QuigleyJones Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Yes my 2007 version Geocoins have sailed in. These are currently being sold through landsharks.ca If you would like to have one I would act quickly because they are over half sold out with only Black-Nickel still available. I wont be doing any of the selling (learned my lession last year with mailing hundreds of the "Coveted TallShip" Geocoins ). Individual hi-res coin pictures are available from landsharks here. "The obverse shows a Grand Banks Schooner (well ok the Bluenose ll ) on a Starboard tack with a maple leaf on the Main. I picked this for my geocoin because I'm a tallship sailor with my best sailing experience on a Grand Banks Schooner, and the ship and leaf are both Canadian (like me). On the reverse is my geocaching name, year, tracking number and Geocaching symbol." The changes from 2006 are obviosly the year and the sails from Ocean Blue to Canvas White. The dies are to be retired and unfortunaly for any hopefulls, there will be no 2008 version. The coins have the same specs as 2006 50mm (2") long 3.5mm thick Obverse in 3D +2 colours (ship) Reverse in 2D +5 colours (flags) Geocaching.com trackable Unique Icon: Theres a total of 300 minted 150 Black Nickel, Glow-in-Dark 60 Satin Gold 50 Antique Copper 40 Satin Silver Edited June 9, 2007 by QuigleyJones Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Glad I stumbled upon these over at Landsharkz earlier this morning before the LEs sold out. Love 'em Edited June 9, 2007 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) Just out of curiosity, landsharkz posted that there are only 30 Silver coins and all are being sold through them. Which number is correct 30 or 40? Thanks. BTW these are very nice looking coins, too bad I missed them. Edited June 9, 2007 by OshnDoc Quote Link to comment

The mintages I posted are correct (though I seem to think the order may have been for 40 Antique Copper & 50 Satin Silver )And OshnDoc theres still the Glow-in-dark black nickel available so you haven't missed it totally. Also landsharkz are having a shipping sale (which I think they'll post about momentarily). Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 As always, we've held back a couple of coins in case some shipments don't reach the intended recipients or we've miscounted somewhere. If we have any left over in a month or so, we'll post a note here. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 We've had e-mails from a few folk on our newsletter list asking if they are still on it because they think that they didn't receive a newsletter about this coin. QJ suggested that Canadians get the first kick so the idea was to post it on the BCGA forums, Vancouver Island forums, and Canada Forums first for 24 hours and then post it on the geocoin forums and put out a newsletter. They sold out before the newsletter got written . We had a marketing plan, but didn't really need it. I guess in hindsight we could have minted a higher quantity, but whoda thunked it would sell-out so fast! Arrrr! Quote Link to comment
QuigleyJones Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yes, I would have thought the LE's to sell out by the first/second day and the black nickel to last a little longer. And to think Landsharkz was pondering what to do if they didn't sell after a month Probably should have made 500. Quote Link to comment
+plumbrokeacres Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I was waiting for the newsletter to lat me know of when they would go on sale No Newsletter Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 It seems most orders have been received. If anyone hasn't got their coins yet, would you please let us know so we can put the small quantity that we've held back up for sale next week. Quote Link to comment
+Sunrayers Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) I sure hope you don't have any of the Gold XLE's left. Because I only received 1 of the 2 I ordered and paid for! I would have preferred a different finish of the QuigleyJones instead of the coin you substituted! Edited June 30, 2007 by Sunrayers Quote Link to comment

Sunrayers, we're sorry you weren't satisifed, but if this ever happens again, please send us a note immediately. This is the first we've heard of this and we'd like to make it right. Last night I had 9 QJ Black Nickel with glowing sails but we got a few PM's from folks in BC asking for them so now have 5 set aside for missing orders. Let me know if a QJ in BN would be a better substitution and you can sell or trade the other coin we sent you. Quote Link to comment
+Sunrayers Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'm not one to complain (that's why I have a wife). I figured that you were out and did the best you could with the substitution. I would be happy to send the coin back to you (I'll pay the shipping) for one of the B.N. Tallships! Thanks for the quick response Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I thought that reminting when totals are published was an instant trip to the geo-guillotine What would the cacher who bought 40 say if more were made? Only on LEs. Limiteds should never be reminted. Those are the published numbers that would be of concern to a collector or someone who traded for an LE. If the black nickel is a standard/regular edition, it should be able to be remade any time during 2007 if QJ wants more. Quote Link to comment

That doesn't seem to stop some. Probably the reason why I don't buy 40 anymore! Quote Link to comment
