+Dashing Surveyor Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 We are currently working on a new Version of our Hase & Igel Geocoin. It has the hare and hedgehog (as yin/yang) on its frontside and the story of the race between those two is shown (simplified) on its backside. (This story is similar to the one with the tortoise & hare) There will be 10 versions (4 RE, 3 LE and 3 XLE) of the coin and 2 extra AE. We have just received the samples from the factory and still have changes on 4 of the versions because the colors on these didn't work out that nice. Once they are ready (they are expected in November this year) they will be available in our store and most likely in some other online-shops (when the time comes I will post a link here). I have made some pictures of the versions that will go into production as shown. Would be nice if you could give me some feedback on them Thank you Dashing Surveyor 1-Spring (Silver) 2-Summer (Gold) 3-Autumn (Copper) 5-Vintage Day (Silver/Gold) 6-Vintage Dawn (Antique Bronze) 7-Night & Day (Black Nicke/Gold) 10-Earth (Chrome) 12-Treasure AE (Foggy Gold/ Foggy Silver) For more detailed pictures goto Cache Zone Buxtehude Quote

+nevadanick Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Do you plan on making your own store available in an English version ?? Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Do you plan on making your own store available in an English version ?? Usually we don't sell our products online because we only have a very little store that we run in spare-time work. So I don't quite find the time to translate our website into English and since we didn't ship our products in the past there actually was no need for it. But we already have some online-shops that are interested in selling some of our new coins that also ship worldwide, so that the coins will probably be available in stores with an English version. In addition I am thinking of opening an english online-store (on FreeWebstore) especially for coins that we will produce. So there should be a lot of options of getting one of these coins I will keep you up to date on the this. Thanks Dashing Surveyor Edited October 21, 2013 by Dashing Surveyor Quote
Dofferson_Katch Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Love the Day & night, Earth and AE ones, Any indication on the price they will be sold at ? Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 Love the Day & night, Earth and AE ones, Any indication on the price they will be sold at ? I hope to be able to sell them at 10 - 12 Euro. At least that is the price I had in mind. But I still have to wait for the final invoice from the factory. Quote

But let us not count chicken before they hatch . I have to get the final invoice first in order to make an actual price for these coins. I will let you know as soon as I have an update on that. Quote
+GeoCharmer81 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I would love to add some of these Coins to my collection. Are they available for sale to ship to the USA? Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted December 12, 2013 Author Posted December 12, 2013 I would love to add some of these Coins to my collection. Are they available for sale to ship to the USA? I already have online-shops that are interested in selling some of those coins in their shops. One of them is the Cache-Kontor Hamburg that (as far as I know) also ships to the USA. Our small shop will only ship these coins inside Germany. Here is an update on the production of the coins: The coins should have been far ready by now, but the workers in the factory keep on complaning that the coins are so hard to do, especialy the coloring of the detailed backside. Well they did get the artwork before and they should have known better On November 18th they had finished 7 of the 12 versions. Anyway the newes info is that they estimate the shipping of the coins by December 18th. So let us see if they can hold that date. I will let you know as soon as they are in and also post some pictures of the coins. regards Dashing Surveyor Quote

+fbingha Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I would really like to get the 10-Earth (Chrome) Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 The coins are finaly ready and on their way to our shop. Unfortunately they haven't quite made it for Xmas As soon as they arrive I will try to upload some pictures and give you some more info on where you will be able to buy them. As for now I wish you all a nice Christmas Holiday and a happy New Year Regards Dashing Surveyor Quote
+GeoCharmer81 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Great news!!! It seems more appropriate to have them for the New Year, anyway!!! I suspect I'm not the only one waiting (patiently?) for them!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!! Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 The Hase & Igel Geocoins have finally arrived The coin's theme is about a story of a race between the hare and the hedgehog that (so it is said) took place in our home town Buxtehude near Hamburg, Germany. To make it short, the hedgehog won the race because he used his head rather than run like hell, as the hare did. You can find the whole story in English here: http://www.buxtehude.de/v1/upload/Tourismus/Maerchen/hase_und_igel_englisch.pdf It is a bit similar to the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare that might be a little more popular in the States. Translated the German motto to the story "Wozu Rasen Lern vom Hasen" means "Why rush, learn from the hare". As there is no equivalent to this motto in the English language I tried to find something that gets the meaning of it and finally found "USE YOUR HEAD TO SAVE YOUR FEET" which I find perfect for geocaching. I often see geocachers rushing from cache to cache not finding the time to really understand the way an owner intended the cache to be solved and whose only intension is to retrieve the log (by any means) to achieve certain statistics. Maybe if they find the coin in a cache or see it at an event it might open their eyes a little ;-) We will sell 10 versions (1-10) of the coin (5 RE, 2 LE and 3 XLE). 1-Spring (Silver)= 65 coins 2-Summer (Gold)= 65 coins 3-Autumn (Copper)= 65 coins 4-Winter (Satin Silver) = 65 coins 5-Vintage Day XLE (Silver/Gold) = 30 coins 6-Vintage Dawn XLE (Antique Bronze) = 30 coins 7-Night & Day XLE (Gold/Black Nickel) = 30 coins 8-Night (Black Nickel) = 65 coins 9-Frost LE (Nickel)= 40 coins 10-Earth LE (Chrome) = 40 coins 11-Buxtehude AE (Satin Gold)= 10 coins 12-Treasure AE (Foggy Silver/Foggy Gold) = 10 coins • 50mm diameter • 3mm thick • custom Icon • trackable on geocaching.com As I mentioned before customers inside Germany can buy a limited number of them here starting Januar 11th. You can already see pictures of the different editions there. For all others I will post a link to shops that will have our coins in their stores for shipment outside Germany as soon as I know more details. Regards Dashing Surveyor Quote
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Very nice coin!! Not sure how I missed this thread... Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 I promised to give you an info on where to get those coins in case you live outside of Germany. I will be bringing some few coins (only 90 coins in total) to a local geocachingshop hear in Hamburg coming Wednesday (01/15/2014). They also ship outside of Germany. So if you are interested, please contact the store directly. The store is the Cache Kontor in Hamburg. Or contact the store owner directly via email. Regards Dashing Surveyor Quote
+sweetlife Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I really love the colored version the blue and green, Would be interested inn seeing the two AE versions, Hope you will be open for a trade. Quote
+drneal Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 left a message at the website...hoping to purchase ! ILYK ILYL Quote
+mamoreb Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I know this story! And the coin is very well done. There is much thought behind this design! I like many of the versions, especially the bare metal ones. I suppose those will be hard to get... Quote
+GeoCharmer81 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The Coins are not on said website, yet. Also, it doesn't seem to have an English translator. Trying my best to get a set of these!!! Quote
+drneal Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 if anyone is getting a bunch of them and wants to go together on shipping, let me know...if I added correctly a single coin was not quite $50 USD...shipping was the larger part of that charge ILYK ILYL Quote
+GeoCharmer81 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I ordered the set of ten. The shipping for the set was 25 Euros. Conversion at that moment was 1 USD = 0.7154 EUR. Maybe a bit expensive, but I wanted them. I AM NOT addicted to Geocoins!!!!!! Quote
Soneek Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hello to everybody =) Enybody can upload all ten pictures of this nice coin??? Quote
+Dashing Surveyor Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Hello to everybody =) Enybody can upload all ten pictures of this nice coin??? You can find pictures of all ten editions here or if you prefer one picture with all ten editions take this one here Regards Dashing Surveyor Quote
