+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Still want one of each finish if there is more than one or at least two coins if there is only one finish. CF30 Quote
+ThirstyMick Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I can't wait to see the samples, this is going to be one beautiful coin Quote
ATMouse Posted April 11, 2008 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
+Marky Posted April 11, 2008 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
+yanagi Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I love this coin, congratulation for this design! Quote

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
+Gustav129 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I'm gonna have to get my hands on at least one of these coins. Absolutely amazing design. Quote
+Team Weathergirl Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Very nice. Am in the waiting line as well..... Quote
+Wandering Vikings Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Awesome coin, great job. Would love to get a couple of these.... at least! Quote
MotoCycleBoi Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Status report: We talking to the mint about the making of the samples. The price went up 10% on the 20th. The mint also have added some extended area surcharge to the freight fee. We are waiting for the mint to produce drawings for the dies. Quote
+Vanelle Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 The design on these is so intricate and well done. When they are ready to go up for sale, I would like some. Thank you. Quote

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
+ECplus3 Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Another amazing coin, Hans! Gonna have to make some space next to my Swedish Mooses (Meese?) for this one! Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 28, 2008 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
+forthferalz Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 interesting tracking numbers! Indeed a beautiful coin and I would love to know all about the wonderful symbols around it - can you make it a page on www.trackablecoins.com please? Get the template from the help page. Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 These are really stunning, but I am afraid to ask what the cost is going to be. Quote
+intolerable Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Beautiful. Can't wait to hold some of these! Quote
MotoCycleBoi Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 interesting tracking numbers! What can I say...? It´s a Swedish coin Indeed a beautiful coin and I would love to know all about the wonderful symbols around it - can you make it a page on www.trackablecoins.com please? Get the template from the help page. The symbols are from objects found in excavations of Birka. Great page! I shall try to make a page for the coin. Quote
+Gustav129 Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I'm definatly getting the two-tone coin if I can. Quote
+helixrider Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 How nice! I'll try to catch one or two of them! Quote
MotoCycleBoi Posted May 13, 2008 Author 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
ATMouse Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The die art looks wonderful! Keep us informed! We got a group interested in combining orders. Quote
Nenne_ Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 .. I can´t hardly wait, its a pain.. I want em now .. they say it will be in the end of May ... probably... 30 May. Quote

+OshnDoc Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Have the samples of these beautiful designs made it in? Can't wait to see a picture of the final coins. Thanks southpawaz, found the picture. Posted it below for everyone to enjoy. Edited June 4, 2008 by OshnDoc Quote
southpawaz Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I was just looking at the geocoin.se website; a nice picture of samples is posted and preorder information is listed. Quote
+OshnDoc Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Here is the picture directly from their website. These turned out awesome. Quote
+keewee Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Here is the picture directly from their website. These turned out awesome. All I can say is.... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
+ECplus3 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Holy moly! Why does everyone insist on making such beautiful coins?!? I'm gonna have to buy a lotto ticket for tonight so that I can increase my coin budget! Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Placed an order for a set. This will set me back a bit! But I budgeted for this. CF30 Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted June 4, 2008 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

+intolerable Posted June 4, 2008 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
