Not interested in giving you my money to make the coin. Too many people have been victims of little mom and pop geocoin makers. When you are able to sell coins you originally paid for, than I will be interested.

Fascinating!

This made me smile! I'm actually Shandscott's wife and half of The Cache Shack. I came up with the coin after seeing the new movie.

 

I'm just shocked that it hadn't been done before :D

 

We're actually going to Vegas this year to meet both of "The Spock's"

I too think I will wait and either make a trade or buy one after the coins have been minted. Burned twice here.

 

I apologize that this has happened to you. We are new (I'm the other half of The Cache Shack, it's me who comes up with the coin designs) so I'm not too familiar with any other small companies. But I find it deplorable that someone would "burn" another.

 

I can understand your and others trepidation in purchasing "pre-sale" items. I hope over time we will prove more trustworthy.

 

Until then...

 

Happy Caching to you and yours. :D

Well depends on what you mean by "hadn't been done before" but the concept has. Nothing personal against your design.

Oh Wow! That is so awesome!

 

I'm having breakfast and a photo op with the New Mr. Spock, Zachary Quinto. Hubby is meeting Leonard Nimoy, it'll be our first convention. I can't wait!

This coin is very beautiful! Great job. I love to look at the designs that others come up with.

 

I meant no offense, I meant using the symbol and adding the Geocacher designation :D

Hey Shannon, I am glad to see you debuting on the GS coin forums. I am even more excited to see your designs doing so well.

 

LadyBear, I understand your concern. I doubt my word means much, but I personally know Shannon and his family. He recently retired from the Navy and has been working on getting their GeoCahcing business off the ground for over a year. A lot of us local cachers have helped him out with designs, input, and ideas. I believe they have their act together and I look forward to seeing more of their designs and I wish their endeavor much success.

Should I go through the number of times people have stood up for others and money was still taken? When people start selling geocoins they should use their own money, not expect the caching community to fund their projects.

I empathize with you, I was just speaking from my personal experience with them, outside of the geocoin and geocaching world. Each of use make our own decisions. I would not hesitate to pre-order from The Cache Shack, but I understand others are wary or pre-orders. Either way, no worries. :huh:

There's a slight delay at the mint as we adjusted to add some sandblasting to the coin.

 

I am getting an estimate from the manufacturer on when they will be in.

 

Any updates on when the coin will be ready to ship?

Hi,

 

We decided since our Geo Trek coins were so popular when we made them last, that we are doing a re-minting of them this time in Nickel

 

The polished gold sold out during the preorder and antique silver ones sold out soon after.

 

The coins have already been paid for and are in the minting process now.

 

They should be in stock in about 3-4 weeks

 

The coins are $9.99 each, with 100 available at this time

 

Click here to order

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE COINS WE ARE SELLING WILL BE IN NICKEL IN THE SAME DESIGN AS BELOW

 

Here are the pics of the design

These are what the previous coins looked like made

Pre-paid for 2. So when are these due to ship?

 

I paid for them on Monday morning. I'll get with my contact and see how long it will take. Hopefully sooner than usual since the die has already been cast.

 

I will update with the answer ASAP!

Your opinion has been duly noted, and there is a thread pinned for that very thing. There is also an approved vendors list on the Geocoin Homepage. If you don't want to preorder, then don't. End of story. Have a nice day! :rolleyes:

Just heard back.

 

The mint is closed at the beginning of May so they should be finished around May 8th and then we wait for them to ship them here which takes about a week.

are these the same metal as the original?

 

ILYK

 

These are in Nickel plating as the other editions were in antique silver and gold plating. I placed a limited amount on them, 50 gold and 100 antique silver

 

We did not want to change those edition amounts because it wouldn't be right.

 

There will be 100 of the nickel ones made.

Posted

These coins should be finished this week and hopefully will be in hand next week. I will let you know when I ship the pre-orders out.

 

They're selling like hotcakes

 

Thanks everyone for your purchase

I have been trying to contact the Cache Shack for a couple weeks now with no response about an order. Anyone else have another way to contact them other then through their store or profile?
