+Bull Moose Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 If somebody's package shows up with coin #50 you'll recieve tons of good karma if you forward it to it's intended owner - Me! I'll be sure to check my package. I need karma. The good kind, at least. Quote Link to comment

Sorry, but it is not your coins. Peace, Nolenator I saw you grabbed my TB. I was supposed to get that a month ago and totally forgot about it. Thanks.

+Bull Moose Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Your lucky!I just got a call from UPS they are on strike! Not sure if its just in Canada.... Is it UPS or Canadian customs? I heard there were some issues with a work slow down with Canadian customs. Quote Link to comment
+Dagg Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Just got clarification The teamsters in eastern Canada gave 72 hour strike notice. Basically this only affects pick ups in Canada today. UPS will know more on Sunday. I guess I will use FedEx today BTW sorry to take this OT Quote Link to comment
+True Grid Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) Hot dadgum! I got my coins today and they are awesome. I seem to have captured #41, too. The rest are in the 1200's. Now where am I going to put my first coin??? Maybe it's time to set out a new geocache in the area. And if I ever run into Lucy and Rickie the drinks are on me. GREAT JOB!

+Nurse Dave Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hehe, ooops. Got my second shipment of coins today. I think we placed one when it all first started and forgot and then placed a second one. Hmmm, are geocoins an appropriate Christmas gift for non-cachers? Quote Link to comment

If you've got extras, some of us that didn't get any, due to getting into this too late, might like to take them off your hands...either for the same price you paid or maybe even a little profit...

+Team Tillery Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Got my 5 coins today (including #51). WOW! Very nice. The epoxy is a really nice touch and the numbers are extremely easy to read. This is the best looking coin in my collection. Quote Link to comment

+KC0GRN Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Whoohoo! Got mine today. No low number in my batch though (got 2, maybe I needed to buy more for a lower number, oh well) 763 and 762. Well, one's a Minnesota area code.. not mine though. Little north of me. They definately look the best in person though, great design. Now I'm here wondering about getting my own coin minted, if I went as cheap as possible... Quote Link to comment
+Square Bear Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Wahoo mine came in today also with #16. Rose is happy with the number since it is her birthday. Thanks L&R they look great. Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 got mine today too. nice coins. rather disapointing though. all mine are in the 1200's Quote Link to comment
+Shoknaw Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Got my coins today and they are truly amazing. Went caching with Hairy Plotter and lorded it over him all day. He had to hold the coin three times. (He had his when I got him home) I did unusually good today (found 7). When I would get within about 50 feet of the cache it started making noises. If you listen carefully it sounded like over hear over hear. These coins are magic. I tried but could not part with a coin today. Maybe next time. I never win at lotteries, but I got 0000000000090. When can we order the 05's Happy caching Shoknaw Quote Link to comment

Would begging and pleading help you make up your mind? Last I heard the going rate was $7* - and that was last Saturday. These may be a good investment if the rate of increase continues! *L&R couldn't believe someone paid me that much (or was it that I took that much) at the TB swap.

+GeekGirl Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Aw bummer...no joy in coinville. Maybe mine will make the long trek from Puyallup to Auburn next week... Quote Link to comment
+Gizmo & Brazin Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Seems like ages since I have been on this page or went Geocaching! Mostly because it has. Long story short, we sold out house in the city and moved out to the country. Love the new house, but the commute is a drag. However, because of all out focus on fixing our old house to sell, finding a new house, etc. we had to put caching on the back burner. Which brings me to the Geocoin page. I do have my mail forwarded, and my email address did not change, if someone tried to reach us, but when were the coins sent? Who can I check with to see if/when mine were sent. I ordered/paid for them in the early days. Any help is apprecieted. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Team Levy Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Is there a way to check on the status of my order? I still haven't received the coins I ordered way back when. I know my order was placed in time (there were only 800 or so coins ordered at the time I placed my order) so now I'm just waiting patiently (not so much I guess ;-) How do I follow up on the order status? Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment

lucyandrickie Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Inquiries about orders should be sent to us. It will help us if you send the name that was used to pay for them. Quote Link to comment

+Og's outfit Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I got my co-weens, I got my co-weens!! They are AWESOME!!! Thank you to everyone who made these coins possible! Quote Link to comment
+the4Grays Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Whoo WHOO !!!!!!!!!! They finally showed. I thought the UPS man got lost. Got #39 for the low coin and 443-451 in the series. They look great. The girls are all excited. Now we must go Caching this weekend and try to find a great place to drop one off. Thanks to all that helped design the coins and a special thanks to L&R for taking on the duties for shipping the coins out. Steve Quote Link to comment
+cooperdog Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Woot. Got mine too. They are awesome looking Nice work to all who made this happen. mine are numbered #98.....and #'s 280-283 SWEET. Thanks L+R for the reassurance that they were indeed on their way. Quote Link to comment
+Stump Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Okay, I've been reading about people seeing these coins and how great they looked and thought it was just people excited about getting coins. But when we got ours today I have to admit the reactions were justified. They really do look awesome in person. Thanks everyone who helped put these together. Quote Link to comment
+Stump Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Woo Hoo! Just noticed I ended up with coin #5 (and the 590 series). Quote Link to comment

+hammerjane Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Woohoo!!! I was very happy to find that the UPS man had visited today and left me coins! I'm also very lucky. They had been treated pretty rough on the trip to Alabama. The package was open on one end and the coins fell out when I picked up the package. To my surprise all was well! All coins were there and in great condition! These coins are great! Excellent job! Quote Link to comment
+DuncanClan Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Of course I would like to find a WA coin in a cache! However, I would also like to have one for my collection. Sooo... If anyone is willing to "offset their cost" for 1 WA coin, I would be happy to help . I do not have many geocaching coins to trade, and missed the purchase window...yeah, yeah, procrastination at it's best. I do however have quite a few military coins if you would prefer to trade. (I can post a picture if there are any takers). This way, if I find one in a cache that is already activated, I can move it on its way! leduncan_@msn.com Quote Link to comment
+Square Bear Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 DuncanClan, catch me at work or send me an email we might be able to work out a deal. Quote Link to comment
Team Levy Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Okay... Defender1 was right. Patience is a virtue it seems. I posted the typical "how do I check the status of my order" message and low and behold... I get home from work and I have a nice little package with five coins in it!!! Not only that... but Lucy and Rickie were so amazingly kind enough to give me #9!!! The other four were 1146-1149. #9 is perfect to start my geocoin collection. Thanks so much for putting all of the hard effort into organizing the WA St Geocoin!!! Quote Link to comment
