John, If you scroll further down to 13-Oct-2011, you will see the ordering instructions.

I would be interested in purchasing 4 DS Challenge Coins. Just need to know who and where.

Please remind folks to keep their profile e-mail address current.

To communicate with Paul regarding DS coins, sent him an e-mail or a private message.

I'm interested in a coin or two if you still have any

I am interested in 2 coins, still have them?

Got all my "A" School book, found them in the attic, Anyone interested in them (Free) Let me know!

Thank you Paul, I received mine from Matt and it looks great.

New Coin Prices! Since I have sold out of the first batch, whose prices included the costs of having the dies made, and am now starting on the second batch, whose prices do not include die costs, the prices have come down a little. I've starting shipping in boxes, which increased shipping costs a little, so the effect is less for lower quantities (almost none for only one coin). Here are the current prices: one coin for $7.84, two for $13.00, three for $18.34, four for $23.50, and five for $28.84. Some of you who have sent me a recent order (last day or so) at the old prices will get a refund. The second batch was 100 coins. At the current rate of sales, this should last about a month. There are quite a number of you who have inquired about purchasing, but who haven't yet sent me an order. GOYB!

Orders for the DS challenge coins have fallen off quite a bit and I still have significant inventory. Those of you who wanted more than 5 coins initially can now submit an additional order, again for up to five coins.

It seems appropriate that today is the 236th birthday of the U.S. Navy and I received the box of coins. They look great. The following are the prices - which differ a bit from what I said before because the weight of the coins (1.675 oz) are a bit more than I thought and the postage is consequentially higher. I will be sending them first class mail. I am also charging a little for packaging. 1 Coin $7.87, 2 Coins $13.90, 3 Coins $19.94, 4 Coins $26.14, 5 Coins $32.35. Prices are non-linear because postage fees are too. To order, send me an email at mailto:pkat1979@gmail.com with your shipping address and the quantity of coins you want AND go to paypal.com and send the EXACT amount to the same email address. DO NOT select the "Buying Something" option as they will charge me a small fee and that will piss me off as that charge is not accounted for in my pricing. If you do this I will reject your order and refund your money. Pick either "Friends and Family" or "Buying Something with a Cash Advance" this will charge you a $0.45 fee. If you happen to live/work in the Northern Virginia area, near Falls Church or Tyson's, I may be persuaded to meet you somewhere convenient (to me), in which case each coin will be $5.87. Don't bother asking for more than five coins at this time, as I only have 150 and want to be sure I have enough to most people. When I run low, I will order more.

Uploaded final design for DS challenge coin to MISC photo gallery. I ordered 150 and expect to be able to offer them for $7 including postage and packaging. I think that I will have to set a limit of 5 per person for this first batch (sorry Greg), just to make sure I have enough to go around. They won't be ready for another three to six weeks, so don't get too anxious. I will look into PayPal.

I have uploaded a proposed design for a DS challenge coin to the Misc section of the photo gallery. I would appreciate any comments, both positive and negative. Thank you.

I have uploaded some pics of the Blue Angels to the Misc Photo Gallery

Sorry! Was transferring all of the websites I host to a new dedicated server. Migrated out of the basement. Should be faster now.

This site seems a little sluggish the last few days, maybe it is time for a re-boot?

Happy Birthday, Dave!

Happy Holidays, to all how ever you celebrate it.
