+Red Otter Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 OK, 30 minutes since my last guess. How about: HMCS Jonquière (K318) I think that's where the bridge was built... Thanks again for the fun cointest!! WINNER #5!!! The Jonquière was my father's third ship. It was another River class frigate recommissioned as a Prestonian class in the early 50s. That's good for an LE edition! Congrats Red Otter!!! Just one ship to go! Wow!! Thank-you so much! I had fun playing and love the look (and meaning) of your coin. Quote Link to comment

xboxcrazy33 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 030 EXETER - Wainwright, Alberta (moved 1955 to Lac La Biche, Alberta) WINNER #6!!! We have a winner of the full set!! Congrats xboxcrazy33!!! It would have been a shame for you to have done all that research and not make the final connection. Just one ship to go! It is from the same class as the Jonquiere and the Buckingham. Woohoo! Thanks for the awesome cointest E&Cplus3! This is a really awesome coin, and I'm so excited! After you said that it was right near 140 Cayuga, I was actually really scared that someone was gonna get it before I had a chance to post again. This was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. I'm curious to see what the final ship is. Thanks again! Congrats to the other winners! Quote Link to comment

+yalehockeymom Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Has anyone received the coins in the mail yet? I'm still waiting! Quote Link to comment
The Stoned Wookie Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I might have to get a couple of these. One for me to send around and one for my step-dad who is in Afghanistan right now. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 There are three ISAF coins listed in the event in Kabul and one to be given out in a cointest. I'm glad they made it in time. Thanks to carolangelpaul for bringing these coins along. Here's the link to the event: Kabul International Airport (1st event cache) I haven't heard from anyone else receiving their coins -- aparently shipping from Canada to Portugal is quicker than shipping to the States, within Canada, or even within my own province!

+yalehockeymom Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yes, I did receive my coins yesterday shortly after my last post. I was starting to get impatient with the mail system. Quote Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I received my coin today too!! Cool!! Thanks for the fun cointest! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Still plenty of these coins left! The XLE may be sold out, but the antique gold and antique nickel versions are still available. I am also trying to see if there is interest in getting a customized version of this coin minted. Originally, the idea was that military personnel could get their unit abbreviation engraved on the coin. But I'm not going to restrict what you can get engraved (as long as it is 8 characters or less!) I would like to have orders for 150 coins before I go to the mint. The cost would be $7.50 per coin.

+ECplus3 Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Price Reduction! Well, for US customers anyway. The Canadian dollar has taken a beating in the last few weeks. So what was once a $9 coin when our currencies were near par is now more like a $7.50 coin. Still plenty left. http://palehorse.serveftp.net Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 These are really, really nice! I had the priviledge of receiving one as part of a mission and we really love it! Great job, E&c! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Last chance to get one of these coins! All that don't sell in the next few weeks will be activated and released. (that's about 100 coins at the moment) Quote Link to comment
+Lazer Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I was going to try to order a couple to release myself but I kept getting an error when I tried to login? Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've had a lot of issues with my website since the power outages last week fried my router. You can send me your orders via PM... at least my email is still working Just include: Name Mailing address Paypal email Order (antique gold and antique nickel still available -- $9 Canadian each) Thanks for your interest and sorry for the inconvenience!

+ECplus3 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have been considering doing a remint of my first geocoin for some time now. I will likely be doing two-tone finishes for the new coins in limited numbers and use hard enamel for the back. Cost would be $10.00 CDN. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 we missed this 1 the last time...gonna watch this... Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Merging with remint thread. One coin, one thread please. Quote Link to comment
