If they are un!a!ctivated & you have your list, I might be interested in buying the lot if price is right.

I whole heartedly agree. I've been trying to convince PayPal of that for years. I offer insurance on shipping but if the customer doesn't take it, I'm still held responsible even though I can prove shipping & in a timely manner. Seems illegal to me. Its like making car manufacters liable for you having ins. It is a separate item and the responsibility of the buyer, not the seller to get insurance if wanted. What will happen if this escalates is insurance will be added to all shipments, increasing the cost to ship. Not fair to either buyer or seller & all because of the shipping company not being held responsible for their job. Where else do you see such a thing? Crazy...

Check out this item on the bay 390276310678
I used to have one of those geocoin books, but it fell apart. Does anyone have an idea for a way to store and display coins in a a binder?

My prayers are with you Mike,
I would be interested in some of these coins to benefit him.

How many different versions? Presale?

If you or anyone you know are using any of these trademarks without authorization, please contact the BSA immediately. "
Done! I gave the OP plenty of time to resolve the issue and the respoose aprears to be sell them on eBay. I'll be contacting them to let eBay know that these are unlicensed product and hoep they shut the list and or user who is selling them.
Unfortunately, the OP's coins are apparently not sanctioned by the BSA and it will be interesting to see how long it takes eBay to cancel those listings.
If you do a search on eBay for Boy Scouts geocoin, you will find another BSA 100th Anniversary geocoin sponsored by Utah National Parks Council. This one does have the correct usage of the BSA logo with registration marks and appears to be an officially sanctioned product (though I have no way of knowing and am not the seller of the coin). I mention this only as a reference.
Ethically, we have a moral obligation not to purchase unsanctioned, unlicensed "bootlegged" product. But some may see it as a chance to obtain a potentially rare collectible. BSA will certainly pursue legal action against the seller and manufacturer and force the destruction of all existing stock.
Frankly, at these prices, I rather spend my money on one of Tsun's beauties...
I am the seller of the Authentic BSA coins mention in your thread. They are the real McCoy and come in Ant Bronze or Copper.
I saw the knock offs you refer to. I ask the communmity this, Why stop at the BSA coins. If you look around there are several copyright infringments going on. From disney to pro sports. Who's watching those?
This is exactly why I decided to come up with my own branded designs, copyrighted and trademarked, (not the BSA coins). Not that it will stop knock offs but at least i can do something about it.
I know I'm the newbie in this area and not as aware of what is going on as you senior members are but I am trying to do this correctly.
So who do you blame for the knock offs? The mint for making them? The designer for designing them? The seller for selling them? Or all 3?
Yes Mike, I am profiting from the sale of the BSA coins but so is the BSA. Like all business's I need to turn a profit to stay in business and I enjoy promoting a worthwhile organization like the BSA. I was a boy scout myself.
I agree with everyone that unlicensed products should not be bought by us, collectable or not.

Thought I'd share a sneak peek at our first coin project - "Voyages of Exploration".
We're currently working toward having this coin in production by early October (possibly sooner).

What a wonderful suprise and a great looking coin. In 3 versions no less. A new mystery coin. What a great time to be a part of geocaching and geocoins. Thanks for the pictures

Unactivated geocoins are for your personal viewing and possibly enjoyment only. Activated the tracking number is then registered to you and the coin is listed on your profile.
So if you have an activation # for a coin it has to be activated? I also got a reference # for the trackables page but I did not put in the activation code anywhere. It does show in my trackables. It's active? Yes?
TNLN TY
-
How do you check to see if a coin is activated? Put in the tracking # at geocaching.com? I went to the trackables page and began the activation process. Step 1 complete, step 2 did not complete or step 3.
I did get an activation code and a reference code but did not put in the activation code anywhere. It now shows up on my trackables list in my profile.
Is it activated? If you have the activation code does it mean it's been activated? Thx
I always deal with new coins so this is new to me.
-
Newbie Question, If I just want to see if a coin is activated I just enter the tracking number and see if it has a history/owner?
I tried to find out via the 3 step process, got an activation code, a referal code and then left the web page without finishing up step 2 or 3.
Now it's listed in my trackables. Is it activated? I will have to adpot it out to change ownership?

My father is still alive today which I thank god for and savor everyday. My condolences to those not as fortunate.
He taught me that I can do anthing if I work hard enough. As it turns out I'm hard worker and have done ok.
Probably the thing that comes up the most is that the older I get the smarter they were. Didn't seem that way growing up while I still knew everything =)
I'll be calling Dad when he gets home from church to wish him a happy fathers day and to tell him I love him.
Happy fathers day all, Phish_bonz

Anyone have an Original Can of Beans geocoin in hand for trade?
Those coins were delayed due to minting errors the owner told me. I preordered and never got them, just an email.

i havent been on the forums much the last few months and i have discovered this awesome coin, are they still on sale somewhere and are they sold separately or must the whole set be bought?
i really would love to get one of these coins as i love frogs and try to get hold of all frog geocoins there are.
You have to buy the set of 4. I have the set and will split it up. Buy or trade? Your trade link is down.

It took a while, but now here we go:
Out of the long list (with about 100 top geocoins that appeared up to the year 2007), the 29 most outstanding geocoins were chosen for the short list.
You can find this list here:
http://geocoins.info/nominees.html
There you will also find a link where you can cast your vote for your favourite.
Please note: You can chose one coin only and vote only once.
Submit your vote by April 15, 2010
Five people participating this vote will win a geocoin prize (however not of those coins depicted on that nominee list).
The winning coins (and prize winners) will be anounced in this forum at the end of April 2010.
(Election of the best coins of the years 2008 and 2009 will be held later this year.)
A tough choice but I picked one. TY Phish_bonz

River Cacher has become a "Caching Friend" to us when he attended our "10 Years of Geocaching" Event (GC21427) on Feb 13th, 2010. We had minted a Geocoin for our Event and due to issued over Copyrights we were not allowed to sell our "10 Years of Geocaching" Geocoin at our Event as planned. River Cacher, hearing of our situation made some contacts and after a few weeks our coin problems were resolved. Since then we have learned that River Cacher has been diagnosed with Cancer and is now going through Treatments that has drained his life savings. We would like to do whatever we can to repay River Cacher for what he has done for us. We are setting up the "10 Years of Geocaching" Geocoin - RC Fund Raiser. We will be auctioning off a 3 Coin Set on EBAY, Starting April 13th, 2010, the auction will last 21 Days and end on May 3rd, 2010, (The 10th Anniversary of Geocaching). The First Coin will be our Original design with the Original Stash Plaque on one side and the State of Oregon with "10 Years of Geocaching" 2000-2010 on the other side. Two more versions of the coin are now in the process of being minted. One Set of 3 coins will go to the highest bidder. This will probably be the only chance ever to purchase the complete set of all 3 "10 Years of Geocaching" versions together. We hope this will help River Cacher with his medical expenses and bring together the Geocaching World to help out a fellow Cacher.
I have become friends with River Cacher and will mail you some coins for his benefit. God Bless you RC

I have been putting gpx files on the sd card in my Oregon 450 and it is causeing it to lockup on startup.
It will work about 75% of the time so I cannot pin it down to a specific cause like file size or number of files.
Anyone else have this problem and how did you correct it?
What size memory card and what class is it? How much of it are you using? What's the orgin of the gpx file?

YES! IT'S TIME FOR A COINTEST!
to the winner: Turlutortue geocoin XXLE
10 minted, Nickel sandblasted with white HE, black and turquoise HIE for the front and translucent blue for the back. (the swirls on the shell are actually black- pic doesn't really show)
I need you to guess how many emails were exchanged between Landshark and me over the geocoin process, including all the questions, frustrations, delay requests, design changes.......Don't forget that it took over a year to get those little fellows.
Please, 2 posts/person/day
I'll let run this for 3 days unless a winner is declared sooner. If no one is declared winner I'll let my hubby choose a post number.
Cointest ends march 18, 5am (Groundspeak time)
Simple, so let's see your guesses
165 emails, nice geocoin. TY for the cointest
