+The Gowen Family Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 We ordered some, and are just waiting for them to come in. Both my husband and I are addictied to Glow in the dark stuff. Quote Link to comment
+woodsters Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Yeah I just looked at them myself...will probably order some. Gotta come up with some kind of art to put on the front opf it and hat I want it to say. Anyone getting theirs numbered? If so, are you going to have a tracking system on them?

+The Gowen Family Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 We are getting ours numbered, so that they can log them into our website if they want and so they know how many we made and what number they have. If people want to use them like a TB, that is ok as well. Quote Link to comment
Triple G Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 That is a great idea! Easy to find in the dark if you lose one of them Da Vinci Geocode Quote Link to comment
+The Gowen Family Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 As to what we put on the front and or back of them. We have art for the front or the back, our name, website for both us and geocaching, the numbers and the year. We really like tokenfactory and I have listed then in a couple of threads about the geocoins. There is a place my husband wants to use some time in the future that has holographics on it, that is really neat as well. I didn't mind where we got them from, as long as the Sig Item, portrayed who we are. Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 This is cool. I like the 'Glow In The Dark' kind to leave in caches done at night. But otherwise, I like creating my own signature tokens (wooden nickels stamped on both sides). Quote Link to comment

But otherwise, I like creating my own signature tokens (wooden nickels stamped on both sides). Hey Geo, do you stamp them yourself? If you do how do you register the stamp to the nickel? I'm having the darnedest time getting the stamp centered. Right now I just hold the stamp upside down and press the token into it. This mostly works but I average 1 out of 5 being too off center to use Team Kender - "The Sun is coming up!" "No, the horizon is going down." Quote Link to comment
+-=(GEO)=- Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Team Kender... Yup, I stamp them myself. Centering is definitely an issue but nothing I get overly worried about. After all, each one is unique. I found out that drinking a couple beers before I start a series instead of coffee works well and makes things more 'centered' ;-) More seriously though...I line up the upper left corner of the 'G' stamp (which looks like my forum sig.) with the edge of the token and press hard for a few seconds. The other side is easier because the stamp is smaller and round. After just a couple tokens, I get into a groove and they all look right. Quote Link to comment
+wannafly Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hmm...how can these be so cheap? It quoted my $10 for 50 of them, numbered, with a custom logo. Anyone that ordered these please post here when you get them and tell us about it! Quote Link to comment
+The Gowen Family Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 We paid 25.00 for 100 of them two sided, glow in the dark and numbered. It all depends on what you put on them and how many colors and stuff. Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I'm giving away secrets here, but there is a glow in the dark acrylic craft paint you can buy that paints on clear, but glows oh so pretty. We are using it for some of our signature stamped wooden geotokens.

+woodsters Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 hmmm..just went to order some of the tokens from Tokenfactory and it quoted me a much higher price! I originally had art on both sides with text and consecutive numbering in the 1 1/2 " size. Quoted me $73. Noticed they are charging added amounts. Changed it around and changed the size to 1 1/8", glow in the dark, art on one side, no numbering and text on both sides. $19 for the tokens, $6 for the "glow in the dark' and a $25 setup (under min. order of 500). Total $50 for 100 tokens? That is crazy. Are people sure they are getting them for a total of $25 for 100?

Fakk 2 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The glow in the dark paint paints on clear? sounds like a cruel joke to play in a multi cache, stop 2, found the cache canister, paper inside blank, unless you look at it in the dark. hmmm. (and no clue that you have to do that.) I bought a GPS. Now I get lost with style. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 OH YEA baby!!! I'm gettin some. I always leave something that glows in the dark when I do a night raid. THANKS! Sngans Think parallel branes and five dimensions. Science never sounded so cool.... Quote Link to comment

With the new art, it uped the price to $70.00 for 100 of them. Quote Link to comment

If you even went with just tax, you are looking at around $45 just for plain tokens (100). Then they add $6 for hte glow in the dark. Man that is a lot. Granted it's only 70 cents a piece, but in one shot. It would be differnet if you could order a handful at a time, but then you still have to pay the $25.

+blazerfan Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I have looked at buying glow in the dark tokens before... but I think I am going to have wooden ones made instead... I haven't really decided but I need a signature item. Wood is cheaper and has more print area, but glowing tokens would be much cooler For all that do have tokens made can I ask that you send me a pic of them? I am looking to start a catalog of known geocoins. --------------------------- Phase 1: Collect Underpants, Phase 2: ???, Phase 3: Profit Quote Link to comment
+CrimsonWrath Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Whoohoo! My glow in the dark tokens from Token Factory arrived today! Now I have to part with 'em? Argh! What was I thinking!? Quote Link to comment
Fakk 2 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Those are sweet looking. Now I just hope some manage to travel out to Ohio. I bought a GPS. Now I get lost with style. Quote Link to comment
+woodsters Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Looks nice Crimson...what size are they? Have you tried to see if they glow good? What did they run you? Brian As long as you're going to think anyway, think big. -Donald Trump Quote Link to comment
+CrimsonWrath Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 They are 1 1/8" diameter. They glow fairly well, but it's hard to tell when you cup your hands to your face with one. It isn't overly bright; more subtle than bright. I think the total for 100 serialzed with an image was going to run about $70, but I had to call them to straighen out some issues and I think I dropped some features so it may have come out cheaper. I haven't seen a bill yet. My goal was a token that was less than $1 each and these have a lot of bang for the buck! Quote Link to comment
+woodsters Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Yeah I was leary about the $70 price...seemed like alot, but when you think about it, it is 70 cents each...less than some of the trading stuff you put in them...

stonefinder Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 found a place today to get tokens for 25$ per 100 look here have vista will travel, I always know were I am because I have my vista Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 If anybody orders from Token Factory and puts the Geocaching logo on the token, please let me know via email. I have a number of signature items but am thinking about doing this as well. If somebody else has the logo that they (Token Factory) has used already, it would make things easier (and undoubtably cheaper) for those of us who follow so we don't have to start from scratch with them. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Eswau Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Found this topic while doing a search on tokens. Now it looks like the min. order is 500 tokens. Anyone ordered from the Token Factory lately? Maybe I'm misreading the pricing/min. order. E Quote Link to comment

Its a clay that burns off to .999 silver. Not too expensive and using PMC3 doesn't require an expensive kiln. Quote Link to comment
+pcmike Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Man, if anyone from this thread who actually bought some of these tokens is ever caught taking part in cache degradation I move to have you banned for good! Just kidding, of course.. but dang, $95 minimum order ($.19x500)? Too rich for my blood for an outdoors hobby! Quote Link to comment

Do they make other metals (ie cheaper metals)? E Quote Link to comment
+j9cache & Mike(j9+M) Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 No, but there are metal letter stamps that can be purchased, and rubber stamps can be used. There's some PMC that is more liquid and can be painted on stuff like leaves and fancy pasta, or a cork form you can buy from the distributor and form shapes yourself. I was thinking that you could stamp out a circle and stamp a design or words into it. On the cheaper side Sculpey clay can be used, but the original idea was for a silver "coin".
