Gary Burke aka CoinCrusader Memorial Medallion

[Nevol]

Make sure you've got me down for a tribute medal honoring the CoinCrusader. (Done)
p.s: Doug, one of the admins at Coin Talk, says he's sorry about Gary's passing and suggested I post there once the medals are ready to their open forum.

edix, Do you think we should order some spares for members of 'Coin Talk'?  Would you be able to ask them for an estimate of how many may be needed?  We wouldn't want anyone to miss out as it will be a one off minting, but by the same token, we don't want to have a lot of them left over. 

Nohope has already ordered 4 extras, but I'm not sure which forum they might be for.

I've also just put up a post on the Aussie forum (ACBO) but haven't mentioned the medallions yet, but if there are many responses, I probably will do so.  There may be 1 or 2 members there who would be interested in obtaining one.

It would probably be best if someone explained this is basically a subscription order? Any member here can place the order or, if they like they can send the order and payment directly to me. It would be ideal if they could just order from Daniel but then we would be putting a burden on him. I really don't know how much interest there might be away from KOTCT but I am not opposed to offering this memorial tribute to the world. Gary Burke has been a coin crusader since I found him on my first computer. We have been friends ever since and I know, without a doubt, there are others throughout the world who feel the same way.

Before I leave internet land..
Up my order to 8
payment sent.

why 8?
not because I know 8 people who knew Coincrusader and wanted a medallion. I know 3 who are no longer active in any forums who might be interested.  This project however is going to be very rapid compared to most minting and I am sure there will be people who will miss out through lack of knowledge. I will try to have a small overage on hand to cover this eventuality. If it turns out they are not needed at some date in the future i'll turn them over to KOTCT to be given as awards to who ever they see fit.

Nevol you can mark NoHope PAID at this time. This medallion will be struck in April so it is very important that we get our orders in and make payment in a timely manner. I know this quest was very sudden but in my mind no one would be more worthy than our friend and his family from Colorado. Those grandchildren will cherish their medallions for a lifetime and they will learn as they grow older it takes a pretty darn special knight to warrant the striking of a medalion! Gary was that special!

I sent a PM to Jon Burke, Gary's nephew this morning (Oz time).  Gave him info re the Medallion plus a link to our forum & invited him to look around or better still to join.  He's interested in getting at least 1 medallion, maybe more.

Do you have a firm price for this medallion as yet.   Also what about postage.

Once I have figure will send payment thu PayPal as gift so KOTCT do not pay the fees.

I may be going out on a limb here but let's just go with $3.00 for shipping per member order. I know there will be a few who purchase more than one medallion but I think it will all balance out in the end. I will also be sending any and all Aussie member orders to one address (I hope) so that should balance out as well. Any comments?

Nevol you can go ahead and mark Templar paid for his medallion even though the check has not arrived here in Indiana. Templar says it's is in the mail and thats good enough for me as I want to keep our figures moving upward on this quest. It is going to be a quick one! I might add it is important that each of you let me know for certain what you are paying for as I am still awaiting some payments on the 2009 medallions and I don't want to screw things up! Thanks!

Payment sent via Paypal.

[Pocketcoins]

Just waiting on the how much and will pay-pal you just as soon as I know. You may have already said but I must have missed it.

[Twoshadows]

Hey Nevol I have Tobyle's payment now so give her some good ole Aussie "PAID" stamp of approval.

Pocketcoins each medallion will be $20 and each member, regardless of where he or she lives, will pay $3.00 for first class shipping. I will have to purchase bubble mailers for the 2009 medallion quest so I will just buy some extra for this quest at the same time!

Hello guys. A nephew of Gary's posted in this thread: http://www.cointalk.com/t99077/ over on cointalk. He is interested in some medals. I Pmed him telling him I was a member of KOTCT and that I could put him in touch  with someone that he could directly order some of the CoinCrusader memorial medals from.
