  1. Here are three coins I have produced with cats: Alice (We're All Mad Here) CacheCat CacheCat II
  2. Be my guest. You can add the black nickel non-trackable as an official edition since it was placed in a cache to be found. There may have been only one though. The copper appears to be just a single sample.
  3. The Remembrance Day 2016 Geocoin is the newest offering from PHDCoins.ca. This coin is 45mm in diameter and 3mm thick. It celebrates the sailors responsible for escorting convoys of goods and soldiers to Great Britain during the Second World War. There are five editions. "HMCS Charlottetown" Antique Silver "HMCS Ottawa" Antique Bronze "HMCS St. Croix" Antique Copper "HMCS Clayoquot" Satin Silver "HMCS Shawinigan" LE Satin Gold/Antique Silver This coin is available now from http://phdcoins.ca.
  4. The Magic Is In The Hunt geocoin as back in stock! Visit http://phdcoins.ca now, because I didn't order too many extras.
  5. The pre-sale for the MAGIC IS IN THE HUNT geocoin ends Monday, October 10th.
  6. Just four days left in the pre-sale. Both editions are available at http://phdcoins.ca. For more information on the Maritime Mega IV, visit the official website, or the event listing.
  7. The pre-sale for the MAGIC IS IN THE HUNT geocoin will begin on Friday, September 23rd and run until Sunday, October 10th. The cost will be $14.50 CDN each or $80.00 CDN for the set of six.
  8. The Magic is in the Hunt is the newest offering from PHDCoins.ca. This coin is 50mm in diameter and 4mm thick. It features multiple layers of intricate design and interwoven rings on the front and back. The phrase "The Magic is in the Hunt" speaks of the joy of every journey that leads to a discovery. Another way of expressing this is "Getting there is half the fun." Whether it is the search for that difficulty five geocache or a journey of self-discovery, it is that journey that makes the destination more meaningful. There are six planned editions. "The Sorcerer" Antique Silver with teal and red "The Summoner" Antique Bronze with reds and black "The Illusionist" Antique Copper with greens "The Warlock" Satin Gold with blues and silver glitter "The Enchantress" Chrome with surf green ('57 Bel-Air edition) "The Necromancer" Black Nickel with purples The pre-sale will begin later in September and will be announced here when dates are firmed up.
  9. Where ? The geocaching.com store and other selected vendors. I received the pre-release offer to buy them but opted not to. Cachemporium.com put in an order, but I don't know who else did.
  10. I believe the sale date is September 12.
  11. Next year the Maritime Mega IV will be held on August 5th in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.

  15. My 2015 Remembrance Day geocoins have finally cleared customs after a long and unexplained delay. This year's coin commemorates the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who served in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014. Since the beginning of the mission, more than 40,000 CAF members deployed to Afghanistan, many more than once, making the military engagement there the largest deployment of CAF personnel since the Second World War. 158 CAF personnel, a Canadian diplomat, a DND contractor, a Canadian journalist who was embedded with the CAF and more than 40 United States Armed Forces members who were under Canadian command lost their lives during the mission. antique bronze antique nickel, antique copper satin silver/antique gold, satin gold/antique copper AE black nickel Dimensions: 45mm diameter x 3mm thick Features: 3d artwork, edge engraving, screen printing, translucent enamel All pre-sale orders have been shipped and the remaining coins are now available at http://phdcoins.ca
  16. According to the coin creator 'Johan', the proper name is indeed Het Gele Bussie. The change was made after the samples were produced. It is named after Barny's movable cache of the same name. http://coord.info/GC3200
  17. This is the fifth year that I have produced a Remembrance Day geocoin. This year's coin honours the men and women who served in Afghanistan from October 2001 until March 2014. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of Canada assuming command in Kandahar province. Canada was part of a larger NATO-led and United Nations-sanctioned mission that included several NATO and other like-minded nations. Since the beginning of the mission, more than 40,000 CAF members deployed to Afghanistan, many more than once, making the military engagement there the largest deployment of CAF personnel since the Second World War. 158 CAF personnel, a Canadian diplomat, a DND contractor, a Canadian journalist who was embedded with the CAF and more than 40 United States Armed Forces members who were under Canadian command lost their lives during the mission. The coin measures 45mm (1.75") x 3mm thick. It features 3d artwork and multiple layers. There will be five different editions. Antique Bronze Antique Nickel Antique Copper 2-tone Satin Silver/Antique Gold 2-tone Satin Gold/Antique Copper
  18. Sorry! I've just been repeating what other folks have used. I'll stop.
  19. Somebody today sent me pictures of what looks like an antique copper version of the Gele Bussie coin! It has XXXXXX engraved, indicating it is a sample, but it makes me wonder if there were any trackable antique copper versions made. The sender wishes to remain anonymous, but wanted the pictures posted in this thread. Intrigue on top of intrigue!
  20. It has been almost a year since Avroair asked if I could produce a 3d model of a Spitfire and make it trackable. I accepted the challenge and spent several months finding a mint that could incorporate as many of Avroair's dream features as possible. We have come up with a really cool trackable and he has signed off on the samples. We are ready to go to production! This 3d model of the Supermarine Spitfire measures 54mm in length and has a 63mm wingspan. It is 13mm in height. The aircraft is trackable and will have a unique icon. Most versions have an all-over enamel finish plus enamel on the top and bottom of the wings AND on the sides of the fuselage. And, yes, the propeller actually spins! There will be five editions of the Avroair Spitfire: ANTIQUE SILVER Prototype BLACK Night Fighter TAN North African Theatre GREEN European Theatre BLUE High Level Reconnaissance The latter three are available now as pre-sale items from http://phdcoins.ca and http://negeocachingsupplies.co.uk. Expected delivery is end of September. Price: $15.00 US / $19.75 Cdn / £12.50
  21. 1. Go to the GC trackables search page: www.geocaching.com/track/default.aspx 2. Enter a name (e.g. "Tengwar") 3. You get a search result list. This will only have the activated coins, and in this case there are a number of different mintings. I'm going to look for the red icon version. 4. Chose a trackable from the list (say 'Ann's Tengwar Geocoin'). 5. Click on its owner (Bellas Pack) and show the Trackables tab in the profile. 6. Click on the Tengwar icon in the Owned column. You are now on their list of Tengwar coins (just one). 7. Take the URL (www.geocaching.com/track/search.aspx?tx=...&o=1&uid=...) and shorten it from the end to the first "&" character (e.g. erase 'o=1&uid=...'). 8. Surf to this new link and you have the total number of Tengwar geocoins ever minted (1,754)
  22. Art Nouveau coins are in! Antique Nickel
