50 years of satellite technology! Sputnik Geocoin!

[+Eric K]

This geocoin is from an idea conceived by Geocacher Zork V from New Zealand who currently has 575 finds!

 

This geocoin celebrates Octobers 50th anniversary of the Sputnik satellite, the first artificial satellite ever launched.

 

The other side of the coin celebrates the future of satellite technology with the Galileo satellite system!

That sure is shiny! Well, since Zork V came up with the idea I might have to get some.

[+Eric K]

I'll try to get up the first picture I took. It wa so shiny that my camera and my fingers showed up clear as day!

Love the coin but $7.95 Shipping is excessive even ebay sellers don't charge that much

Ooh... I hadn't noticed that before.

 

Hmmm.... wonder if I get them packed in "premium" mailers as well?

[+Eric K]

Please re-read the item description.

 

The $7.95 shipping charge is only for orders outside of the USA or Canada and that is for up to 5 coins per order.

 

Once again, that is ONLY for orders outside of the USA or Canada.

[+plumbrokeacres]

Thank you for the clarification. although I did re-read it and it says outside of US in big red letters $7.95 Shipping [] very nice coin my reservation is being submitted.

Thanks, I'll go in and correct that. I always forget to include Canada in those descriptions.

Prepayed for two.

Hmmm... This coin was concieved by a fellow New Zealander yet I see (or don't see) that New Zealand has slipped off the edge of yet another coin

[+cainrcc]

Nice looking coin sent my request for a few of them

[+wsgaskins]

Ok, so I see the small black letters that give the shipping price per coin. The huge red letters is what caught my attention, though.

 

Now that I re-read the whole thing again, I also see:

"Invoicing will begin approximately February early March"

 

Recycled any good web pages recently?

Hey, that's better than Ethiopia, by their calendar it just now turned to the year 2000!

 

Ordered up some of these nice looking coins, can't resist satellite themed coins.

It is a typo. It will be corrected.

Nvmd. Re-read the page. So is it $1.17 per coin or $1.17 flat rate?

I never received my email to send pre-payment. Email was never answered regarding this either???

Do you know when invoicing will be going out?

Thanks

[+slowdownracer]

I received a bill and paid it last week. You better check into it if you didn't get one yet.

Today is the day, 50 years since the first satillite in space.

 

Don't miss out on this fantastic geocoin.

 

Without Sputnik we may never have had Geocaching

(That thought gives me the "Hebee Gebees")

[+fairyhoney]

I am fairly sure that I have reserved a few of these coins and yet, I don't recall getting an invoice

[+fairyhoney]

WOW, 50 years today ! I suppose that some of the steady forumers MAY have been around then.

Yes, Thanks goodness for Sputnik!!! Besides, where would we be without TV And computers!??

Did you make a standard reservation or the pre-pay reservations? The invoices for the pre-paid reservations have all been sent out.

 

We were hoping to have the coins in by now, we hope to have them in late next week barring any unforeseen delays.

[+Eric K]

Update!

 

The coins are in stock. All of the pre-paid orders shipped out this morning.

 

The remaining invoices have been e-mailed and will be processed next week.

 

If you made a reservation and did not get an invoice please resubmit here, also if you did not get in on the initial reservations feel free to use the link below.

 

225 were made available for sale.

I'm really psyched to see this coin!

 

Thanks to a tip from a fellow geocacher in the "Coin in orbit" thread, we were able to see the International Space Station as it flew over eastern PA at 8:00PM yesterday, the 50th anniversary of Sputnik. WOW! Very cool, you must try it.

 

Has anybody made an ISS coin? Maybe somebody can take this idea and run with it.
