    CN22 Question?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I always list them as Game Tokens

     

    Value is usually $5 each to keep it easy on custom charges on the other end.

     

    I also show them as a gift

    Same here! And never had any problem with that! :)

    GEOCOIN TRADING, WANTS, OFFERS AND LISTS

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I have a "Caching In The Holidays" GeoCoin that I found a while back, and I am willing to trade it, if anyone is looking for it? (I am new to Geocaching, Im not sure if this is like super popular or anything like that lol) I just wanted to put it out there incase anyone WAS looking for it.

    Since you say you're new to geocaching and 'found' this geocoin (in a cache?), just a little question: are you sure this geocoin isn't activated and isn't someone else's property already?

    They are trackable, must are activated but I can do a owners transfer.

    But you have them in your possession?

    Yes, strange question. I'm just a bystander, but interested why you're asking. :rolleyes:

    I've been offered some before that they had sent into the wild, basically they wanted to adopt them over but for a fee.

    Oh, yes, right! Perfectly clear! Thanks for your reaction! :)

    Are pathtags like geocoins?

    Pathtags are a kind of signature items that are left behind in geocaches for other geocachers to find and keep. The person who has found one can build or start building his/her own collection of pathtags that way, but he/she can also take the pathtag to leave it in some other cache later. If you intend to keep it for yourself then you should log it.

    Horse Themed Geocoins

    Hello,

     

    I am currently collecting horse themed geocoins and keep thinking that here must be more out there that I am missing. I'm hoping some of you can help me fill in the blanks on what coins I should be looking for. I do know about the Rosa Ponyhof coins. I just have not been able to find one so far. Here is a list of what I have collected so far:

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Ann

     

    Here is a German website where there are 30 Rosa Ponyhof geocoins for sale or for trade.

     

    Unfortunately (for you, if you don't read German that is) it still is in German only. If you don't understand how to use it I can help you if you like.

    Dutch Geocoins

    E&Cplus3 is a Canadian geocacher, geocoin collector and geocoin designer. Over the years he has been collecting nearly all Dutch geocoins and probably has the most elaborate collection of them in the world.

     

    He has also been selling off a lot of Dutch geocoins in the Groundspeak Forums. You can find his most recent post about that here.

    EDIT

    I have looked at CoinTracking.com, but they don't have a search function.

    (Atleast I don't see it.)

     

    Cointracking.com DOES have a search function. It is on the left, just below 'COINS ON SALE' where it says 'Coin & Trader Search'.

    American Geocoins sold other countries

    It all started in the US, both geocaching and geocoins. Thanks to US satellites geocaching has become possible to the public, all over the world. In Europe we have started geocaching, geocoining and everything else involved in these nice hobbies a bit later. Originally only US and Canadian geocoins were available, but today we can see more and more beautiful geocoins from Europe.

     

    I'm almost sure that you don't know about all those great European geocoins that are out there nowadays, so it may be a good idea for you to visit this German website for geocoin collectors that can be compared with Cointracking.com and which I think is even better. In the near future all text there will become available in English too!

     

    I have an account there myself and it has struck me to see how many geocoins originating from European coutries are listed there, many more than I knew about or even would have expected!

     

    But geocoins from countries outside Europe do belong in one's theme collection, like firefighter coins, state- or country coins, reptiles, etc. don't they? What's the problem if there is a US (or another country's) flag on a geocoin if it's one that fits in your collection?

    Am I Missing any Dragon Geocoins?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    You really have a quite unique and beautiful collection there! Congratulations! The way you're dispaying them is beautiful too!

     

    I think I've taken a good look at each single Dragon-geocoin you have in your collection, but is it possible that I haven't seen a representative of the Dragon Series Geocoins? I can hardly imagine that you've never seen them or heard about them, because I think they're quite well-known.

     

    So I may have overlooked an image of such a Dragon Series Geocoin in your albums, but in case I didn't and you're really unaware of its existence, here is an image of an example: the Red Fire Dragon

    I case you'd be interested: I have two different versions of this coin in my list of geocoins that are for sale at MyGeoDB or contact me per PM via my profile here

     

    Thanks for looking!

    geklauter Coin

    in Trackables

    Ich habe mich gerade mal die ‘Trackables moved/discovered’ in Rapper1998’s Profil angeschaut und dabei festgestellt dass er ausser deinen ‘King of Geocaching Coin’, den er seit 10.07.2012 in seinem Besitz hat, seit längerer Zeit noch zwei weitere Geocoins hat die ihm nicht gehören: einen ‘Reindeer Geocoin’ seit 27.01.2013 und einen 'Nomad Geocoin' seit 09.07.2012.

     

    Ausserdem hat er zwei TB’s anderer Geocacher die eigentlich längst wieder reisen sollten: TB ‘Island Hopper’ seit 22.07.2012 und TB ‘Pilz TB’ seit 18.09.2012.

     

    Einen Trackable sollte innerhalb von 14 Tagen wieder irgendwo in einem Cache hinterlassen werden und falls das nicht gelingt sollte, sollte der Besitzer Kontakt zum Eigentümer aufnehmen. So gehört es sich! In diesem Fall benimmt Rapper1998 sich nicht so wie es von einem Geocacher erwartet werden dürfte. Er spielt das Spiel nicht richtig. Und vielleicht auch nicht ehrlich. Ob es Möglichkeiten zur Bestrafung gibt ist mir nicht bekannt.

     

    Es ist aber auch nicht sehr schön was Du da in Deinem Log auf King of Geocaching Coin’s Seite über Geocoin Sammlern geschrieben hast: “Vielleicht ist er aber auch einfach einer dieser beliebten Coinsammler”. Weltweit gibt es vermutlich hunderttausende Coinsammler, aber die KAUFEN sich die Coins für ihre Sammlung. Ausserdem gibt es leider tatsächlich auch Leute die reisende Geocoins und TB’s anderer Leute behalten und (vielleicht auf dieser Weise) sammeln. Das sind aber nichts anderes als vulgäre Diebe. Die beiden Gruppen sollten nicht in einen Topf geworfen werden.

     

    Ich hoffe Du bekommst deinen 'geklauten' Geocoin bald wieder!

    You are aware of this website, aren't you? Here you can search for available coins in other collectors' lists and initiate trades. And more!

     

    Obviously I am aware of that site which is why it says "I find cointracking confusing" in the quote you used above.

     

    Yes, of course, now I can see what you meant. Wrong interpretation by a non native speaker ......
