A Round Tuit Geocoin

Woa, it's a new coin by Chris Mackey! It is not only beautiful but it adds a slap of humor as well. For all your buddies who never have time to finish puzzle caches, multis or log a find you can now give them a round tuit, geocoin that is. This handy little coin works as a cypher coin as well, and may help you with some puzzle caches. Nice coin Chris! The Geocoin Store has it value priced at $7.50 plus s/h here.

A stack of new coins at the Swag

Geoswag has several new coins here. The Evil Micros are probably the most anticipated, but we have a funny Cacher On Board Geocoin, and a non-trackable TFTC coin too. Single Evil Micro V2 coins are $4.97 plus ship, but you can also buy a 3 or 5 pack. The multi-packs contain LE versions of the coin.















The Cacher On Board geocoin pokes fun at how cachers make frequent and erratic stops! This coin is $6.50 for the regular and $7.00 for the LE. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I think one is nickel and the other is black nickel.















Finally we have the TFTC non-trackable. This is an inexpensive little coin to drop. They are about $3 each and are 1.5".

On the back of each coin is "Ciad Mile Failte". This is Scottish Gaelic for A Hundred Thousand Welcomes. Also "Lorgadh sibh e aig:" is Scottish Gaelic for "you will find it at".

An interesting coin from 3 Geeks here. This coin will be for sale early in March.

07 Wildlife Muggles soon

This has turned into a great little series! I think everyone has now seen these coins with those mettlesome muggling animals... very funny coins. This year turns out Bucky Beaver and ol' Sneaky Antlers, picking off a bison tube with his horns. I think my favorite is still Nibbler Nutnabber :D. These are coming to a forest near you, but you can get the coins soon here. Thanks for the update Paula!

Crake closes Symbology LE set sales

As promised Crake closed LE sales. I tested him, :) sorry Chris, and sure enough he is turning people away. LE is a new term for Crake's coins because typically he will make as many as demand warrants, but for Symbology some of the the coins are limited. Limited to 475 to be exact. I guess that means he sold around 235 sets. This is a beautiful coin and I can't wait to see them... oh yea, what is the LE going to look like anyway Crake?????

What we know:

- 2 inch diameter
- Antiqued Bronze and Antiqued Silver (Standard editions)
- Special LE (unknown finish) Why do I think it's black nickel???
- Trackable at geocaching.com w/custom icon

Hats off to the creators, It is actualy in Italian :) One side features everyone's favorite boot and the other side has the original spaceman him self Galileo (Nice 3D!).

30 minutes left to get the Crake LEs

You have 30 minutes left to get the Symbology LE set. They are about 50 for 6 coins here. 12:00 Central is the deadline.

Reintje de Vos tribute geocoin

Netherlands geocacher Coen Boltjes, aka Reintje de Vos, died in 2006 from cancer. He did a lot of work making maps for fellow Dutch geocachers. I think this geocoin is one of the nicest tribute coins I have seen. It is available here. 250 of these were minted and the profits go to help Netherlands geocaching. Price: 7.50 euro ($9.82 US plus shipping).

These nice Loon coins were just put on the block here. The series name is MN Loon and there were only 110 made (no icon). These coins are sold as singles, but there are also 5 silver sets left.

After the first 170 there will be 330 regular edition coins minted. It is unknown how much these will be, but they will be out of Canada so expect slightly higher shipping to the US.

Fest poker chips

Southbayday has over 100 of these and is excepting trades. These were designed by Chris Mackey for the Poker Challenge at this year's Geocoin Fest. Contact him here.

Hides & Finds Geocoin Club

Many probably haven't heard of the HFGcC, but some may have seen some of the coins in passing. There is a reason that you don't see a lot of these. Each minting is limited to 100 non-trackable, but numbered coins. The club it's self is limited to 50 participants! I believe that Shop99er began the HFGcC in November of 05. Like the GHOST Club be for it, the club was designed to be limited membership, but what makes this club unique was the predetermined life span of 12 coins. The club is currently on #8, "Newspaper Hide." I find the idea of an exclusive club fascinating! What a great idea! It would be an LE every month! To get a shot at some of these rare coins you will have to get on the waiting list here. Nothing is guaranteed, but it never hurts to try to be part of true underground of geocoin clubs.

Buffalo Wings 2007

This coin was made by Team Sand Dollar mostly for trades but now there are some of each metal available here. These cost $8 each plus S&H (First coin $1.50/$0.50) (Canada 1.75/$0.50)(Others $2.50/$1.25)

PengoFamily Personal

Here is an interesting personal that cropped up. The single sold out FAST, but you can still get the set. It comes with 4 coins and a pin. They are $50 Canadian ($42 US). To buy these you can contact the Pango's here from their GC.com profile.

Los Muertos Personal

Unfortunately all I know about this coin is that it's for sale in a bunch of finishes here. It is trackable with icon, and features a lake. The site calls it a personal and it has several flags on the back. Nice coin though! These are about $8 US plus shipping.

Symbology LE to be surprise finish

By now everyone knows that Crake will have 2 Special LE's in the 6 coin ($48) set, but what it will look like is a mystery. Crake if you haven't decided yet I suggest that you do what the Geoswag Coin and Pin Club did on their November coin. It was an antique brass coin, but they did this cool antique silver overlay on one side. So on one side you would have your brass and on the other silver! What ever this coin looks like it will be saught after for sure. To reserve a special LE set go here.

The Arizona CITO Geocoin

This coin has a very unique shape. It will be approximately 2 inches tall, trackable and have it's own unique icon. There will be 250 minted and the cost will be $8.50 each. If you are interested email: azgeocoin@gmail.com

Poor N00bs

The Geocoin Club's March takes a jab at the brand new cachers that got a shiny new GPS for Christmas. No food in the caches guys ;) Check it out here.

Luck O' the Irish

Here is a cereal that is sure to stay crisp in even the most soggy conditions. A nice metal coin from The Geoswag Coin & Pin Club. March will take full advantage of St. Patty's day with the lucky charms box. I was never a fan of the food, but the coin looks friendly and fun. You can check it in detail here.

jho135 kicking out some coinage!

Relative newcomer to coin design, jho135 has been a regular to the forums and may be going head to head with fluttershy for being the most prolific coin builder! Jason, was kind enough to give us updates on all of his cool new projects coming out.

First coming to geoswag the first part of March is the Mail Jeep. A coin paying homage to the mail carriers that deliver our sparkly new geocoins. I for one am looking forward to this one. It is a very nice addition to the growing Jeep genre.













Coin details:

Size: 1.75"
Thickness: 3.5mm
Metal: Nickel w/Soft Enamel
Nickel LE w/Imit. Hard Enamel (150 made)
Trackable: Yes, www.geocaching.com
Icon: Yes, should be a mini version of Jeep

Second is a coin known as "Caching From Dawn Until Dusk." This is a nice big glow coin. I would try to cache from dawn until dusk, but Mrs. cachegame would have me living in the dog house. (Idea, cached too long living in dog house geocoin)

































Size: 42mm
Thickness: 3.5mm
Metal: Copper
Gold LE (150 made)
Trackable: Yes, www.geocaching.com
Icon: Yes, working on a half moon/half sun possibility

Finally we have the newest addition to Jason's lineup. A good ol' Band-Aid Coin. This one brushes on a topic that Chris Mackey started with his CacheCritters coin. The fact that we are caching with animals that like to bite us.
















This one is being done through Hogwild:

Availability: April—June, 2007

Size: 1.75 inches long 3.00 mm thickness
Finishes: TBD
Trackable at Geocaching.com
Unique Icon
Pricing: Under $8.75

Team Roboknight personal

This was the "Mystery Coin" only on Ebay. Now thankfully they are selling it themselves. At $12.00(each) + $2.00 shipping I wouldn't say this was a great deal, but considering it was going for around $20 on Ebay it is a steal. If you want to know more about this coin you can go here.

OshnDoc geocoins delayed

I was wondering where these were when I found the post. Apparently the mint did an awful job in the antiquing process and poor OshnDoc had to send these back. Due to the tough Chinese New Year he is not expecting them until the first of March. You can read more here.

Symbology Reservations

Rumor has it the reservations for Symbology, Crake's much anticipated release will open this weekend (Rumor is Sunday). There is no need to crash Crake's site, you will get a whole week to reserve the coin. The site to reserve the coins will most likely be here. This coin is the sequel to his Tracking Time geocoin. A coin that many revere as one of the most beautiful geocoins if not the best. After looking at this coin I have a question about Crake's Symbology. Why is the earth in your coins always the the "Old Half" or the Africa-Europe-Asia part? All this time I thought Texans thought Texas was the middle of the map :D

*Quote from Crake*

Two possibilities:

#1 It is an attempt to restore world balance by slipping sublimital messages into my coins that promotes the concept that the rest of the world is just as important, if not more important than North America.
#2 It has a better "fit" than the other side from an artistic standpoint.

Pick your favorite :)

Red Cross LEs

Anyone who purchased one of the Mt. Rainer Red Cross geocoins can buy a nice LE to go with it. These are $22 each, but all the money is going to the selected chapter of the American Red Cross. There are very limited numbers of copper, polished nickel, and my fave, black nickel coins. To get in line post here.
