+ThirstyMick Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I can't wait to see the samples, this is going to be one beautiful coin Quote Link to comment
ATMouse Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) For us pre-planners: any chance on you being able to give a price and shipping cost on these beauties? Please let the tracking be on the side, as I would hate to lose any of the artwork. Edited April 11, 2008 by ATMouse Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Please let the tracking be on the side, as I would hate to lose any of the artwork. By "side", ATMouse means the edge of the coin. And I agree, you should put the tracking info on the the coin edge and not mess up your beautiful design. --Marky Quote Link to comment

Yes, we got the side part the first time Yes, we plan to put the tracking info on the edge of the coin. This is one of the things that makes the coin more expensive. As we have to do 3 dies. One extra for the edge. We do not know the price yet. The mint have announced a metal price raise on april 20th. We will try to keep you posted. We don't know the shipping yet either. We know it will be a heavy 2" coin. Yeah, I know. We don't know much. But one thing we do know. We want to make this Coin! Edited April 12, 2008 by MotoCycleBoi Quote Link to comment

CF30 It was an estimate and we will make some changes. But today is a great day. We got the sketch for the die! Check this Baby out! We will be making some changes. We may do some other platings for the samples to. We are pretty new at this so we are open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 SWEEEEEEET!!! This is one coin that (...I think - may change mind once I see samples...) will look better with the enamels than without. Or antique copper/no enamels... Can't wait until you have the samples! CF30 Quote Link to comment

MotoCycleBoi Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen... we are ready for sample production. We had to make some changes. The factory could not make the coin with center 3D art together with Imitation Hard Enamel. We did not want soft enamel so we made the center 2D. 4 different samples will be made: 2-tone Gold & Silver with Imitation Hard Enamel & transparent IHE. Gold with IHE & transparent IHE Antique Silver no enamel Gold & Foggy Gold no enamel Quote Link to comment

RedShoesGirl Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 oh my, these are gorgeous! but i have a little question. on the web site it says "Trackable at geocaching.com with own icon. Moose in 3D on the back. Custom prefix "SE"." but for the life of me, i don't see a moose. is there a moose? is it a hidden moose? kinda hard to hide a moose. either way i have to budget for at least one. i need a budget. lara Quote Link to comment

+intolerable Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Anyone know if these will be available after pre-sale? Or how long the pre-sale goes on for? These are must haves for me, but unfortunately find myself presently in a position where 'must have geocoin' simply can't carry as much weight as it did a day or two ago Any info appreciated (or I suppose I can just email the vendor This is just so much easier) Quote Link to comment
