I cant wait to get this coin!

Thank you for taking the time to provide this service having these coins made!

Chris

I have updated the list. If I have missed your name or if you need me to make a correction on Post 1 Page 1 of this thread please send me a pm.

I have been away from home for the last 5 days but will be home for a while now. I will get the details ironed out so that we can proceed to production quickly. If you still have not paid for the coins that you have requested please do so at your earliest convenience. Thank you and have a great week.

Tomorrow when I get caught up with the details again I will post a schedule of events that will take place this week. Thanks for being a part of this project. It is a bit of a departure from the previous coins that we have made but I am very excited about seeing them in person.

Thanks again!

Just to clarify, if we didn't select any custom engraving then we get trackable coins, right?

Robert

That is correct. Unless you specifly request custom engraving and it is shown in the list on page 1, you will receive coins with a tracking number.

There is no extra charge custom engraving. A custom engraved coin can not be trackable if you intend to use it for geocaching.

im excited for my coins are they shipped yet

They will go into production later this week or early next week. This is not a quick thing but it won't take six months like the original run. We have it down to about six weeks start to finish. I wish it could happen faster for everyone. The only thing I can say is that they are worth the wait.

Just in case you didn't see it, (edited post on first page and included with paypal), would like my coins engraved with 1)SAGE, 2)REALITY,3)CRS. Don't see where it was updated with note of my payment, so thought I should maybe point it out.

Looking forward to the new edition, and extending my thanks again for coming up with this idea in the first place, keeping it going like you have, and all your efforts to organize each run and attend to all the details.

These are one of my favorite Fiero collectables to date.

Thanks and HAGO!

Sage, thank you for pointing that out. I had missed it. I have fixed it on Page 1, Post 1. (That is the list that I will be ordering directly from. The list on this page in quotes is for reference only and will not be updated).

They will certainly be different from the coins we have done in the past and will have a distinct feel about them. They are the first of their kind. Since we have never done a coin without any paint or epoxy it is completely new territory. We have an excellent manufacturer, and I am working with a new girl named Christy, who has been great. I have high hopes for this edition.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a moment to make sure your request is listed correctly on Page 1, Post 1. I will be going back through to make sure everything is accurate tomorrow and will be finalizing the order Thursday morning so we can proceed to production.

payment sent

Whew I just barley made the deadline.

2 coins

1st with 88GT "ZAP"
2nd - Geotracker number

Thanks for putting this together.

I got it already. Thanks Zap. Welcome to the project.

RACE, I just sent my payment via paypal. Unfortunately, in my haste to get it to you (I haven't been on the forum for a couple of days), I forgot to put my screen name and shipping address in the comments section. I sent you an email with the information. Thank you again for putting this together!

litespd, I have received your payment. Thanks.

Today I placed our deposit and production will begin on Monday. Our order has been officially finalized. I have also paid for the tracking numbers and should receive them shortly. If I had to guess I would expect to receive the coins around August 8. I will get a more accurate date from Christy on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Three cheers and Huzzah! I'm excited to see how different this coin will look from version 5!

Payment sent and a free bump

At least the cost of the tracking #'s, even with the increase, will not be to bad. Given that only 41 of the ones being produced of the 105 are trackable.

Annie from Groundspeak sent me the tracking numbers today. I have sent our completed engraving list to the manufacturer. I hope to be able to give you a target completion date tomorrow.

These will almost be as cool as the Double Eagles from the T/OT thread!

I hope so. Annie sent me a copy of the art work for approval. One thing needed to be changed. Hopefully I will get the corrected version today and we will proceed.

Update 07-25-2011 Our coins are in production. They have forwarded our engraving list to the engravers and everything is a GO. Christy emailed me today and told me that we will know the target completion date in a few days. I will pass it along as soon as I hear from her. I thought that they would have let me know that information sooner. Sorry about that.

[This message has been edited by RACE (edited 07-25-2011).]

Our estimated completion date is 8/12. The coins should arrive at my house sometime around 8/17. I will get them sorted, packaged and shipped soon thereafter.

Update 08-01-2011 I have been away for a few days but just completed our final payment for the geocoins. Nothing is standing in the way for them to ship to me once they are completed.

Update 08-06-2011 Nothing new to report other than roduction appears to be on schedule. I just wanted to keep you in the loop.

[This message has been edited by RACE (edited 08-06-2011).]

Nice...thanks for the update RACE!

Robert

Yea, but only if the GeoCoins were gold and not silver

Still stuck on gold. I promise they will still be something you will like.

Hehehe a little jabbing, but all meant in good fun! I can't wait to see them, I am sure they are gonna look amazing!

I am curious though, you said you had to approve the artwork, and make a small change. I thought the artwork had to remain exactly the same, with the permission from GM and all for the coins.....

It had to do with the recessed areas. I had wanted it to be smooth but they said that when they are produced the surfaces are slightly uneven and look better if the recessed areas had a sandblasted finish. I ended up following their recommendations. The coins will be the same artwork as before.

My prototype no-paint coin had the same sandblasted finish in the recessed areas and really looks good in person, especially in sunlight. I am confident that it will be a good result with the antique finish on the raised areas.

I received an email from Christy today. She said our coins should ship Monday or Tuesday.

So someone should be awesome and sell me one so I can put it in my car. I didn't even know this existed till just now.

Our coins are traveling. They have begun the first leg of the journey to you. According to UPS they will be on my doorstep sometime on the 18th. I will need about 12 working hours to sort and package them. If all goes well the coins will be in the mail again via USPS on The 20th. Those if you in the Midwest should begin receiving them soon after.

I can't wait but I will.

Nice...thanks for the updated info!

Robert

Sounds good! Hopefully you can snap a picture of one of em when you get them to hold us over

Our coins had their arrival scan in Richmond VA. at 10:21pm. I will provide updates about their location as often as I can.
