    Thank you for your creative outpourings, Yime. Your coins are singularly unique and very artistic. I look up to you as one of the leaders in the coin community. Not brown nosing... just speaking the truth. If you ask for opinions on the future of coins, then I'll gladly give mine. It's a great topic!

     

    I like personal coins. Personal coins always catch my eye and interest. I believe that personals ARE related to geocaching.

     

    There has been talk on the threads about coins not being related closely enough to geocaching. Lately, I have come to think the same. I know to each his own. Each coin must appeal to someone, or else they would not have been minted in the first place. Still, these are the coins I like:

     

    Seasonal coins, yes,

    Event coins, YES!

    Series coins... yes.

    Nature themed...yes.

    >>>>>Disaster avoided!

     

    Thanks to everyone for sharing your experience with me, your words of comfort, and your reliable advice. The package just took a while, and was held up at customs, as wenzelbub stated.

     

    I've since emailed with him and he has the coins in-hand...oh, happy day! And I received one of my Halloween missions...yeah, baby!

     

    Thank you, again. I'll try to avoid cause for such drama in the future! biggrin.gif Now I can try to acquire a fiesta armadillo or a Neptune's Compass - Tsun and/or Tempest!<<<<<<<<

     

    Glad the mail came through for you! I had my fingers crossed for you.

    Post #108 ---> Vanelle!

     

    Congratulations Vanelle!

     

    And the winner of the "creative reasoning" category is...

     

    Number one of course. As has been said, this coin is about the Sun Goddess who graces one side of the coin. She definitely is a Goddess and a mother earth person : -) What better way to iconograph this coin than to use the symbol in which the ancient female for the yoni. Number 1.

     

    Congratulations Chickahominy!

     

    Self-appointed assistant judge, Mrs. Yime, looked over my shoulder when I commented that her "likeness" was being referred to as a Sun Goddess. You scored major brownie points with the Mrs., but created a monster for the next few days. I'll have to look more into the "yoni" part, but I like it even if it's hooey!

     

    I'm heading out to Salt Lake City today, but please do shoot me an email with mailing info. I'll be mailing out your prizes after GCF, unless I see you there of course!

     

    Now, here comes the hard part. I must explain that these coins come with some baggage. Radioactive baggage to be exact. Let me state right here and now that I cannot be responsible for any sudden changes that happen to either of you after exposure to these coins. You'll have to agree to a written waiver before I send these out. Take a look at the last guy who handled one of these...

    That's right, The Gamma Ray Yime!!! Forged in a laboratory, and bombarded by Gamma Rays, these geocoins were an experiment in "pushing the creative envelope".

     

    I think I pushed too hard.

     

    Thanks to everyone for voting, and joining in. Your comments, as always, are much appreciated, and I sincerely hope that you continue to enjoy my designs.

     

    See you at GCF!

     

    Yime

     

    Sending my address in hopes that a Yime will come my way :D

    Thank you so much for the cointest!

    Dear Erin,

     

    I am so glad you liked your mission! I had so much fun putting it together for you. :D The 999 coin is, indeed, an SC coin. The rooster, my personal coin, is out of the bag... but thanks for being careful. You should be able to go to Oakcoins and get the activation code for that coin. The icon is being created at the moment

     

    I'm glad you took my ramblings well. LOL! The missions I have received have all had such wonderful notes in them. Thank you everyone!

     

    Happy Halloween!

    I made a few changes to the coins and they are now in production. 100 being made.

     

    Any suggestions on how to handle the circulation of my coins?

     

    Do you keep track of where your personals are?

    Trade only?

    Trade some and sell some?

     

    There are a few people who I owe coins to. For example, Dr. Neal pre-traded me a beautiful Kathy's coin. I will be contacting him. Once I get my paybacks out of the way, I would like to share with others.

     

    Thanks! :D

    I think I'll find last year's thread and read it to get an idea of the mission packages. This is a one time mission? Do y'all send your recipient more than one package??

     

    Thanks for organizing this... :D

    COINTEST: Grandmas

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Dearest Anne, My thoughts are with you at this time. Grandmothers are very special.

     

    I didn't know my mother's mother, but I did know my dad's mom. She and Grandfather lived next door to us in a little cottage for my formative years. I would go to visit Grandmere every day after school. She taught me a lot about gardening, making meringue baskets, prayer and being a lady. Grandmere, nee Molly, wore hose and a dress everyday. When she "went to town," she would put on gloves, a hat and carry a matching purse. She loved Colonial Williamsburg... one of the reasons my daughter went there for college. She had wonderful stories to tell, as her father was in charge of laying the railroad in Texas and New Mexico. Her early years were spent in El Paso. When she was 7 years old, she bought herself a burro for a nickel! My grandmother was the light of her husband's life. He treated her like a queen. I miss her so much but know that she is one of my guardian angels.

    Just wanted to thank the organizers and volunteers for putting on a great event!

     

    We arrived at the event at 11:30 Saturday as I had to work that morning. We were having so much fun meeting people and trading/buying coins before we knew it it was after 4! We left the event with alot of coins and good memories. Had to stop around the corner and grab some dinner (the pregnant girl was starving... and so was I) before heading home.

     

    Would love to go to next years, but we will have a brand new baby, so odds are uncertain. Hopefully we can make 2011.

     

    Thanks again to the event organizers and volunteers, and thank you to everyone who stopped and traded and chatted with us! It was wonderful to put faces (and hugs!) to the online names, and everyone was just as wonderful in person as we had imagined.

     

    Here is a pic of our spoils, lots of trades, lots of puchases and some winnings! we won on 4 of our 6 raffle tickets :(

    ::: breathe, Molly, breathe :::

     

    Wow! That pic Anne.and.Eli posted took my breath away! I saw so many coins that I desire! Hoodoos, Ladybugs, Anasazi, Armadillos.... and is that an SC 999 coin I spy? :(

     

    Tsun, I'm glad you made it through the day... and your trip to GCF. I look forward to the purchase info for your homeless coins. :blink:

     

    Yime, thanks for posting the pics on FB.

     

    Minnesota? I really like Minnesota. :anibad:
