+Midnight Ramblers Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Received mine and it is gorgeous. I am not sure I want to set it off travelling though. I think I have just talked myself into ordering another one :-) Edit: insert a space Edited January 30, 2008 by Midnight Ramblers Quote Link to comment

+ClareLouise Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ah, saw the link, clicked through and bought a couple- if you have any control over entry length- worth noting it wouldn't let me enter my email address as it was too long- had to use a backup one, which I prefer not to do with caching stuff, as it's less reliable!

+LollyBob Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just ordered 2 after spending the weekend around the Severn Valley. Its fab! Next time we go down we will be hopping aboard....I cant wait! Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 There are still coins available to order, so nows you chance to help out in reducing the shortfall and get the SVR back on track. Oh Stuart, that WAS an accident. RIGHT??? Quote Link to comment
+third-degree-witch Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Looks a very detailed coin,not seen one as yet in the 'flesh' Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 A quick message from Stuart. His apologies for any delays sending the orders out this week. He is currently a tad busy but hopes to get everything back on track by the end of the week. Congratulations to him and his good lady on the the latest addition to the family Quote Link to comment
+Geo.Kitten Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I got one too and its really nice Quote Link to comment
+CathyAB Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 My dad used to be a fireman and then a driver on steam trains, so I just had to get one (well actually two) of these lovely coins. As I was activating them earlier, I wondered if there were any left, so I checked with Stuart. There are only 5 gold coins left (and a few more silver ones) so if anybody has forgotten to order theirs, it might be a good idea to get your order in quick. http://www.geocache.org.uk/svr-geocoin/ind...p?id=coin-price Thanks for the coins and good luck with the appeal.

The Birches Head Hunters Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 These coins are really beautiful - congratulations to the designer. A good cause.... Quote Link to comment
StuartP Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Update time: Well all gold coins are now sold. I've still got stock of silver coins. I'm about to make arrangements with the SVR regarding payment of the raised funds, and providing them with 2 coins in a presentation case with some details about what they are.
