+Jackalgirl Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Huzzah! And if anyone hasn't checked out the main page lately, there've been a couple of changes due to crew requests. For example, it's possible to two-tone your coins (gold/bn or nickel/bn) at the same added cost as doing antiquing (that is, $.10 per coin). It's pretty exciting. So far the choices have been awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing the entire group! As a recap: the brow closes on the 20th (that is, that's when membership closes). I'll give everyone a couple of weeks to settle down and fix their choices (unless everyone's sure sooner). Then I'll start the ordering process and we'll move on to payment, mint blueprint approval, trading and (my favorite part) RECEIVING. Huzzah! Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 SOOOOO Excited!!! Anyone else want to join our fun?? Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ahoy! There are just a couple more days remaining; I'll actually leave the brow open until 9am on Friday in Japan -- that's midnight GMT -- and then we'll be setting sail. So throw your seabags aboard and clamber 'cross the gangway, mateys! Quote Link to comment
+Tonyalynnm Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 so many color choices!!!! I have been looking at colors for 2 days and still can't decide? Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just wanted to post a quick thank you to Jackalgirl for all the help to me, this wet behind the ears landlubber, with this project. I think I am all settled into my berth on the ship and may be ready for setting sail. Thanks again for all your help! Quote Link to comment
+Mar-elendili Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would have loved, but my wallet disagrees... for now. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Okay, everyone, the brow has been PULLED, the anchor's aweigh and the 2011 Mini-Doubloons Treasure Quest is now officially underway! For those of you who couldn't make it, fear not. I have some ideas for later in the year when it might be a tad bit more wallet-friendly. Or, having learned my lesson about January, I'll start next year's project a bit later. ; ) But I've got a bonanza crew this year, so keep an eye out for some awesome coins. Hip hip hooray!

+Jackalgirl Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 LUCRE! FILTHY, FILTHY LUCRE! The prize is just now being distributed among the victorious crew. And they'd been generous enough to donate some of their hard-won bounty for earthquake relief in Japan & New Zealand, so keep an eye on the associated fundraising threads for announcements soon. Arrrrrr! Quote Link to comment
+Tonyalynnm Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 love my coin! I still haven't told Indiana Anthony about them but I know he is going to love it, I don't think geobaby Alex cares much yet as he is still trying to master walking thank you so much for all your hard work on this Kat!

+GATOULIS Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hey! I just saw it and... the design changed? WOW!! Carpe diem??? the mystery coiner?? Quote Link to comment
+RSCAENSD Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We see ours in a photo, and can hardly wait to see them in our hands! Love that "Summer Grace" version as well! Great pictures to keep us at bay until the loot arrives. Thanks for the efforts! Quote Link to comment
+Nikon-ing Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Got mine today!! Doing the happy dance here in New Jersey Thank you Jackalgirl for ALL the work you did. It was great to get all my coins AND all my trades in one terrific package. Thank you Irwin for all your hard work organizing THAT! Everyone's doubloons turned out so much better than all the artwork we saw! Thanks for all the help in picking out my colors, too. This was a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I hopped aboard.

+AtwellFamily Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I thought these would ship with a magnifying glass to see the tracking codes. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sometime today or tomorrow (tomorrow, most like), I'll post a series of .DOC and .PDF files for everyone with graphics you can cut out and insert into the flips. That way, you can break out your magnifying glasses and write the tracking code on the inserts (if you should want to gift 'em or trade 'em or set 'em traveling and want to save the eyesight of those who come after). : ) Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My part o' th' booty arrived!!!! Thank you so much for leadin us group of scallywags captain!!

Looking forward to this! I cut out paper inserts and had started to write the tracking codes/activation codes, but was tired and gave up after doing just 6. Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Please remind me, where are the activation codes? Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Howdy! Ah, those awful activation codes. I sent them out on the list, and I'm so sorry for forgetting -- I always forget those. : ( So there will be TWO insert sheets I'll make: one for activated codes and one for gifts (that'll have the activation codes on 'em). Sorry, sorry! Quote Link to comment
+manu luq Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I received the doubloons, ...are all them really beautiful! It's very nice to see together all these combinations of colors and metals. I am very happy for trading with fellow pirate crew It is a magnificent treasure thanks to an excellent captain, and I hope we can soon make another trip This booty has a special place in my collection. NB: I have also received a mystery coin, ...no words to thank for this unexpected gift, so special and meaningful... another gem for my collection Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I thought these would ship with a magnifying glass to see the tracking codes. We have been out of town, ours were waiting for us when we got home. It took me a long time to find the tracking code, it kind of just looks like some scratches on the edge....this was my only disapointment with the coins. Quote Link to comment

It comes courtesy my incredibly generous and good-hearted crew. But don't tell those scallywags I told you they're so sweet. : ) Quote Link to comment
