+dougsmiley Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 For the resident coin, theres two options to pick from. I certainly prefer the first. Regular Gold Gold with Nickel Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) For the trackable, I have 3 options. Again, I prefer the first one, but opinions are welcome. Regular Nickel Nickel with Gold Antique Silver I also had them make a copper. It really looks great, and could be substituted for either coin. It depends on if we want to stick with the traditional colors or not. Copper I will leave this open to discussion for a couple days and then begin the preorders. Preorders will last through September 30th, 2007. I'll have the sample coins at: Eat and Greet (Aug. 4) NEI-GEO Event (Aug. 11) Caching at Thirteen Five (Aug 12) Plainfield Meet and Greet (Aug 25) Hands over the Water (Aug 31) Fall Picnic (Sep 7&8th) Edited August 1, 2007 by dougsmiley Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) The reverse (flag) side appears to be the same photo in each view? PS I tried to reply to the thread on indiangeocaching but as usual, it won't let me post there and keeps logging me out every time I change pages. I think I give up trying to post there, it's just too frustrating. Edited August 2, 2007 by Neos2 Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 That would be because it is the same on each coin. I didn't feel a need to take all of those pictures. I am about tired of IndianaGeocachings problems as well. I'm allmost ready to just shut it down and forget about it. Quote Link to comment

I am about tired of IndianaGeocachings problems as well. I'm allmost ready to just shut it down and forget about it. I didn't realize that others were having trouble with indianageocaching forums--I thought it was just me! Are you saying the back side of the coin is gold on every coin--even the rim? How does that work--gold painted onto the edge? I really like the first coin, too, in the non-trackable. If the silver trackable one has a silver rim on the back side, I think I like that one too, from the pictures. Edited August 2, 2007 by Neos2 Quote Link to comment
+The Herd Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've been having the same loggin problems for months now. I just thought it was my computer. I like the first coin. I have to say, I'm not too crazy about the copper...but that's just me. Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 We were never really planning on using the copper anyway. Yes, the edges of the coin are all gold. I'm not sure how they made the nickel ones have a nickel rim on the front side, but they did it. They really look sharp that way. Quote Link to comment
+nursenine Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hey Doug...love the coin! Pre-order is soon? Awesome work! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) Pre order is within a couple days. As soon as everyone comments on which they like the best. Looks like we're going with the first in nickel and the first in gold. Nickel Trackable: $7 Gold Resident (Limit 5, Indiana Residents only): $5 S&H 1-4: $2.00 5-10: $3.00 11+: $5.00 Edited August 3, 2007 by dougsmiley Quote Link to comment

+dougsmiley Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Feel free to continue discussing the design. All other discussion should be moved to the new thread I am starting in the Geocoin forum or to the thread at indianageocaching.com. Quote Link to comment
+ClayC Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks for making the trip to Terre Haute for the event! Glad to got to see the coins and put in my preorder!! Quote Link to comment

Preorders will continue until September 31.

+dougsmiley Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) double post.. argh Edited November 6, 2007 by dougsmiley Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 The trackable coins arrived friday, the residents arrived today. All of the orders are packed and ready to ship, I am going to take them in to the post office tomorrow but i'm not sure how many they can handle at once. I may or may not need to space out the shipping over a few days. Either way, it's time to start watching your mailbox! Quote Link to comment
+dougsmiley Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Also, at this point I will consider trades on a case by case basis. I can only trade the resident coins to Indiana residents, however I will trade the trackables to anyone with a cool coin that I don't allready have. I'd much rather have a pile of 100 different coins than 100 of the same coin, . Quote Link to comment
+Buddaman Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I have my coins in hand today. Thank you Doug. the coins look great. Quote Link to comment
+jtbrady01 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Got mine in the mail today. They look great! Quote Link to comment
+OldLog Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Recieved mine also. Very nice work thanks much. Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Glad they are appearing in mailboxes. Hopefully some of them will work their way to the southern end of the state soon...sigh. Quote Link to comment
+Cpt.Blackbeard Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yep, got mine Friday Many thanks! Quote Link to comment

+dougsmiley Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Just 100 extra coins. I had to order at least 250 trackables. And I ordered 100 extra residents too, because they're cheap, and they're good for door prizes, give aways, trades, etc . Edited November 13, 2007 by dougsmiley Quote Link to comment
+Random Find Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yeah, ours arrived today. Thanks Quote Link to comment
