+ZAteam Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) This is the second in series of four authentic porcelain geocoins with Dutch Delft Blue artwork. This second series features a traditional pare of wooden shoes and the text "klomp". Each coin is handmade and is numbered. Each series is limited to a maximum of 125 coins. When we started thinking about making a coin, we both wanted a typical Dutch coin that was truly different from the many geocoins available now. This resulted in the idea of making a handmade porcelain coin finished in the 'Delft Blue' style. Because both of us have two left hands(and square eyes), we approached Frans Ottink, an acquainted professional porcelain artist. Thanks to Frans the second series has become a piece of art as well. Being a handmade coin produced in limited quantities unfortunately means that this is not the cheapest coin out there. We want to emphasise that we have done everything possible to keep the cost down and that the coin is not sold with the intention to make any personal profit. Any possible profits that might result from the sale of the coins will be donated to a good cause. [EDIT: The coins are priced at Euro 12.90 which is the same price as the first 'windmill' series, but unfortunately the exchange rate leaves the US buyers at a disadvantage] Sales will start on Friday 21 December at 12:00 Amsterdam time, (GMT +1 hours) which I think translates to 06:00 New York time (GMT -5 hours) Coins are sold through K2Coins Edited December 20, 2007 by ZAteam Quote Link to comment

+AuntieNae Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 As an owner of the first coin in this series, I wanted to say they are worth the cost. They are very special and handmade. I am still enjoying mine and look forward to this second! AuntieNae Quote Link to comment

+Map Monkey Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Unless i can't see it, could you please confirm what the anticipated shipping costs would be to Australia (and probably to those in the US at the same time), as it is only calculated "after processing your cart" mm Quote Link to comment
+julia51:) Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 We won't be home from work until 8:15 am NY time, but we'll keep our fingers crossed! Thanks for doing these beautiful coins again! Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 My, my my, I missed the first one and the price seems a little pricey Quote Link to comment
+ZAteam Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Unless i can't see it, could you please confirm what the anticipated shipping costs would be to Australia (and probably to those in the US at the same time), as it is only calculated "after processing your cart" mm Here are the international shipping costs in euros: 1 coin : weight 35 --> 1.78 2 coins: weight 57 --> 2.67 3 coins: weight 79 --> 2.67 4 coins: weight 101 --> 5.34 Weight is including packaging. Registered shipping is a flat rate of 7.40 We've decided to remove the processing and handling fee to lighten the blow for the US cachers. It's not much but every bit helps. Quote Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Thank you for the reasonable shipping fees. I finally got one of the first edition, and these coins are worth more than double the price they are charging. You can tell, just by looking at them, there was a lot of time and effort put in to these coins. Quote Link to comment
