markandlynn Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Plenty of piccy's here hope my contact has kept in touch with you Stuart. Im sure when you are at the ready to mint stage the bulk US orders should come in, they see lots of promises to make coins that never come off on the coin forums so are wary until a production run is underway. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/gallery.asp...2c-a0ed4546d910 Quote Link to comment
StuartP Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Dear Cachers, Firstly many thanks for the interest already expressed. It appears that after further surveying the expected repair bill is going to increase for the SVR to £2Million Details here: http://www.expressandstar.co.uk/2007/07/13...o-hit-%c2%a32m/ Hopefully we'll be able to do our little bit.

StuartP Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hi All, Well it's finally here. Artwork for the SVR Flood appeal geocoin can be seen at the Coins website http://www.geocache.org.uk/svr-geocoin/ Further details on how to order to follow Cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice looking coin, presumably the part where it says Sharkz will be replaced by tracking details? It will be a tracked coin won't it? Just as an aside, I recently had some coins "imprisoned" by the customs people, cost me almost as much as the coins were worth to free 'em! Quote Link to comment
StuartP Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice looking coin, presumably the part where it says Sharkz will be replaced by tracking details? It will be a tracked coin won't it? Yes its going to be a tracked coin, with the tracking number going where the Shark is on the rear side. Just as an aside, I recently had some coins "imprisoned" by the customs people, cost me almost as much as the coins were worth to free 'em! Don't you just love MHC&E or whatever they are calling themselves. Regards Stuart Quote Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 As we're fans of steam trains, we just had to order a couple of these coins. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Fin34 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) My wife is a big fan of steam trains and was disappointed that she could not get to ride on the Seven Valley Railway. We have just spent a week in a cottage in Parkend and got to travel on that steam train, but we were looking forward to a trip on the Seven Valley railway. Hope the Appeal goes well and we get to travel on it next time. To make up for it I braught her one silver one gold. By the way the forest of Dean is a great place for caches.

+Let's Look Over Thayer Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Every time we come over to the UK, we always take a trip on some historic railway or other. We haven't been on the Severn Valley but we hope to some day. Still, I was on the fence with respect to contributing (there are steam railways in this country that also need our money ). The design, though, sealed it. It came out really well. Order submitted... Quote Link to comment

StuartP Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Update time. Coins are ready to ship from the mint. Shipment will be made by ground courier so hopefully, no involvement with the Royal Mail. I'm away from e-mail until the 22nd of October, so you may experience a delay in response to any queries. Hopefully I'll be shipping coins before the end of October. Cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment

After a mix up by "The Worlds Local Bank" final payment for the coins has now been made, and they should be on their way to me from York (UK). Hopefully I'll be seeing them some time this week (W/C 13th Nov). Cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment
