    Marky,

     

    I ended up getting 150 made just so I would have enough to put in caches and trade them. Numbering ended up FAB001 - FAB150. So, if you live in Texas you would have the best chance of finding one. Mostly as FTF for my caches. I may place a few in other states I usually visit as well (most likely Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Nevada).

    I have my personal coins and a few others to trade. I need the following coins:

    Indy Diver, Team Fisur, Aucomia, Dhobby1, Waypoint15, 2003 Texas, 2003 USA,

    Geonap.

    For many of these I will trade multiple coins to get them. I also need any 2003 or older coins. Just e-mail me.

    FYI, I know of a geocacher who got some samples from KV, and guess what??? ONe of them was an un-numbered geocoin from one of the active cachers that had his coin made there. This is sounding more like what may have also happened to Blazerfan...

     

    Here is some company info and links:

     

    Idaho coins were done by Aaron Charles, the names were laser etched on them, cost is about .45 each for the etching. The epoxy coating is .35 each. The die cost for the Idaho coin was not extra for the shape. Some places charge extra, others don't. Usually pretty fast.

    KVCoins has done a number of private coins and does good work as well (Facedances, Cojones). Seems to be slower than most.

    Gary at Quality Lapel Pins is another place, he did CavScout's coins.

    You will have to ask him about speed and service. He said he was happy.

    Coins for anything is the company who made Georgia's. Jeff is a good contact for them.

    Crown Awards did the Texas coins, they were nothing fancy, but look fine. I got a couple of samples from them for some full color coins. There work looks fine.

    Talk to John Guido. Prices are cheap for higher volume, but they don't offer

    3-D or epoxy coating. No frills company. (P.S. The cheapest coins are like fake money, not very good. Texas used the next step up, an alloy I believe). Orders take about 4-6 weeks after art approval.

    Ok, I am updating my coins needed list: 03 Texas with Star on the back, 03 Kentucky (is there such a coin or just 04?), 04 Kentucky, Dhobby1, Indy Diver, Team Fisur, Waypoint15, Aucomia, GeoNap, Moun10bike, Kablooey. I have quite a few coins to trade, so let me know. Also willing to do a 2 for 1 trade to get a harder to find coin.

    Just to make sure you guys know, you can track them at travelertags.

    I e-mailed them previously and you can pay for tracking (so you can sell the coins).

     

    Here was there response:

     

    "For 100 tag numbers I can give you special account access to create your own tags. Tags (that you actually mint and use) are .60 a piece. If you mint in a lot of 250 or more it's .40 a piece. You may resell or market your coins under this pricing structure"

     

    So .40 each to track on their website, quite a bargain when you compare it.

     

    Hope this helps you decide.

    I have been getting flak about saying I would produce a coin in a state that I don't live in. If SC cachers don't want me to do it, I won't. I am trying

    to promote caching, no matter what state it is in. It is such a great alternative to the other options that kids, families or adults have to choose from. Enough said.

    Coins seem to make people more aware and usually spur more events.

    First of all, that is where I am from. No, I don't live there anymore, but nobody wanted to step up and do it. If they don't want me to do it, I won't. I am trying

    to promote caching, no matter what state it is in. It is such a great alternative to the other options that kids, families or adults have to choose from. Enough said.
