MGA/AGM Event coin still for sale

The 3 Geeks have this nice geocoin that was released at the MGA AGM event on September 30th in Wallace Nova Scotia (GCVF8X). You can get it here. These are $8.50 Canadian ($7.28 US) plus shipping. These are trackable with icon.

Now you can vote on the cachebug!


I thought it would be interesting to see some voting on the cachebug. In the right hand column there is a shiny new vote box called the geovoice. Have your geovoice heard by placing your votes on the various topics that will change periodically. The first question up for public ballot is which geocoin club is your personal favorite. They are all pretty great, who can complain about getting a new geocoin each month or so, but it may be fun to see which is most popular with cachebug readers. By the way, no, vote early and often does not apply here :)

Norwegian 2007 geocoin

This very unique geocoin is for sale here on a Norwegian geocaching website. The coin is about $16.50 and I'm not sure if that includes shipping or not. It also isn't clear if it has an icon. There were 300 minted so it probably does. I think it has a cool shape!

GeocacheOhio & Dartmoor Geocoins

The Geocoin Store will have two new coins tomorrow. One is the GeocacheOhio coin. The large coin features the waterways of the two historic canal systems. The coin will be 2" tall and 4mm thick (That's very thick). The thickness is to provide plenty of room to show the state's topography. It's trackable with icon and will cost $9.50 plus shipping. The other coin is somewhat of a mystery it features Dartmoor National Park in England... I guess we will all see it tomorrow. You can find both of these coins here, sometime tomorrow.

Bronze Geotikis, let's see how long they last!

These are non-trackables, but even gc.com would have to agree these are cool! They are hand made on Hawaii! If you haven't been to their website yet you really should. It is an experience in its self. These became available today, and who knows for how long (There were only 200 made). I have debated getting one and after reading how they are hand made, I really have to. (I have a place in my heart for tikis and Hawaii :) If only ALL coins were made like this... :(

Went for Nickells left with gift!

Woa, Hogwild has gotten into the Christmas spirit and is offering a Christmas gift for 30 cents. Hard to say no to that! Can't wait to see what I get! You can order one here. According to the write up it could be anything from a trackable to a pin!

Tommy and Helen call it quits!

Another chapter in a strange coin story. Tommy apparently is getting out of the coin business and in the process dropping the restrictions on the coins. Now you can buy as many as you want! (If people still want them) It really is a nice coin if you can get over all the drama. They are now $9.99 plus $2 shipping. Great considering they were $17 just a day ago. For those who paid the grand price you will get a five dollar rebate when you buy another coin you can get it here.

These coins just arrived from the mint and will go on sale at 5PM Pacific, 8PM Eastern. Thanks Sandy for the picture I will post it shortly!

Holiday Lights geocoins slip into Geoswag

*Update*

These are not your little modern Christmas tree lights these are the old-school big lights that kids would steal off your house and pop on the street. These have come as a very cool holiday set selling for $24.97 in the presale section to Geoswag found in the email that you hopefully received last night. The Geocaching Zone coins are there as well! A standard copper set and a Silver LE. If you were unlucky enough not to get the email, don't worry these should make it to the store in a couple of days :) You may be successful if you resort to begging her though: support@geoswag.com

Crake announces Three Roses Geocoins

These are the magnetic coins that he has been hinting at. Apparently one piece will go in a cache and one can go on your refrigerator. The pictures look cool, but I don't really see how they piece together. My early favorite is the Autumn Rose. You can read more here. Crake says these can be reserved after the holidays.

Silver Geotiki

*Update*

Brass edition on 12/9

This is a nontrackable, but it is interesting because there is a special sterling silver minting on sale now on ebay. I am a fan of the Tikis. You can see more here. PS the brass ones will be out tomorrow as well. The website art is sweet!

Finnish Tram Geocoin

The Preorder starts 12/6 (tomorrow) for this coin that commemorates the Finnish tram geocaching event in Helsinki, Finland. Nice colors on this coin! All I can say is that I hope that guy knows there is a tram coming! The slogan on the coin doesn't sound very safe either :). It is $8.50 plus shipping and a $2 per order handling fee here.

Tempting The Fates Geocoin

Wow, Chris Mackey must of had some bad shellfish to come up with this devilish design. It deals with the concept that every time you release a coin into the wild you are tempting fate. I believe that to be true. So, when you are done with celebrating Christmas you can get back into the flow with this evil guy. This coin is expected January 22. Chris, I can't wait to see this one :o Check on it here.

Cachingcoins double nickel geocoins tomorrow!

There are a lot of coins out there that make you scratch your head and ask "Why does that thing cost that much?" But, just in time for Christmas, Caching coins is reversing the trend with a spectacular $4.99 coin SET. You get two coins mailed to you for $5! One must be activated before shipment, and one is for your binder. The other incredible part about this is that each coin measures nearly 2" across! Only one of the coins is trackable, but the other has some special 4 digit number. I guess this coin leaves me scratching my head "how do they sell it so cheap!" Oh well, I'm not going to make a big deal about it. ;) You can get it HERE tomorrow.
