+9Key Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My second personal geocoin is Available Here. Shaped like a bottle cap, this coin commemorates my first five years of geocaching as well as finding 2000 caches. The front is smooth-finish imitation hard enamel and the back is a silver and white glitter fill. The caffeine molecule is represented on the back, as that's what keeps me going most days. Note that the base metal is zinc alloy - not to save money necessarily but to make the coin lighter like a bottle cap. Sample coins are finished (as you can see) and I expect the balance of the order in Dallas in 3 weeks. Specifications: $7.95 USD Diameter: 1.5 inches Thickness: 3mm Polished Gold Geocaching.com trackable - generic icon 130 for sale, 155 total minted Buy a few here! Quote Link to comment

+wsgaskins Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I have taken these off sale for about an hour. Our cart wasn't charging shipping, so I'm working on fixing that. Sorry! Whew! At first I thought that maybe they had sold out already. I have a habit of clicking on new coin links directly from the new-topic notification email that I get. Quote Link to comment

+007BigD Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just ordered 2 of them! Nice one! Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks to everyone that ordered! I had the mint add an epoxy coating the caffeine side of the coin so that both sides will be smooth. This has added about week to the production time - FYI. There's still a few coins left if you're interested. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What is the status of this coin? Yeah, what she said Quote Link to comment
+creacher Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Any word on when this coin will be shipping? Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well, if I have my timelines right, the original delivery was expected May 11 + 3 weeks == June 1. Then the change to add epoxy finish to the back side added 1 week == June 8. So, any day now we can get our caffeine fix??? And that begs the question -- why did you finish coat the back side? Originally somewhere you said that the back was going to be soft enamel and the edge raised to make it feel more like an actual bottle cap. Why was this changed? Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 I expect to receive them any day now and I'll start shipping as soon as I receive them. Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I picked up these coins from Will on Saturday and did most of the packaging yesterday. I'm betting I'll get them all out today. I have to say that these coins turned out great. I love the back of the coin. I wasn't sure how the glitter would look, but it just looks amazing. Great job, Will! Quote Link to comment
+TeamEccs21 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Any interest in trading for our personal coin? Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I wanted to add that there are less than 20 left for sale. If you order it today before 3, I'll make sure to get it shipped today! Quote Link to comment
+TX Diva Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I traded for one Saturday at an event, and I'm really happy with the trade. This is a really nice-looking coin. I love the orange on the front; it's a great color. The glitter on the back creates a nice contrast. Thanks for the coin, Will! Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This coin is now sold out. For any trade requests, you can contact 9key! Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Cool. I just read that these have just been sent out. I was wondering, but like most things, if you go to the forums, you will find an answer. Can't wait to see this one. Quote Link to comment

+tom4props Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Got mine in the mail yesterday. Great looking coin too. The silver-white glitter and gold look absolutely gorgeous together but I would be little remiss if I didn't mention that the super fine detail of the caffeine molecule is almost lost in all the shininess. I checked it out with a magnifying glass and the detail of the caffeine molecule is absolutely exquisite! Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Can't activate my coin. www.trackabletreasures.com is down. I'll try again later. Quote Link to comment
