May I reserve/order 2 please? Thanks!

May I be among the first to say... very nice looking happy coin! The glow in the dark is fun too.

I personally like simple designs and consider it a mark of quality when it comes to state coins. Too many subjects on one coin is not appealing to me at all. The highest / lowest points theme is excellent IMHO. Avoid cartoon characters/images, especially if mixing with non-cartoons. The temptation to include too many subjects can be overcome by remembering that there is always next year to do another coin and another subject. JMHO, thanks for taking on the project!

Email sent, thanks.

I have a few extras of each coming in and will consider trades. Please see my listing on cointracking.com, and contact me via that site, not the forums. I'm interested in collecting 'official' state or club sponsored geocoins from each of the 50 states. Those offers will get my primary attention. Be patient though, I'm not checking emails or threads steadily during the holidays.

Hmmm, seems somebody snatched my idea and made it a wayfark. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...fi&submit4=Find The heartburn I have is that when I created these free wifi caches, there was a moratorium on locationless caches, so I couldn't claim dibs on the category. So I guess it's the same scenario as I've seen in other wayfarking threads: I could get but I just have to ...

Paypal'd for one!

I sure would like one! (Sadly, I missed out on the first batch.) Looking forward to receiving info on how to pay.

Mine arrived today, very nice. Thanks for all the hard work put into these!

Still waiting for my four to arrive.

Still patiently waiting for 4 to arrive

I did the paypal thing for four. Looking forward to recediving these beauties!

Perhaps I can send in my halfling to messmerize the Nazgul? Whilst he is entranced, the rest of the fellowship could overpower him and reclaim the One.

For the record, I love Locationless caches. I'm in favor of continuing Locationless caches based simply on these points: - They provide me a broader opportunity to learn of places and things I did not know of. This is one significant reason I got into the sport of Geocaching. - I DO, in fact, use my GPSr to find and visit places of interest by using the coordinates from Locationless logs submitted by other cachers. To me, these places of interest are as much geocache targets as any of the 'traditional' containers with logbooks. - I am unlikely to have many opportunities to visit many other states, let alone other countries. But with Locationless cacheing, I can at least gain a more worldly view. Through Locationless cacheing, I have the opportunity to connect with other cachers in other parts of the country and the world. What I'd personally be willing to do to support the continuation of Locationless cacheing: - As a user, I'd be willing to pay an extra membership fee above the premium (say <=$5) to be a Locationless Cacher. [i feel there is enough value in Locationless cacheing to pay a bit more for it.] - I'm ok with using a separate web server/portal to do Locationless cacheing (just like the Benchmarks pages are separate.) I'd be satisified with Locationless cache policies like: a maximum of 2 photos per log, one log per cacher per Locationless cache, and a maximum life of each Locationless cache (6 months?). [i do understand the very real problems associated with cost buying and maintaining of servers, disk space, databases, etc.] - I'd be willing to pay for the privelege of 'owning' a Locationless cache (say <=$5 per cache) for a fixed period of time (6 months?) or when a maximum number of logs (200?) are reached, whichever comes first. I'd accept that when those maximums were met, the cache would be automatically archived. [i personally would not pay to create a cache for collecting photos and locations of 'ordinary/banal/too-common' things, so maybe those types of caches will be self-limiting by the mere fact that someone would have to pay for creating a Locationless cache.] - I'd accept a requirement for me to log in on at least a monthly basis and maintain (aka 'review and clean up') my cache and it's contents. If I did not log in, I'd accept that my cache would get archived automatically. [i have heard from others that unmaintained caches, low quality photos, questionable 'found-it' claims, out-of-topic 'found-it' claims, etc. are a big point of dissatisfaction, and these problems annoy me also.] - I'd agree that my Locationless cache would be subject to a peer acceptance review before approval, conducted during a (say 14 day?) "peer review period." If, at the end of the review period, I did not receive at least a 50% acceptance (based on a tally of one 'accept it' or 'reject it' vote per paid Locationless cacher who votes if they wish), then it would be rejected and I'd have to try again with a more 'acceptable' cache concept. If it did not pass peer review, a Groundspeak person would never have to even look at it. I would also accept that a Groundspeak appointed person would still need to review it once it passed peer review to assure that Groundspeak criteria are met. The appointed Groundspeak person would still have ultimate approval or rejection authority (just as in any other type of cache.) [i understand Groundspeak has an image it wishes to maintain, and the cost of reviewing caches is very real. I also understand that dealing with complaints is too often a thankless job, and no one should be subjected to it. We can relieve the admins & volunteers of this unpleasant task by spreading it out to the voting Locationless cacheing community. Let those who have put skin in the game use their votes to do most of this unpleasant task. It is their satisfaction that matters after all, so let them vote for what they want and don't want.] - I'd also agree to accept and act on feedback regarding my Locationless cache from other Locationless cachers on an ongoing basis regarding how well I am managing the contents of my cache page & the logs. I'd agree that if the cumulative feedback score (one ongoing feedback vote of 'Acceptably maintained = 1' or 'Not Acceptably Maintained = 0' per Locationless cacher per Locationless cache,) resulted in an overall cumulative <0.5 rating for more than one month, my cache would also be automatically archived. I would expect that a text block be included for explaining the votes. [This would provide incentive for me to maintain my cache in a way that would satisfy the Locationless cacheing community at large. I might even learn something in the process of getting feedback.] I realize that the above will require some work on Groundspeak's part to implement a system for paying for Locationless cacheing and processing the acceptance & satisfaction ratings. These actions seem to me to be worth the effort for both Graoundspeak and anyone who wants to do Locationless cacheing. I'd appreciate the decision makers at Groundspeak at least considering my suggestions, and I'll appreciate the critical review of others regarding what I've said. In the end, my interest is only in doing whatever it takes to keep Locationless cacheing alive and well.

You gotta just pay the demands, cut your losses. Next time maybe put one of those On-Star thingies in your SUV if you really want to try to thwart the thieves! Of course then you have to hire a SWAT team to retrieve the TB... And the travel costs could become overwhelming... What has the world come to?!?!? p.s. Definition of diplomacy: The art of saying "nice doggie" while reaching for a big rock. p.p.s. We really do like doggies, and this one looks like a good one. Use diplomacy only for the truly unruly mongrel junkyard doggies.
