Sultana Coins now shipping!

Late last week I was happy to receive a package that the mailman complained to me was a little heavy. Inside were 100 recently minted coins showing Rev. Chester Berry one one side, and the Sultana on the other.
Thanks to everyone who have already ordered these coins - some have already been sent, and the rest will go out today (Monday).

For everyone else, while there are still plenty of coins left I'm certain these won't last long, so I encourage you to place your order soon. In order to allow as many people as people to obtain a copy for their family I now have a three coin per order maximum.

Orders can be placed one of two ways - sent by mail with check or money order, or through an online donation via Amazon Payments.

The pricing structure is as follows, and includes shipping:
$10.50 = 1 coin*
$19.50 = 2 coins*
$27.50 = 3 coins*
(*online payments require an additional .50 cents per order but save you the cost of a stamp!)

For mail orders, please email me first at sultana@gmail.com to with the quantity you'd like and I'll respond with my mailing address and confirm the total.
