+jpbarr Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Ok so here is a treat for you all, I have teamed up with Geocoins by wellner to produce one of my designs and I am giving you the opportunity to make your own version. I have been aiming to do a dragon coin for a while and my wife suggested I do something cuddly So I give you, The Patchwork Dragon. Minimum order is 20pcs. All details and prices can be found here: Patchwork Dragon info I look forward to seeing all the different dragons you can come up with Edited June 17, 2014 by jpbarr Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I cannot wait to see all of them when they are finished. I wouldnt mind making a couple if others only want to do a couple as well as a group. I cannot afford to make 20 of them. Keep On Caching! ~Valarie of sweetlife Quote Link to comment

+Panther&Pine Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It is very cute. As designs are submitted will you be updating the page? Also that way we know who to hit up for trades! If I have till Sept to round up the money I can do a version. Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Is the back going to be plain or will you add a pattern of some sort there? Maybe a repeat of one from the front? Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes we are updating all the time as designs are submitted and approved. You can see all the approved versions here: Approved Dragons All designs need to be in by mid-July and payment by end of September. Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Is the shipping to the US really almost $45 USD? These are really, really cute but I'm not sure I could justify that expense. When do you think they will be in hand? Mid October? Edited June 17, 2014 by LadyBee4T Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Is the back going to be plain or will you add a pattern of some sort there? Maybe a repeat of one from the front? Yes, I was thinking the same thing and we are looking into adding the flowers to the back too I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I will look at other shipping options, but unfortunately this is the prices the Swedish post charges for registred shipping to the US. If I don't use registred I would have to hit you with the Swedish VAT which would be $42,50... /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 We will have the samples in our hands in the beginning of july, and have enough interest to order a first batch almost immediately. It would be really cool if I could present the shop versions on the Mega in Sweden on the 2nd of august, but I think that this would be rather tight, especially if we will redesign the backside. /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+Moozer Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I would love to get some of these, but the extra shipping to the USA makes it really difficult to justify. Do you have any interest in having someone in the US act as intermediary for US orders? We could receive them direct from the mint, then send them using our lower shipping costs...

That sounds like a great option! I've done something along that line before. Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm open to make a reseller deal with one of the established companies. Please contact me if you are interested. /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+nevadanick Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'd be in for doing that ... both participating and the actual shipping. Being retired gives me and the partner coin addict plenty of extra time for 'projects' like this ... Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Unfortunately, I do not think I can afford participate, but this is an AWESOME coin and project!!!! So cool and cute jpbarr!! I LOVE the design!!! I will definitely be watching this thread and maybe hope to obtain some dragons. Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 We have ordered 12 different samples (the first 12 on the info page) and many of them will be available as shop versions, so even if you can't spare the money for 20 coins there is still a posibility to own a Patch Dragon geocoin of your own. Thanks for the offer, nevadanick, I still hope that one of the US coin stores will step forward and act as a reseller of those coins. =) /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+Moozer Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 But would a US coin store allow us to get our own editions, or would they just resell the shop versions you create? If you would be willing to allow someone here to manage the receiving and shipping of US participants, I think you'll get a lot more involvement. Quote Link to comment
+nevadanick Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Our edition details have been sent. Quote Link to comment

I'm not a coin company but do manage the MIGO online store. I believe the reason they would prefer a USA retailer make that deal is they could ship the reseller coins to them as well as the group coins and make some deal to get the US group coins reshipped while receiving their in-store inventory for resale. Don't see how they would want to eliminate shipping to the group participants. Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Okay, folks! Here is the first photos from the mint of the samples. We have also listened to you and made another backside with the same floral pattern as the front. The text "The Patchwork Dragon" is also raised to the surface, making it more visible if you use non-transparent colors. Backside A, the old backside Backside B, the new backside I expect to have the samples in my hand in the middle of the next week, then I will calculate shipping costs. Quote Link to comment
+Carponen Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 These turned out great looking, so glad to be part of this group coin. I know I asked before but any word yet on if there will be any kind of trade? Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Interesting. I might have to get in on these. When is the last day to submit a design? Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No last day decided yet - but I guess we will be ordering rather soon. Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Regarding trade. There are more versions than the minimum order quantity, so we might not be able to do a trade where everybody trades with everybody. I'm looking at the possibilitys to make a trade like the math trades. Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 can I get in on someone's order? I really like these, if someone will let me join, please contact me thru my geocaching profile. Thank You. Keep On Caching! ~Valarie of sweetlife Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Okay, good news! 20 coins weight less than 500 gram wich means much lower shipping rates. 20 coins will cost approximately 170 euro inside EU and 190 USD to the US, and that is including shipping. Extra cost for special enamels may apply. We will order the coins on the 4th of August and will send out an information email to the peole who have already ordered shortly. /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+wellner Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We have now closed the ordering for the first batch of the Patchwork dragon Geocoin. We have 50 versions including some shop versions. /Fredrik Quote Link to comment
+BVnLJ Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi Fredrik, was just wondering is these were ordered on August 4th as stated in your previous post, or are they being ordered now with the 50 different versions you are referring to as the first batch. Thanks, LJ Quote Link to comment
