Dr. Whoever Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Santa’s Christmas Window Geocoins From Castle Coins & Pins The Reservations are going FAST (3/4 of the coins have been reserved in less than 24 hours). At this time the Antique Nickel is UNAVAILABLE (All Reserved) and there are only approximately 20 Antique Gold and about 60 Deluxe Edition. Announcing our newest and one of our most beautiful geocoins: Santa’s Christmas Window Geocoin. Paula of geocoindesign.com designed this incredible “sun-catcher” geocoin from a concept suggested by a customer (Brock from Tulare, California). RESERVATIONS: (NO MONEY AT THIS TIME, PLEASE) In order to ensure you won’t miss out on these phenomenal coins you might consider reserving NOW. All you’ll need to do is email the information listed below to me NO LATER THAN (November 25). I will ship all reserved coins no later than December 10th to ensure arrival prior to Christmas. Price: $10 each (Antique Gold, Antique Nickel), $11.99 (2 Tone Deluxe Edition) Send to: canningcastle@charter.net INFORMATION NEEDED FOR RESERVATION: Your Name: Your Country: Paypal e-mail for billing: Contact e-mail (one you check often): # of coins you would like to reserve Antique Nickel Edition: Antique Gold Edition: Two Tone Gold/Nickel Deluxe Edition: Features of the coin: Santa, back dropped by the winter sky is the focal point of the “See Through” translucent center of our coin, as if peering through a winter window. The outer ring is solid with multiple levels of textures and metal work design all filled in with rich translucent and PMS enamels. The coins measure 2” (including the attachment), 1.75” diameter at the edge of the outer circle x 4mm thick. The outer ring depicts Santa’s sleigh with his reindeer leading him through the night, a winter home, holly and beautiful scroll work. MERRY CHRISTMAS 2007 from Castle Coins & Pins, Paula & Jim. Minting: We will be minting these in 3 finishes: Antique Gold (200), Antique Nickel (150) and a Two Tone Deluxe Edition Shiny Gold and Nickel (300). The Deluxe Edition will include additional enamels on the lettering and scroll work to highlight recessed areas. These are only for this holiday season (Only 1 minting will be done, no re-mints) so don’t miss this opportunity to own what I think is the premier Christmas themed geocoin available.

Dr. Whoever Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) There are still about 10 Antique Gold and 25 Deluxe available for reservation. Congrats to those who have reserved the AN. I guess it's the LE as there are only 150 of them. No re-mints on this one as there's only one Christmas in 2007. Thanks again.

+Mama Cache Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is the track at geocaching.com on the edge? I noticed it not on the coin anywhere and don't see it in the art. Quote Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It will be engraved along with the tracking numbers. We wanted some of these made as ornaments without the tracking info on them. No worries - this was planned when I designed the coin. Quote Link to comment

+The Navigatorz Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 My wife asked me to see if there are any Christmas coinaments out there for 2007 so I found this thread, but I may be too late. Are there any more left? I only want one, any metal. If so, would someone be willing to sell me one if you have an extra. I will pay for shipping. Quote Link to comment

+Steinwälzer Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Still waiting for mine... Usually Castle Coins travel very fast across the Atlantic, but not this time... I guess the German customs have catched them and they will keep them at their tree in their office until after christmas Quote Link to comment
+Sunrayers Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm not really an ornament hanger in my household. I put up the tree and string the lights and that's it! However, I HAD to make sure there was a spot for this one! Thanks again Jim! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 OMG!!! How did you get one with your name engraved on it??? That is so cool! You are so lucky! I am so jealous! (<---<< see, I'm all green... LOL) CF30 Quote Link to comment
