I remember seeing the pics you posted about pulling the motor from the truck. So you're saying what, that you used similar keys a couple of weeks ago Quote Link to comment
+MountainRacer Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Beautiful design. I keep an old key from my great-grandmother's house on my keyring that looks a lot like this coin. Quote Link to comment

+Wandering Vikings Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 "Key to the Cache 2008" Two tone LE and Silver Geocoins Pre-sales now open We are expexting them to arrive early to mid July, we will post a more accurate date when we get one. Thank you Quote Link to comment
+Smort78 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Great coins For how long will the pre-sale be open? How many will be minted of the LE - will it be minted enough to fill all pre-sale orders or is it a set number? Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Do you have pictures of the antique gold or antique silver? Shiney silver isn't mentioned on the presale page, but that picture above looks awfully shiney. Is there an antique silver, or is it shiney? Sorry, just a little confused here. Quote Link to comment

Shiney silver isn't mentioned on the presale page, but that picture above looks awfully shiney. Is there an antique silver, or is it shiney? Sorry, just a little confused here. Yes, this is confusing to me, as well. I've been holding out on getting any of these until I actually saw a picture, and now I'm glad. I was ready to perhaps buy a whole set (something I've never done, but I used to collect these as a girl), but now I'm not sure. That looks like shiny silver, and it's posted on the coin page above the "antique silver" note. Skeleton keys should be antique, in my opinion. Perhaps I'll just get the black nickel. Otherwise, these are incredible. I hope there's some mistake, and these actually have antique finishes. Of course, my husband would be a lot happier if I only bought one. Quote Link to comment

The Silver and Gold coins WILL be in antique finish, only the LE will be polished metal. Quote Link to comment

How many will be minted of the LE - will it be minted enough to fill all pre-sale orders or is it a set number? We are planning only 100 LE coins to be minted, We keep presales open until we have the coins in hand or they sell out. We are hoping to have them in-stock mid July.

That looks like shiny silver, and it's posted on the coin page above the "antique silver" note. The Silver and Gold coins WILL be in antique finish, only the LE will be polished metal. Thanks for pointing this out to us! With the frenzy of getting the Celtic Sun shipped out it took a couple days for us to even connect that the silver sample was the wrong finish. I've emailed the mint about the possibility of getting samples of the Antique Finishes and am waiting to hear their response. We really don't want to hold up production if additional samples will take an extra couple weeks, we'd rather just go forward with the shiney pictures and a good disclaimer... We've left the shiney silver pictures up so you could get a better idea of how the coins look in real life and not just from artwork. I spent some time taking more pictures and updating the website today so hopefully it will be a little more clear. Pictures really don't do it justice since the coin is so delicate, it's difficult to get a picture that really shows the writing and filigree. Here are some close-up shots of the LE. It is really a beautiful coin! (I will be stringing mine on a chain and wearing it as a pendant for a while- it's that pretty!) Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for the updated information! Definitely like the antique finish for an old key! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've emailed the mint about the possibility of getting samples of the Antique Finishes and am waiting to hear their response. We really don't want to hold up production if additional samples will take an extra couple weeks, we'd rather just go forward with the shiney pictures and a good disclaimer... We have asked the mint to go ahead and produce the antique samples, but it looks like it may not be ready until just before the coin itself arrives. We don't want to hold up production while waiting on samples so we will be using the pre-sale order numbers to determine mint quantities. What this means to you is that on Monday when we confirm totals with the mint we will place our order for what we have pre-sold and a small cushion to cover the orders we anticipate coming in the next couple weeks while the coin is being made. Once we use up those quantities we will pull the Key pre-sales from our website. The LE has sold out for our last two coins in Pre-sales and this one is on track to do the same, so those who were waiting to see finish samples before deciding which coins to order may want to factor that in their decision. Thanks to everyone for their kind words- we are very excited about this coin coming in! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 We finally got pictures of the antique finishes- they are gorgeous! The key is 2" by .95" so it is very delicate in person, the photo's made it look much clunkier than it actually is. See more pics here. Pre-sales will be open for a couple more weeks and coins are expected mid-July. LE are getting low- I would guess a couple more days until they are pulled, so order here if you haven't already. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Only 4 LE's left and then we will be pulling the sets! There are a few of the other finishes still available, but this is the last call for the two-tone LE. Coins are expected sometime the week of July 21-25th and we will ship them as soon as they arrive. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 The mint says that they will be here on 7/16! Whoo hoo! We will ship them as soon as they are in our hot little hands... Quote Link to comment
+burgessfour Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 We got ours today and they are very nice! The LE is stunning with its gold and silver finishes but they are all pretty and it's such a cool design; thank you so much!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 just wanted to post an update... All orders have shipped! there are still some Gold, Silver and Black Nickel coins available for sale on our webpage, The LE has sold out in presales. Thank you to everyone who purchased a coin (or two) and helped to make these beautiful keys our most successful coin to date. Quote Link to comment
