+sweetlife Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Any updates on these fantastic coins Scavok? We still be interested in these, we havent gotten a newsletter in awhile, hope we didnt miss these. Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 They will be going up for presale on coinsandpins within the next week. I'm guestimating the 15th. I'll send out a letter when the sales open and then before they close as reminders so people don't miss them Can't wait! Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sounds wonderful as this is our wedding anniversary date, We be married for 5 years. Would be a awesome coin to purchase/trade to celebrate our marriage. Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Just a quick reply to let you all know that the presale for these will be open tomorrow morning. Or I guess its "later today" considering the time... anyway on Dec 11th sales are planned to open Presale Link I will be sending out a newsletter tomorrow too at some point. Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Zzzzzz...can't sleep...must....buy...coins..... (I'm in Japan. It's night-time here) don't worry that much. They do the presales for a reason, they will be available for a week or so for unlimited amounts. Go to bed Quote Link to comment
+HarmFamily Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 WOW!! Talk about cosmic timing!!!! I was sitting here, eating lunch and the thought crossed my mind, "I wonder if Roger has that Journey coin ready to go,it's been a long time since I hit the forums...let's see...?". What timing!!!!! No newsletter arrived yet brother, but I did go to the presales link and I don't see your item in the list. Coming later today? I'll be awaiting on pins and needles!!

+scavok Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) With the big distractions all around, the true light is often the small one at the end of the tunnel. There is, of course, beauty in the tangled and complicated. The view along the path (as well as the path itself) is to be enjoyed while journeying to whatever that lighted destination may be. For the geocacher in all of us, we all occasionally want to go out with no other plans than to get as many finds as we can before day's end. But at the end of the day, what is it that makes us want to go out and cache again tomorrow? There is the long travel, the hunt, the search and the guessing game. Normally a find, quick sign and then we do it all over again... we do it for the journey that brings us to the cache; for the anticipation of the find and discoveries along the way. 'Tis better to journey hopefully than to arrive... Sometimes the journey is the destination. For the art itself I drew the single teardrop shape after seeing some very out of place oasis orchids while visiting the southern deserts of New Mexico. It also has some influence from the fantastical Carlsbad Caverns in seeing natural light far off and overhead while down in a cave. I personally prefer the round coins, so seeing the natural radial patterns in both floral and mineral form added to the effect and finished it off. ------------------ Measures 2" diameter Detailed multi-level designs on both sides Translucent colors that are see-through Trackable on Geocaching.com If enough are ordered, an icon unique to this coin will show on your profile when you log a discovery on geocaching.com There will most likely be a remint (don't know how big as of yet) of LE and trade only versions a few weeks after presales close. ------------------ Direct Presale Link Direct Presale Link Direct Presale Link A quick note to mention that initially they didn't have the copper version listed but they gave me a call to see about it and we decided to offer that up for presale as well Larger photos, descriptions, and other finishes that didn't make the cut at scavok.com Hope you all like them!

I've got to say, from what I've seen it's worth every second you've had to put into the revamp's. A very special coin that deserves all the attention you've put into it!! You know I'll be in on the preorder for those as well, I had a dream about 'em a few weeks ago!! What's up with THAT?!?!@#$ Take care! K Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) For those of you who collect icons as well as the coins this may be important I just received news that a sufficient quantity of Journey Geocoins have been sold to apply a custom icon to their tracking codes. The icon itself has not yet be finished, but that will be posted on scavok.com and in the forums ASAP. Info, images and presale links are at scavok.com Edited December 15, 2008 by scavok Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Presales are ending on December 20th for this coin and a couple other great ones at coinsandpins. It doesn't mean that you have until midnight on the 20th (I learned that with the tengwar coin!). So its best to get your order in today or tomorrow just to be safe!

+scavok Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well the presales are over (hope you got yours!!). I've posted minting numbers and finishes on my website if anyone is interested. I think this was the first time ever that CnP had a finish other than bronze sell the most, wohoo go silver! Anyway, there will be a minting of additional finishes and I will offer most of those for sale from scavok.com when they arrive from CnP I'll probably post here and will definitely update on my website and via newsletter too 26 Black Nickel with dark purple 26 Chrome with dark green 26 Satin .925 silver with the red transparent enamel in plastic cases 12 Shiny .925 silver with the red transparent enamel in plastic cases - trade only 2 coins of *** finish as the AE (one for me and one for the icon creator) Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 When I recieve the shipment from C&P I will post here to let everyone know. I'll take pics and put them on the website for people to see the photos for a few days and then send out an email to all the newsletter subscribers telling them when sales will open. Once sales are open I'll then post here to let everyone else know If they sell well enough I'll invest in a 3rd round which will include remints of the original finishes as well as possible a new one...

JohnMac56 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Checking out the site right now to place an order. I see that there are four others listed on the site, but it shows them as sold out? They are the Shiny Gold with Light Green, Nickel with Red, Black Nickel with Bright Green and Shiny .925 Silver with Red (Trade Only). I am assuming that the Shiny .925 with Red is only going to be available for trades, but what about the other three? Are they going to be on sale at a later time, or are they already all gone???
