+BamaBrowns Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Hey everybody! I've been trolling the forum for awhile now and I just wanted to post my wife's (NishaD) first geocoin that is currently in presales at cacheaddict.com. We're dog lovers which I am sure some of you are too so I thought I'd share. Reservations end Dec 3rd A few words from the designer... I wanted to bring awareness to the ongoing problem of animal abuse and neglect, so I designed this coin to honor all the animals that have suffered abuse at the hands of humans and continue to show unconditional love. Having been a volunteer at our local animal shelter, I have seen firsthand the cruelty animals have endured. One of my four-legged babies was a rescue from such abuse and neglect, and yet he still has the capacity to be so sweet and gentle. I believe the quote by Immanuel Kant sums it up you can judge someone’s character by his treatment of animals. Edited November 25, 2009 by sbrown2680 Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I just signed up to volunteer at the local animal shelter, and these are wonderful!! I will definitely be preordering a set. Quote Link to comment

+Laval K-9 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Just made my reservation for 2 coins. Couldn't resist Quote Link to comment
+BamaBrowns Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the reservations everybody...I thought I should mention that if we make it to 250 sales there will be a unique icon. Edited November 25, 2009 by sbrown2680 Quote Link to comment
Jamer196 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Had to order one of each! Quote Link to comment

+kicki22 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I just preordered 3 in silver. My rescue pup Lindsay is the reason I got into Geocaching. I wanted a goal while we were out for walks and wanted to socialize her in new places as she'd not had a lot of good experiences in social situations. Love the design. Quote Link to comment
CacheAddict.com Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks for the reservations everybody...I thought I should mention that if we make it to 250 sales there will be a unique icon. Groundspeak changed the rules, you can get an icon with 100 coins/codes now. That is correct but when you devide $150 over 250 coins it is $$.60 per coin. Do the same for 100 coins and it is $1.50. Not to many people are willing to pay the extra $.90 to get the icon. Or in other words, if i charged $11 for these less people would be likely to buy them. Mike Quote Link to comment
+BamaBrowns Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 We just got the samples in the mail today and I have to say they even look better in person. Mike at Cache Addict does quality work and if anyone here is considering creating a geocoin I would highly suggest they use his services. Quote Link to comment
+bramasoleiowa Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Got mine reserved. 1 for me. 1 as a gift to the caching family that got me started on geocaching. 1 for my aunt, the biggest animal lover in my family, on the board of directors of Alaska Malamute HELP League.

Mike As it is, the cost of one coin is still $13.99 with shipping. That already is a tad steep. Quote Link to comment
+BamaBrowns Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 As it is, the cost of one coin is still $13.99 with shipping. That already is a tad steep. From what I've seen the price seems to be along the lines of other geocoins that aren't continuously produced. Of course that's just my observation. I really do think it's a beautiful coin....of course I'm a little biased. Anyway I hope everybody enjoys them. Quote Link to comment
+BamaBrowns Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Reservations end tomorrow Dec 3rd so just one day left to reserve the Love Paw Geocoin You don't have to pay anything until the coins come in CacheAddict.com Love Paw Geocoin Quote Link to comment
CacheAddict.com Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 As it is, the cost of one coin is still $13.99 with shipping. That already is a tad steep. I don't think I am to far off other vendors prices and I am one of the few if not only that still takes reservations instead of pre-sales and taking money up front. Quote Link to comment
+PaRacers Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'd love to have a Love Paw to add to our GeoDog geocoin collection. Anyone have a spare? Quote Link to comment

CacheAddict.com Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Nobody has any yet!!! If you only ordered these coins, they shipped last week. If you ordered the Hiking Set also they are due next week and then I'll invoice for both coins. I may have a few extra but right now it is not looking like it. Quote Link to comment

I don't understand, I made reservation for the Lovepaw set, got an email in the middle of December that said we'd get an invoice when the coins arrived to you... Nothing since then. They've already shipped? Did I miss something? Or do you mean they shipped last week from the mint to you? And you'll be invoicing us soon? Edited January 6, 2010 by murphyrulez Quote Link to comment

To save time on my part and money on shipping for you I have not invoied you or sent the coins yet. When the Hiking Set comes in Monday then I'll invoice and ship. Hope this helps clear it up.
