+ECplus3 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Last Summer a local cacher asked me if I had ever seen a geocoin promoting cache maintenance. I couldn't recall one, and after a bit of searching I came to the conclusion that there really wasn't one. So I ran with the idea and came up with this coin. This is a reminder to cache owners and finders alike that you should try to keep caches in good condition for the enjoyment of those that follow you. 42mm square by 3.5mm thick Translucent and glitter enamels Tracking info on edge Trackable and unique icon at Geocaching.com Available finishes: Black Nickel Satin Silver Satin Gold Each finish will be available in 'Needs Maintenance' red and 'Owner Maintenance' green. Satin Silver/green (Owner Maintenance) Satin Silver/red (Needs Maintenance) These coins will be sold as a pre-sale item starting at noon Eastern time on December 30th and running until January 12th.

+Where'sMyMarbles Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 HHmmm.....having a hard time deciding which two are my fave. These will be for presale until January 12th? Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 That is correct. The order will go in to the mint on the 13th. Quote Link to comment
Dofferson_Katch Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I am in for the complete set so that takes away the difficult task of having to choose. Only thing i need to do is to convince our CFO that i really need them. I have till January the 12th to sweet talk her :-) Quote Link to comment
+#Tenzin Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I ordered mine already, a Red Satin Silver one. Along with another nice Coin I noticed on your website. xD Quote Link to comment

Logan Wealing Cachebox Geocaching Store I was happy to buy the whole set from you. I had responded to your email 'cause I'm on your mailing list. I was disappointed to find out that the whole set on the Pale Horse web site is about six dollars (US) cheaper, even if you factor in the shipping costs from Canada. Quote Link to comment

CacheboxStore.com Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just to let everyone know, TODAY is the last day of this presale. Get them on preorder while you still can. Order will be put in tomorrow. Logan Wealing Cachebox Geocaching Store Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ordered mine just in time Quote Link to comment
+#Tenzin Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Are they already send? Because I don't have mine yet... Quote Link to comment
+SirDonB Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Will there be a limited number minted for sale beyond the preorder or is the minting limited to the preorder? I didnt see a listing on your website for any of these ones. Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I keep looking at this coin and every time I see it I like it a bit more. The design is elegantly simple with explosive contrast. Really, really well done! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Are they already send? Because I don't have mine yet... These were sold as a pre-order item. The order went in to the mint on Jan 14th, but with the mint closed for 2 weeks for the Chinese New Year holiday I don't expect to receive them until the end of February. Will there be a limited number minted for sale beyond the preorder or is the minting limited to the preorder? I didnt see a listing on your website for any of these ones. I did order a small number extra in each finish which will be available in the webstore as soon as all orders are filled and shipped.

+ECplus3 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 How are the coins doing? Getting excited to receive them. Same here. The mint has been really slammed due to the long Chinese New Year break. But they are finally caught up and the Maintenance coins were shipped yesterday. I will get them Monday (too late for an event I am hosting tomorrow ) and will get them in the mail Tuesday or Wednesday. Sorry for the long wait everyone, but it is nearly over!
