+Pan314159 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Just wondering... How many will be minted of each of the RE editions? How many of the LE? Quote
+TrinIzzyCar Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Guess what I got today:) Wow these are amazing!! Greatjob! Quote
+kini_ont Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 They are..... Marvellous. In my mailbox yesterday had to wait till today to get a picture of them. Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Just wondering... How many will be minted of each of the RE editions? How many of the LE? To date, we've only made a short run of each finish to see if they would be more well received in a particular finish. To our surprise, there doesn't seem to be a particular favorite so far. We've talked a lot about the pros and cons of producing a larger number of coins, but we're both in agreement, that keeping smaller numbers with better "collectability" as a focus is in everybody's best interest. To date only 100 (or less) have been made of each finish and we want to keep the LE at a significantly lower number than the others (about a 1-10 ratio vs the REs). Quote

So does that mean 30 LEs since there are 100 each of 3 colors or 10 LEs? Quote
+Losdelrio Team Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The coin is very, very pretty but international shipping is very, very expensive . Quote

So does that mean 30 LEs since there are 100 each of 3 colors or 10 LEs? No, it's based on the total run of coins when production ends. Final numbers will be out when we've finished, but as I said, we ran a short run of each finish to start before deciding how many total we would create. Final numbers will be posted when we retire this design. I collect coins myself so I understand the collector's desire to acquire coins with a lower production number and I intend to collect a few of these for my own portfolio and collection. Quote
+Bartians Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Wait and see for totals. Guess it partly depends on initial response of buyers. Quote

Thanks for the reply - I'll keep watching here for the final numbers. Just waiting for my coins to turn up now. Has anyone else in the UK/Europe got their coins yet? Quote

+famerlor_dragon Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Mine is due on Friday but it's private and personal transport in economy class from a U.S. address. Quote
+Pan314159 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I just checked the tracking on mine. They were posted on the 14th, left Texas on the 15th, and passed through Chicago yesterday! Excited now! Quote
+famerlor_dragon Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Is it just me, or is the Antique Gold one with a green back and the Antique Bronze with a red one? Mine looked sort of unfamiliar in the mail today. (Not that I chose gold because of the back...) Edited March 21, 2014 by famerlor_dragon Quote

Mine looked sort of unfamiliar in the mail today. (Not that I chose gold because of the back...) All four coins have different colour backs. Mine arrived today. Quote
+Pan314159 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I'm having a lot of difficult deciding which one to activate. I was going to activate the LE one (I really like the copper dragon), but now that I've seen them, I also really love the dark nickel on shiny gold RE one... I may activate both... Dunno... Quote
+Murazor Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 The dragons arrived today and they look great, surely competing with CW88's scarabs for the title of the coolest geocoin I've seen. Chris & Beverly, please check your e-mail boxes, I've sent you something... Quote
+Xork42 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 just got mine from post ... central europe, quite fast for simle post look interesting, one think was really not seen on pictures before muheheheh Quote
+Bartians Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I've looked at this coin everyday since it's minting. Don't necessarily care for dragons but have been drawn to this coin. Beautiful artwork and unusual function. Finally gave into my desire today and purchased the set. Can't wait till they arrive. Quote
