wenzelbub If your gauging interest and asking people how many they would like.. yet not collecting cash until they have arrived from the mint and ready to ship it is not Pre-Sale it is more often called a reservation sale/system and not Pre-Sale (it scares a lot of people off that word) Reservations are the way to go for us so we do not have our money paid out and then waiting 2 months for coins, plus anything can happen in that time. Of course pre-sales is less risk for you

That is the one, or close enough. It was the Johnny Cash version it's Black Nickel. I checked the coin after I drew it and I have more gems on mine and missing several design aspects hehe Your up GG!

Good O Now I checked the coin after the drawing, I have extra bits in there and missed some of the other bits, but it should be easy enough..

That would be the Tiki Clay Geocoins, I wish I could have afforded the set

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

Still running GATOULIS I'll say when you can stop hehe More Trivia please! I want a heap to be able to pick and choose what questions will make it into the quiz. So far they are all very tough Keep them coming

Ok so of those that have posted so far, should you win.. and someone has to... what coin has caught your eye

Julian: Welcome to Madagascar. Marty the Zebra: Mada-who-ah? Julian: No. Not who-ah. As-car.

No. No notice of shipping. They just showed up. CF30 And show up they did, today there was a knock on the door and a big box of coins greeted me. YAY!! I must admit I was a little worried about sending my trades to other hosts back out in time. But they will all hit the Post Office tomorrow. Fedex are not bad, posted on the 17th and arrived on the 23rd. nice one! That is a record for US to me. Excuse the picture, the lighting was not the best (No UV lights here darn it) and I did not have time to set up the camera once I realised it was not looking so good as it is my youngest boys 8th B'day today so home-made Mini pizzas have been demanded

cool a coin I had not seen before! Nice

AlliedOz makes a note to be sure to take a backpack or a "manbag" if he ever gets a chance to go to a event for coins. Congrats to all recipients

Thanks for the Trivia guys and gals it has been great both ends. Very interesting indeed. Some of the Geocaching stuff is very hard I would never have known 70% of the questions Now If your sitting back thinking Hmmm I don't know anything trivial about geocaching there is plenty of room for questions like my example below. Grab something you know about Geocaching and make up that question Q: One of the items below was not in the original stash bucket. a: A can of beans b: A Unicorn c: Delorme Topo USA software d: Slingshot *RULE CHANGE** You can post every 8 Hours ! so get cracking for more chances to win BTW I'm not checking times, close enough is good enough Oh I keep forgetting here is a quick and easy ROT13 page in case you needed one to see what they removed from Mr Potato Head.. seeing it seems to be the code of choice

Maybe a Tsun 2009 Turtle ? I only said Maybe

All the orders were shipped out midweek. Well then we should be getting them here in the States early this week and International within a couple weeks. Should get there in time, I'd think. CF30 34 days is the record for mail from the States to me, tho that was extreme , normal 14 to 16 days, with 21 days until the event doubt my coin trades will make it back to the states for those wanting to raffle them at their events. Tho a picture of what they have won might do

Update please! Have we got any word on the shipping?? The original estimate was International Shipping: Sept 3rd We did get word via e-mail that they arrived on the 10th ready to ship but waiting for a surprise from he mint (cool) but nothing since. With it being the 20th today if they have not been shipped yet or very very soon I have concerns that they may not be here in time. Here being Australia.

Thanks for the entries so far, spot on! Please remember to include your GeoNick when sending the e-mail as "John.Smith@gmail.com" is very hard to match up with a post over here At the moment I have one more e-mail than thread post and it is easy enough to match up for now. But once I have 20 more e-mails in my IN box it will become impossible Hey drneal I'm from Alice Springs where the trial was held and I remember riding my bike down to the court house to check out what the fuss was about. So many years ago!

Thats the one ElliPirelli Darn.. I draw too good

Lets see if someone can knock this one over so I can go to bed as it is 5:10 AM

That would be the gorgeous Kathy Geocoin.

Yes it has happened to me a couple of times and took me a while to work out what had happened, Glad to have helped. Now the coin, CORRECT! was it my crappy drawing or the occupation hint that gave it away? Lets see those art skills BVnLJ

Top Right hand side of the thread BVnJL you'll see an option box, just click on a standard view and not outline view

Ok trying to reply to this thread from work on a mobile phone was too much hassle.. back to say nope not them SecretChief. When I said it spins i meant the coin itself rather than the thing on it like the crude drawing I have attempted. Looking at it now it is very that thing in the middle thats almost (its not) the start of a compass rose, it is that what allows the coin to spin rather well. another Big clue, check out my occupation.

not guessed yet . it spins

Trivia Cointest! You supply the trivia ! One of the activities planned for my 10/10/10 event is a Geocaching quiz. So far I have cobbled together a few questions in the categories of General Geo, Coins, and Local Cachers. But to really make sure I have a good selection of questions I would like to offer you the chance to contribute to my quiz.. Now you may be sitting there reading this thinking “What’s in it for me besides the fuzzy feeling of helping out a fellow coin collector and knowing it may well be your cleverly crafted question that gets a team over the finish line giving them life long bragging rights and some prizes thrown in for good measure!” Well it just so happens we thought of that… So up for grabs in this cointest is your choice of one gorgeous Tsun earth Turtle, should you already have that coin or turtles are just not your bag you may select one of the other coins pictured. So choices abound. All coins are unactivated. How do I get my name down for this draw you say? It might seem like a lot, but read on and it will all become clear... as mud in a green bottle. All I need from you is a Geocaching related question, and 4 answers that it might possibly be, highlighting the correct answer and if needed a link to verify the answer. Such As… AlliedOz Q: One of the items below was not in the original stash bucket. a: A can of beans b: A Unicorn c: Delorme Topo USA software d: Slingshot So not that hard at all Now it would not be very fair to people who participate at the event quiz if everyone just posted their question with the four choices and the highlighted answer in this thread, particularly if one or more of the teams attending the Perth event was to come across this gold mine of answers. So please e-mail your questions in the above format to this address triviacointest@gmail.com . Be sure to include your team name in the body of the message so it can be matched with the second part below. -=-=Boring Alert=-=- Of course who wants to read a thread with a whole lot of “e-mail sent” posts… so part two of entering is to post an interesting trivia fact in this thread, it does not have to be Geo related.. Just something you read or know that has made you go "wow", this will complete your part in the cointest making it a valid entry (an e-mail + thread post) Some things you need to know * Only one entry every 24 hours, so make them good. (may change depending on the response) * The winner will be drawn by a Random number generator. * You may use an image in your question as the quiz is on a projector, but no sound bytes. * The Cointest will run as long as it takes and not much longer . * I’ll post all questions after the event so we can enjoy them. * I have the right to add or remove rules as we go along (No doubt I have missed heaps of things) * The winner must post a picture of yourself and your prize once received, so we can call for the tread to be closed. Good luck all!

Good O Now granted this is the back of the coin as the front would be a no brainier if I showed it.
