A 1.25" coin for $7.50 is almost a $3-2 discount already. But just in case that is not enough... Orders of 12 or more will get FREE shipping. Any Colorado order can get free pick-up. Just let me know. Hope this intices a few people to by some extras. Quote

Maybe something for colorado natives/residents? Thanks for your interest, we are thinking about a LE, but probably not this year. The antiqued colors cause the back of the coin to really pop out at you! and... sorry about the color change! We decided to switch to the blue-lavendar color because it more closely resembles the Colorado Blue Columbine! Quote

CacheAddict.com Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Is there any signifigance to the timing of this coin release?? No. They were actually suppose to be on sale with the Butterfly Suncatchers but had issues with enamel color and some other items. Quote

+Roaring_Fork Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Very nice coin. I wish the purple was available since we have that exact color, along with the blue, growing in our flower gardens. Made reservation and can’t wait to see them. R_F Quote

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Just an unfortunate coincidince that the "Colorado Columbine" coin was announced the day after the 10th anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO. When I first saw the name I instantly thought it was another Coin with a cause(memorial/fund raiser etc.), but since it isn't I started to wonder if there was some signifigance to announcing it so close to a date that would have those words in many minds already. I guess not, just coincidental. Quote

+opalsns Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Beautiful. Here in Maine we have the Wild Columbine, Red with Yellow inside. They are all over our property and we planted them in our garden along with our Mauve colored Columbine and my sis in law is sending me some seeds from her Virgin White Columbine. If anyone in the US would like some seeds from the Red and Yellow Columbine, let me know as they are starting to go to seed now. Opalsns Quote
