+7ofclubs Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was really stunned at the amount of emails I got asking me to create a personal geocoin after I posted the Geocaching Injury geocoin, so I made a personal geocoin. Some emails were very specific about coin price and shipping cost. I read the forum comments and emails sent to me, the price is lower with the new manufacturer. This coin measures 1.75" high and 1.25" wide. Finish is black nickel with white soft enamel on the front and light green soft enamel on the back. The picture on the web page is the art for the coin. I anticipate shipping this coin on or about April 25, 2008. This coin is trackable on geocaching.com. I know its real early for a coin announcement but I ordered the coin yesterday and I am really excited about it. You can see the coin on www.7ofclubs.us Quote Link to comment

+DaFunkyFrogs Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If this coin turns out as nice as the Geocaching Injury geocoin (which I got for my husband after getting dog-bit while caching ) we would love to have one! Do you know when you might have pictures of the actual coin? Quote Link to comment
+7ofclubs Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just approved the art today, the manufaturer tells me they will send me pictures within 2 weeks. Just to let you know I was geocaching Monday on the Bonneville Shoreline trail in Kaysville, Utah. I twisted my ankle and slid about 10' butt first down a 60 degree slope. Thank goodness for Motrin! 7ofclubs If this coin turns out as nice as the Geocaching Injury geocoin (which I got for my husband after getting dog-bit while caching ) we would love to have one!

+7ofclubs Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 My personal geocoin is finally here. Production issues, typhoons, and manufacturing problems delayed this coin almost 3 weeks! Coin description: 1.75" x 1.25". Black nickel finish, white enamel on obverse, glow-in-the-dark on the reverse with the tracking number that is big enough so that I can read without my glasses. I had originally posted the coin for $7 plus $3 shipping. Due to production issues I will have to price the coin at $9.99 off this forum. I will, however, honor the original $7 + $3, that I quoted in the forums earlier until 1 Jun 08. If you want the coin, you can email me at 7ofclubs2@comcast.net. You can also visit www.7ofclubs.us but the coin will be $9.99. 7ofclubs Quote Link to comment

+7ofclubs Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 I guess the way I wrote it is confusing. $10 total and that includes shipping, off the forums the total is $12.99 including shipping.

+fairyhoney Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thank you . Now, do either of your 2 coins have their own icons? Quote Link to comment
+7ofclubs Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 You're welcome. Neither have icons at this time. To get an icon for a coin you must order 300 tracking numbers + pay for the icon. It was hard enough convincing my wife to let me invest in geocoins but I did convince her that if at least 300 geocoins of a type went I could get the icons. I like icons too, I can't wait to get my first icon on a coin. 7ofclubs Thank you . Now, do either of your 2 coins have their own icons? Quote Link to comment

+AtwellFamily Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you bought some already and the total doesn't to 250 yet I would guess TPTB might let you top up especially if you are buying an icon as well. Quote Link to comment
+7ofclubs Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thanx for the info on the amount of tracking numbers you can buy at one time...I am checking on it at GC I am sure they told me that the numbers have to be bought in blocks of 100. 250 would be nice!! 7 If you bought some already and the total doesn't to 250 yet I would guess TPTB might let you top up especially if you are buying an icon as well.
