 for my wife and 1 maybe for trade or for a cache (don't know yet). Thanks for a chance to get a great looking coin. Quote
+baelrati Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 was about to order a set, but the $$ punishment for international shipments ($9.5) is far too high! OK, it costs a bit more, but this price increases the total cost over 20% compared to the price for US/Canada!!! Quote
+aetoys Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 was about to order a set, but the $$ punishment for international shipments ($9.5) is far too high! OK, it costs a bit more, but this price increases the total cost over 20% compared to the price for US/Canada!!! The shipping on International is figured based on past shippments of our coins. Paypals shopping cart will not let me break up the areas or do a address based shipping I have paid up to $14.00 to ship coin orders overseas in the past. Sorry! Quote
+aetoys Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Just a note: Preorders are going well. The mint told me they are pushing to get the samples by next week. As soon as I get them I will let preorders go a few more days with photos of the coin. I am getting samples in antique silver and antique gold. Should look great. If you watch our web sit we have just posted the next coin the THX4TC JEEP. The art on this coin looks great... Also we are almost sold out of all P-51 Mustangs on order and at this time are not planning a 2nd batch. Get them all here!! Thanks! Quote

But there is the option to use international 'flat rate' for $5.25 which even includes the enveloppe ... Quote
+aetoys Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) But there is the option to use international 'flat rate' for $5.25 which even includes the enveloppe ... I was not aware of this option. I have shipped many packages overseas and I print all labels from home and no one at our post office has told me about this option.. It could have save me $$ . I have now lowered the price on international orders and everyone who has all ready ordered will get money back when their order is shipped. Thanks! Edited April 12, 2007 by aetoys Quote
+dragonflys Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 order sent, that is one attractive coin Quote

+aetoys Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 The coin sale are going well and the mint said the samples should be here about the same time as the P-51 coins.... I can't wait... Quote
+Team JSAM Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I cant wait to see that LE held up to the sun! Quote
+aetoys Posted April 22, 2007 Author Posted April 22, 2007 Preorders will end the first part of next week... coin should start shipping the 1st or 2nd week of May.... You can still get in on the LE set... http://aetoys.com/Dragonfly/ Thanks! Quote
+aetoys Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 Just an update: The Dragonfly coins die had to be redone due to the vain in the wings where to small and had to be removed.. The coins are now on order and should be here around the 2nd or 3rd week of may.. I ordered a few extra of the LE so I can keep sales open a little longer. There is now a set number of LE's and will sale out soon. There is still time to get them here Thanks! Quote

+Rhaegar's Jewels Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Is there an update on these? I'm (im)patiently waiting! Quote
+aetoys Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 Is there an update on these? I'm (im)patiently waiting! The mint is taking longer than I would like on this coin and the THX4TC Jeep. But the samples look great. The Dragonfly coins should be here Mon. and all orders will ship within two days. Thanks! Quote
