Norman Geocoins - Can't see the forest for the trees, eh

Recommended Posts

Our group has come out with this concept and will be offering this coin for pre-sale.

We are a very small group of cachers in the remote area of Northern Manitoba, hence the name, NorMan.

It is a simple design, the total number of coins will be 500 and the first 170 coins will be a limited edition Gold border with black nickel with the rest being silver border with Black nickel.

 

Pre sales will close at exactly 170 and invoices will follow shortly after.

Msg me through my profile or leave your name here with your contact information.

Thanks,

Price? Size of coin?

Sorry ment to post that, but it seems morning itiss got to me,

 

At this time we are looking at keeping the coin cost around or below the $10.00 Cdn. This will include shipping.

All proceeds will be turned over to the MBGA for thier education fund and for training new cachers etc.

(This again is subject to change if minting costs increase)

I want to thank everyone for their continued patience in our project.

 

We are now into the sales stage and production is soon to start, if you still want to get in on this one time only coin, then go toNorthbound Trading Company.

 

What a ride, as many of you may know through many of your first coin projects and then thinking will this ever start or end.

 

So here it is,

 

We are now ready to take payments for the Norman Geocoin.

 

Please place your order on the northboundtradingcompany.com for the total number of coins that you express interest for.

The pre-selection list which you where on before will determine if and how many LE coins we will send.

For example, if you expressed interest for 2 LE and 2 Regular place an order for 4 coins. We will ship 2 LE and 2 REG. as per our previous communications.

To commit to your original intention, please place your order by the end of March 19th, 2007.

Once we hit the pre-sell order of 280 coins, the coins will be ordered. We expect to be shipping coins within three weeks of this date.

 

Here is the coin again:8c647806-51d3-4c1e-b93d-1112c523008c.jpg

Update

 

Just a short note to update everyone on the status of this coin.

 

We have been waiting on the factory to send us the final artwork after sending it back several times due to some font and artwork issue we have been having getting this coin just right.

Both Northbound and I want this coin to be both durable and just right before having it begin into production. Remember you only get one chance at getting it right.

 

So far the artwork has exceeded my expectations and I know it will be a great looking coin. We did however expect to hear back from the factory before Friday, but like the saying goes, a watched pot never boils, so I guess it's the same for waiting on a coin too.

I am posting a copy of the artwork we have so far, but remember the fonts and some of the art will be tweeked to finish it off...this is not the final but for those of you who ordered I thought I would tweek your salavation glands some more.

Almost There (Not Approved Version)

 

I will update very soon, and for those who still want to get in on this order they can go to Northbound Trading Company.

Once this is sold out there will be no more as this will be a one time run only.
