+MommyFinder Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 WOW! Those are tooooo cute! Sent my reservation! Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 It is just for a reservation. Once I have the coins, I will send out Paypal invoices. If you are no longer interested or do not have the money at that time, you can chose not to accept the invoice, and the next person on the list will have the opportunity to buy those coins that you reserved.

+Crowesfeat30 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I just tried to reserve a set but I'm not sure if my reservation went thru. Did I miss out on another nice coin? (Darn work... ) After submitting my reservation a page came up thanking me for my reservation and that a confirmation e-mail would be sent to me. There was also a "Done" button on that page. When I clicked on the "Done" button a new page came up stating that my reservation could not be submitted at this time. Sooooo I don't know if my reservation went thru or not. Can someone please let me know if: 1. the coins are "sold" out or not and: 2. if my reservation went thru or not. Pretty coins! I hope I'm in! Thanks, CF30 Quote Link to comment

+wsgaskins Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I put in two reservations as well... the first one for myself, which didn't seem to go through -- said there was an error. And the 2nd one for someone else, but that one said it processed just fine. So it's not a specific browser or session thing. Just luck of timing. Anyway, I'll sit back and wait for the confirmation emails now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yep, I got an error page too Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Some people have been saying that the site is giving error messages...I am not computer savvy so I dont know why it is doing that. So if the site is giving you trouble or you are not sure if the order went through...send me an email at tadpole379@hotmail.com with your geocaching name: your real name: your email: paypal email: address: What coins you want to reserve: comments: I will send you a confirmation email that I got the order so you know it got through.

+tadpole379 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Only 2 more of the copper LEs left for reservations. I will keep an additional waiting list in case I have extras for sale or trade. Thanks to everyone who has already placed a reservation...I have gotten many positive comments.. Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Reservation form submitted, first time with an error, second time no complaint. Eagerly looking forward to either an invoice or a trade offer, whichever comes first! Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Update on reservations: The LE copper coins are all reserved and I have a waiting list for any extras There are about 10 more of the BN translucent, 10 more of the BN glow, and plenty left of the gold. It seems that the BN versions are the most popular, so if there is enough interest and I have enough people who want to reserve these coins, I may order more. The shiny copper is the LE version, and only 25 will be minted...they will NOT be reordered. ** The gold coins came out beautiful..the pictures do not do them justice..you will not be disappointed with any of the finishes available.*** Thank you to everyone who has placed reservations so far...and for all of the positive comments. -tadpole379- Quote Link to comment
+zazth Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Just sent a second e-mail for more reserve coins. I guess that will give me a total of 1 LE 2 BN translucent 1 BN and 1 gold? Depending upon what you have left! Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Update!!! Sara from Oakcoins said that the coins can be expected to be completed around August 10th. Thank you to everyone who placed a reservation or traded with me. I will be sending out invoices once I receive the coins. Quote Link to comment

ATMouse Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I got to meet the Tadpole at the After Bash event....such a nice person...and got a little sig item that is in my display case even now. In front of her, shiny and wonderful, were the samples of her coin. Good golly, I can't wait for mine. Good job on these...and she is correct: the pics don't do them justice. Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Update!!! I got an e-mail today from Sara at Oakcoins that my tadpole379 coins are in transit to me and should arrive shortly. I am on vacation right now, but will be home on Monday August 13th, and I am crossing my fingers that my coins will be waiting for me. I have taken reservations and trade offers, and I will begin sending out paypal invoices to those on my reservation list and I will send out coins from trades that have been arranged once I get home from my vacation. ***I am not accepting any more reservations, all coins for sale have been reserved. If I have extra coins from unpaid invoices (or from me miscounting) I will post here with the metals and quantities that are left in case anyone missed the reservations.*** Thank you to everyone for your support, kind words, and interest in my first coin project!! -tadpole379 Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Samples are in!!! ...75 in Black Nickel with translucent enamel... I've never seen this look good. Translucent over black just looks yucky. I hope you got samples of it first and verified that it looks okay. I'm surprised the minter didn't suggest not to do that, considering how bad it usually looks. If you already got a sample of the BN/translucent, could you post a picture as I'm curious how it turned out. --Marky Quote Link to comment

The black doesn't seem to be showing through the translucents maybe there's a layer of something else? I think I can imagine how a coin might look bad; but I think this one looks pretty good Quote Link to comment
