+Wandering Vikings Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Pre-sales are now open on our next coin, The Honu Geocoin. Inspired by the petroglyphs found all over the Hawiian Islands (as well as Howard's wedding ring!) This coin is 2"x1.95", 3D on the front with some really cool detail and flat on the bottom. The Honu will be offered in polished gold, silver and copper with a black nickel LE. As always the coins are trackable on Geocaching.com with a unique icon. To purchase, or for more information please click here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+mickebush77 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 wow very nice coin i like the design Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Whoa! Those are really nice! Budget is tapped, tho, unless I can offload some more of the coins I have listed in another thread. I guess I'll have to trade or something. I can't see these lasting too long (or at least not long enough.....) CF30 Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 The color on the black nickel is from the reflection and is not really on the coin correct? Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 wow, these are gorgeous! anyone want to go in with me on a set? i just want the black nickel one. rsg Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 The color on the black nickel is from the reflection and is not really on the coin correct? Yep, it is just the flash reflection giving it that look. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Mauison Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 That honu sure looks familiar: I'm leaning toward grabbing a set but will have to check my Paypal acct first. Good job, I should've thought of it first! Quote Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nice! Only bad thing is my coin budget is slim this month and I no longer do pre-sales. Maybe I can trade for a couple or have more in the coin budget by the time they get produced and are 'in stock'... Quote Link to comment
MotoCycleBoi Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Great looking coin! Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Really a nice coin. Animalshaped so it will fit into my collection. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment
+Tank Hounds Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I really only wanted the black nickel, but didn't want to buy the whole set...why are the best metals always the LE's? Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Started my Christmas shopping - very nice! Quote Link to comment
+Mama Cache Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Cool. Is this pressed copper or brass? Quote Link to comment
Erica-opoly Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 wow, these are gorgeous! anyone want to go in with me on a set? i just want the black nickel one. rsg If you do get the set, i'd trade for the Polished silver one Quote Link to comment
+Pabloturtle Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Just had to order a couple sets. Great looking coin. One set will be for trading for those interested. Edited October 2, 2008 by Pabloturtle Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Cool. Is this pressed copper or brass? It's actually a pewter alloy, with the various platings. Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sweet Looking coins!! Just out of curiosity, are you using the same mint as your previous coins? Same parent company but different arm. It did take some hoop-jumping, but we switched. Quote Link to comment

+Dolfy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Why do the best finishes have to be part of a set? Ugh.. If anyone who gets a set wants to trade away the BN finish please let me know. Right now the funds won't allow me to get a full set. Quote Link to comment
+yelladawg Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Love the Honus!!!! Ordered two of them, can't wait! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+CTKayak Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well done, beautiful-looking coin. OK, I'll fall off the no-more-coins wagon for these. Quote Link to comment

If anyone who gets a set wants to trade away the BN finish please let me know. Right now the funds won't allow me to get a full set. Once the coins are actually *in-hand* (around the 27th of this month) we will look at trades. But at this rate I don't think there will be any LE left! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know that there are just a couple LE left, and the mint has let us know that the coins are on track for delivery on the 27th! Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Just a quick update- Spoke to my rep at the mint last night who advised that the coins were being packaged and should ship tonight (Friday morning their time). So it looks like (barring any customs hold-ups) we should have these in-hand Monday morning! Quote Link to comment

I am running three charity auctions Fri, Sat, Sun to benefit seaturtles.org (a copper, a gold and a black nickel), got permission from the OP to post the charities here. I am also adding a special prize to the highest bidder of all three auctions. Shipping is also free. Copper HONU turtle auction Quote Link to comment
