MWGB Geocons at Hogwild

Hogwild has a bunch of t-shirt geocoins for this event. These are similar to the ones from GeowoodstockV ($8.00). There is also a round coin that was designed by Jamie of MadHattersNeverland called "Nickel Hyde Midwest Geobash Coin" ($8.10). Hyde appears to be a cartoon character that will appear from time to time like Signal I guess.

There is also something called "The Midwest Geobash Experience Package" Registered attendees received these. It includes a yellow string bag and 3 pins from Oakcoins. These ones include two of the above mentioned Hyde geocoins (One of each finish). ($20)
All of this goodness is available here.

Cacher Tag Micro Traveler Geocoins

It looks like tags are now a type of geocoin. Here is one from Castleman that will be coming out tonight on his site here. These are sold in the colors pictured and as a set for $16.49. They are trackable!


Another chance at the Earth Turtle

For those who missed out on the Earth Turtles over at The Caching Place, you get another chance there is a presale here for a new shiny silver version with translucents and glitter. This presale lasts until this Sunday 7/29 9:00pm MST. Preorder it here for $8.75.

Big sale and new coins at the Geocoin Store

The store has been quiet for a while, apparently minting a bunch of geocoins! Here is what's new:

- MWGB 2007 Poker Marker Geocoin
- Atlanta Gal's Anniversary Slot Machine
- The Pathtag Sherpa Geocoin
- The Go 4x4 It Jeep Themed Coin

Along with the new coins are a bunch of sails. Most coins are cut 33%. The Christmas coins are now $2. An excellent price for a Chris Mackey coin (Remember there is the miles challenge on these too: The Chris coin with the most miles by thanksgiving gets the treasure chest of geocoins!)

Cache Rewards Geocoins

*Update* The price of these has been slashed from $5.25 to $5.50 for the LEs!

These are very nice looking geocoins and they are meant to reward a cache owner for creating a very cool geocache. These come in several metals (Gold, Nickel, and antique bronze and silver) and have a variety of phrases like "Amazing View" and "Great Container." Unlike reward coins in the past, these are trackable with icon. Get these here for $7.25.

Back Says:
"This coin is meant to be placed in a cache that deserves recognition for the quality shown on the front. Please move it to a cache that you feel deserves it."

Coin Stats:
1-1/2'' 38mm x 3.0mm

Moun10Like Geocoin

This one is a little strange. It is apparently a presale tribute geocoin for Moun10Bike, the cacher who had the very first geocoin. The weird part is that Moun10Bike goes to great lengths to make sure that his geocoins are not sold. It seems ironic that a tribute coin would be sold. This is a nice looking coin that looks a little like the original geocoin and says "Thank you Moun10Bike!". You can put in your order here for $9.49 plus $2 shipping.

Northern Right Whale Geocoin

This is a great looking coin for a good cause. The Right Whale was hunted to near extinction and in some areas the numbers continue to decline. A portion from the sail of this geocoin goes to the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. I love the look of this coin which was designed by Jamie at MadHattersNeverland. There is also a matching pin. You can pick this coin $7.75 and a LE $8.25 up here at Dorkfish coins.

GeoQuahog Geocoins

[D]22 is taking preorders on a nice coin that comes in bronze or nickel for $24.95, or Sterling Silver for $64.95 . Much like the Tiki Coins, the casts are hand made and there are very few made. The Quahog is a shellfish (The State Shellfish of Rhode Island) that was used for Wampum (money). There are not trackable, but very very cool and available here.

New library of designs over at the Neverland

*Update* Yes, Jamie aka: James is a he. Honest mistake, emails bogging down google servers ;)

Not to be confused with the Neverland Ranch (Creepy) Jamie's madhattersneverland has been creating cool geocoin designs for a long time now. He was kind enough to drop me a line to say that you can now see them in a cool way on her site here. That is a LOT of coins! Thanks for sharing Jamie!
