+jpbarr Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) As these are now in production I thought I would let you know about my Christmas coin. I wanted to bring something from my childhood and hopefully yours as well. Christmas in England ment Christmas cards and my Grandmother always had hers hanging around the house, most of them being traditional Victorian scenes. Another tradition that I grew up with was writing a letter to Father Christmas and getting it to the postbox before the postman came. This was the idea behind this coin a traditional Christmas card with many memories attached Name: The Christmas Card Size: 60mm x 45.7mm Trackable on Geocaching.com Custom icon. There will be 3 versions: RE Antique Silver: 150 LE Antique Gold: 100 AE Antique Bronze: 50 Each will come with it's own box and will have the design as the official icon embossed on the lid in gold foil. In the photo you see the box and the stamp will replace the other design. I am hoping to have them by the end of November - first week of December hopefully giving enough time to get to everyone before Christmas. The AE version will only be available in sets and will not be sold on their own. If you would like one of these coins or the full set please let me know as I am now taking reservations so I can ship out as soon as I have them.

+jpbarr Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Guess I should have put that Ok, so here are the prices: RE €15 - LE €17 - Set of 3 €45 + shipping I am not 100% on the shipping as I am not sure of the combined weights but a set of 3 should not be more than €9.40 worldwide, with tracking Quote Link to comment

Dofferson_Katch Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I wonder if there is any space to do some custom engraving, like to add a personal message when sending out cards :-) Quote Link to comment
+jpbarr Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Unfortunately not, due to the enamels but as each coin comes in it's own box there is place to put a note in Quote Link to comment
