+UncleJimbo Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 email sent. would like to know the weight of the coin Using the dimensions of 3 mm x 38 mm on the website, and a density of 10.5 g/cm3, and assuming the coin is 100% silver (?), I calculate a weight of 35.7 g. I am unclear on whether this coin is made completely of silver or if only the finish is silver. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Glad to announce that we have received the first batch (and we are very pleased with the end restult [especially it being the first coin minted]) of coins and have started to mail them off to their respective owners Whoo Hoo... I pre-ordered two on Feb 6. Quote Link to comment

I am unclear on whether this coin is made completely of silver or if only the finish is silver. This coin will be completely made from "Fine Silver" which has a silver content of 99.9% silver as apposed to sterling silver with only a 92.5% silver content and the remainder made up of copper. Thus, it is not just a silver finish. Quote Link to comment

Please drop me a mail when you have received the coins as I would be very interested to know when the first international coins start to arrive. To tell the truth, this is the first coins we have shipped overseas and are currently very nervous about the postal service, delivery, customs and the like . So if you confirm that you have received the coins, it will really set our minds to ease. Quote Link to comment

+luckycharmer Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 eragonSaphira, you better believe we'll let you know when the coins arrive here. We're very anxious to see them. Unfortunately we chose the slow method of shipment. They look great in the pictures. Quote Link to comment
+OverTheEdge Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My coins arrived a week ago, I had to go to the post office to pick them up, so I didn't have them in hand until Saturday - and I have already traded two of my extras! Awesome coins! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment
+luckycharmer Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I came home to a notice that I had a package to pick up at post office. NO WAY I WAS GOING TO GO ALL WEEKEND WITHOUT GETTING THIS PACKAGE. I followed the mail carrier for about a mile on foot until I caught him at his truck. I GOT MINE. 3 beautiful collectible tokens. They came so much faster than I expected. I LOVE THEM. Quote Link to comment

I was out of town for a few days and when I returned, there was a notice from the postal service that they had attempted to deliver a registered package (one that must be signed for). I'll pick it up today at the post office, unless it is already enroute for a second deliver y attempt. I'm not really sure, but it just might be my coin order! Quote Link to comment

Hi Guys, We send all our parcels SAPO Registered Mail. It just makes finding lost parcels easier and makes it easier to prove to Setcom that we have dispatched parcels (this is needed for the FICA act) Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment

I had no problem with registered mail. Thanks Renier! I've only activated one so far but I think it was the first to be activated here in the United States. Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I would be interested in one ,How much would that be in US dollars? Quote Link to comment

+eragonSaphira Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would be interested in one ,How much would that be in US dollars? Hi Whitebear, Would that be the Fine Siver geocoins? We have not fixed the price on this coin yet but think it should be around $52 at this stage (we are hoping for it to be less, but is still waiting for an invoice). If you are interested, send me a mail (renier@geocoins.co.za) and we'll add you to the list. Regards, Renier Quote Link to comment
+eragonSaphira Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) We're proud to finally reveal the Fine Silver eragonSaphira & GRC Mint geocoins. Pictures have been uploaded to GeoCoins South Africa. Higher resolution images can be found at Trackable Coins Edited April 11, 2008 by eragonSaphira Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Can't quite justify the silver one (yet) - however I had missed the initial email and have just purchased a couple of the originals. Sue Quote Link to comment
+eragonSaphira Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) We have had various requests to provide a different payment gateway other than Setcom. We have signed up with 2checkout.com and thus can accept Paypal payments via the 2checkout.com gateway now. We are still in the process of implementing the new payment gateway into our website and will anounce it here when it is done. Should you be interested in acquiring eragonSaphira & GRC Mint geocoins (priced @ $8.50 per coin) using your Paypal account to make payment (for the time being until 2checkout.com is implemented on our site), you can send a mail to renier@geocoins.co.za with the number of coins you would like as well as the shipping option you prefer. We'll send you an invoice for the number of coins along with the shipping fees. Upon acceptance of the invoice, we'll send you a payment request via 2checkout.com which you may then pay with either your 2checkout.com account or your Paypal account. International Registered Airmail Shipping fees are as follows: 01-03 coins = $ 06.86 04-07 coins = $ 09.72 08-11 coins = $ 12.58 12-14 coins = $ 15.44 International Registered Surface Mail Shipping fees are as follows: 01-03 coins = $ 05.43 04-07 coins = $ 06.86 08-11 coins = $ 08.29 12-14 coins = $ 09.72 We also still have very very limited stock of the eragonSaphira & GRC Mint Limited Edition Fine Silver geocoins. Should you be interested, you can contact us for these as well. Edited May 27, 2008 by eragonSaphira Quote Link to comment
+eragonSaphira Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 After consulting with 2checkout.com we found that we are not REQUIRED to use registered mail for orders handled through them, thus, we will also be adding 2 additional shipping methods for clients paying through 2checkout.com. Not having the parcel registered will result in a cost saving of $2.60 per order; however, please be aware that unregistered mail cannot be tracked or traced and thus we cannot take any responsibility for parcels once they leave our possession. International Unregistered Airmail Shipping fees are as follows: 01-03 coins = $ 04.26 04-07 coins = $ 07.12 08-11 coins = $ 09.98 12-14 coins = $ 12.84 International Unregistered Surface Mail Shipping fees are as follows: 01-03 coins = $ 02.83 04-07 coins = $ 04.26 08-11 coins = $ 05.69 12-14 coins = $ 07.12 Quote Link to comment
