I know a lot of people like to see how a coin becomes such. Here are a few pictures to show that.

Wow!! Really nice coin, congratulations!! :laughing:

 

What does the chinese text say?

 

Howdy!

 

The Chinese on the "trackable at" side says "Strike while the iron is hot"

 

On the dragon side, it says "if a person has ambition, things will be accomplished".

 

They were the two Chinese proverbs I found that I thought fit in really well with geocaching. And if you like the red-and-gold coin, boy are you going to have your socks knocked off when you see Mike's other color combinations! : )

I love the Chinese lanterns. When I was in Beijing, our hotel had these outside:

I cannot wait to place an order for these.

 

If the other colors are as beautiful, I may not have any money left.

STOP IT!!!

 

I can't afford any more coins! Can't you make ugly coins that I don't HAVE to have???

 

Sorry, I was just kidding...

 

Mike, these are fantastic!!! I can't wait to see the other color combos that you have come up with for these coins. And I can't wait for them to go on sale either. I may have to eat peanut butter and jelly for a couple of weeks, but I WILL get some of these!!!

Thanks for the translation! Can't wait to see the other colors :o When will the photos of those come in?

 

I love these lanterns! When I was a kid, I could never resist to touch them at the local chinese restaurants :laughing:

When we were travelling in China in 2007 we saw lots of 'real' chinese lanterns..

Chinese Lantern Reservations

 

The LE version is Gold and only 100 will be produced...ever!

 

I am trying something new to thank those who participate in reservations. The reservation proce will be $1 to $1.50 less than the regular price. I hope this drive more people to reservations while at the same time not having people reserve but not pay. We will see how this goes on this coin.

I made a reservation and then got an email stating my reservation for the "Flag Series Subscription" has been received. :D I never ordered the flag coins.

 

I went back in to look at my account order history and it only shows the reservation I made back in January.

 

Very confusing. How do I know if my correct reservation was received? :D

You are ok. I fixed the autoresponse email.

Thanks for the response. I hate to be a PITA but could you please resend my auto-confirmation email?

 

I'm one of the coiners who got burned by another vendor and so now I'm keeping meticulous records of my reservations and purchases. I hope you understand and don't mind...

 

Thanks!

I don't know if it's obvious, but it's hidden in the description on the reservations page: the black nickel/white enamel uses glow-in-the-dark enamel. How cool is that? Mike, that was an awesome idea -- and of course the lantern would glow in the dark! : )

Reservations closing early. Order will go to mint this week!!!!
