+jpbarr Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 So,after much designing and no cash I was losing hope of ever getting one of my designs made into a coin. But now things are looking up thanks to a chance conversation with Mike at Cacheaddicts it looks like they will be producing it. From what I understand they have a few projects in the works and may be coming to my design sometime in March. Hope you like it and I will keep you posted. I Have a few more projects in the works and will post designs as and when I find how i will get them made Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Should do well in Florida. Quote Link to comment
+scificollector Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Nice design JP. I will make sure to show it around to some of the local collectors when it comes out. Should do well in Florida. Don't forget Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama..... Those darn crocs and gators are everywhere. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Tim, I decided that rather than my designs sit collecting dust due to lack of funds I would let a couple of them out of my hands and get my name out there as a coin designer so that when I finally do one for myself it should do ok You can check out a couple of other designs on my new Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/JPs-Geocoins/103625523089318 Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I certainly know the feeling of not wanting to let your ideas out for someone else to do! Alas, that means your ideas might never get done. But soon... Quote Link to comment

+kini_ont Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 YUP... got me a couple. Nice coin Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I know it's quite a simple coin but not bad for a first one But I thought quite a good one for my fellow geocoiners to notice me, as it should appeal to wide range of people. Or at least i hope so Edited March 15, 2012 by jpbarr Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have just received a set of samples from Mike at Cachaddict and believe me when I say...these look so much better in hand than in the photos I am really happy with the way they turned out. Quote Link to comment
+T!mberwolf Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have just received a set of samples from Mike at Cachaddict and believe me when I say...these look so much better in hand than in the photos I am really happy with the way they turned out. I reserved a gold version of this coin a few days ago. I'm just starting to view the discussions here on this forum and came across this post. Very cool coin! I live in Florida and have had experiences with gator hunting; felt this coin would be a neat addition to my collection. Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Still a few of these available, reservations are still open but not sure for how long Quote Link to comment
+Tennessee Jed Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Has anyone received their order? Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have just sent an email to CacheAddict asking the same question. From what I understand the order was given to the mint mid April. As soon as I know something more I will let you all know Thanks for everyones support for my first geocoin and I'm sure everything will be moving along soon. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Has anyone received their order? We haven't paid yet! Quote Link to comment
+Tennessee Jed Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Has anyone received their order? We haven't paid yet! I purchased some on March 26th Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ok, I just heard back from CacheAddict and they have told me that the coins are being shipped from the mint on Friday and should with them by Monday. And I guess all orders will be sent out next week? I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment

+Tennessee Jed Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Will there be a special icon for this coin? Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Will there be a special icon for this coin? I would have liked there to be but as far as I know CacheAddict told me that there would only be an icon if he sold 250 coins but he only ordered 100, I don't know if he is planning to re-mint or not. Sorry I can't help any more than that. Quote Link to comment
