+brdad Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) They will ship outside the U.S, but as the order page suggests, you will have to contact Sudonim for pricing. Edited August 5, 2007 by brdad Quote Link to comment

+TMOCM Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I echo the sentiments so far, great looking coin and a super price, had to order a few! Quote Link to comment
+Sudonim Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The last time I did this USPS had a 'global priority mail' for (I think) $5.00 for international envelope. I don't think they have it anymore, need to contact the local post office Monday to see if they have a flat rate solution. If not, I'll have to quote international orders by hand, give me a shout.

+Big JohnP Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Postage to Canada is usually around $1.93 for two coins in a bubble-pack mailer. Quote Link to comment

They still have it, tho the pricing is excessive. Your best bet is First Class International now. And it does vary based on destination and weight. If it's any help, Belgium - Australia and Luxemborg are the most expensive and Canada is less than US shipping believe it or not. Quote Link to comment

+9Key Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Good to see state orgs put out quality coins at a good price. I though Paul Bunyan was a Minnesota guy though? Quote Link to comment

+Sudonim Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) We don't have Babe in Bangor, but we do have a 35' Paul Bunyan statue in fiberglass right on Main Street in front of the Bangor Auditorium. At one point (I think around 1850) Bangor was considered the lumber capitol of the world and many thought it would be one of the big cities like New York and L.A. If you visited now, you'd see that didn't really pan out, but it's a nice place to live and cache. Edited August 6, 2007 by Sudonim Quote Link to comment

+TAT Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I remember correctly, the Saint Lawrence river was created by Paul dragging his axe because he was so tired from cutting all the wood in Maine and the Great Lakes were formed by his ox. Either way, better hurry and get your coin now while they are cheap!!! Quote Link to comment

+kayakerinme Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I placed an order for these way back...Have we seen the status of shipping? Sudonim got all these shipped between 9/20 & 9/22. He's just back from his honeymoon so sending an email to him should get your question answered directly. Quote Link to comment
