Hi hammiam! You seem to have been lucky! If it's this one: then congrats on this find! This is Degai's non trackable personal geocoin and her signature item. If you find a coin like that it's yours to keep. But you could also decide to pass it on and place it in another cache. Or whatever you'd like to do with it.

Also an Unknown Soldier (this time antique silver LE) available for trade in this trader list on Cointracking.com. Good luck again!

I've seen that on GeocoinCollection.com there is someone who has two of the Unknown Soldier geocoins nickel available for trade. If you'd ask that collector kindly whether he / she would be willing to sell you one of those you might be lucky! I think it's worth a try! This is the link to the coin: Unknown Soldier nickel Good Luck!

Congratulations on your first personal E&Cplus3 geocoin, Chuck. It really is a great design! What I like best about it is the 'Dutch Connection' of course! I just announced your new coin on our Dutch www.geocaching.nl geocoin forum!

Hi again, everybody! I've had some very, very busy days since I started this thread! Not only busy days, but busy evenings as well! Thank you all for your overwhelming interest in a bigger or a smaller part of my collection! Many coins have been sold already, many others are still available. For coiners who haven't visited my collection yet: have a look at it at geocoincollection.com. There my list is most up-to-date. And I don't edit my list at cointracking.com anymore. Then: if you want to send me your offers then please do so by email through my profile. I'm not sure, but I think that some messages that have been sent to me as a PM through my profile haven't reached me. I can't remember having received PM's from some people who have posted in the topic and who stated that they had sent me a PM. I'll try and contact them. Happy bidding!

Hello everybody! I have decided to stop collecting geocoins and to sell almost all of them. I've been collecting coins since March 2005 and of late I have noticed that I'm losing interest in them. So I'll only keep some coins that I really cannot part from. You can find my collection on both cointracking.com and geocoincollection.com. All coins in both my availables lists and keepers lists are for sale, exept those marked 'Not for sale'. All coins are unactivated and uncirculated, exept those marked otherwise. Most activated coins are uncirculated as well and will be adopted out to their new owners. I have chosen not to mention prices. If you are interested in one or more coins then offer me a good price for it/them. It is no use to make me an unrealistic offer as I myself am quite familiar with actual prices of geocoins. I'll neglect unrealistic or insufficient offers and if you have not received a positive reaction from my part within 24 hours then you may have made me such an offer. The new owner of a geocoin will be the first person to make me an offer that I think is sufficient for it. A coin will be shipped to its new owner as soon as full payment including shipping costs (the real cost of the stamps only!) will have been received. I only accept PayPal! Shipping is at the buyer's risk, but registered shipping is possible at the buyer's request. I hope you will have a great time exploring my geocoin collection! Please send me your offers in a PM through my profile. Thank you! Dick / Captain Zulu Swifterbant, Netherlands

Yes, there is a Wildlife Muggles 'Sniffer Skunk' geocoin that has the skunk on one side, but it doesn't have a Tasmanian Devil on the other side. That animal has a Wildlife Muggles geocoin of its own! There's also a skunk geocoin that's called 'Skunked' and it depicts a skunk with lots of flowers on both sides. To see pictures of both Wildlife Muggles Sniffer Skunk and Skunked go to geocoincollection.com or cointracking.com. There you may also find collectors who have these coins for trade or for sale. Good luck!

eragonSaphira & Gold Reef City Mint, fine silver LE (1 OZ Ag 99.9)

A gorgeous new geocoin! Absolutely wonderful! Both you and CnPs congrats on this GREAT JOB!

This link may help you. Good Luck !!!

There is a company in Europe that is selling GPS units with a geocaching.com tracking number... making the unit a travelbug. Yes . . . I already mentioned this in (my) post #2 of this topic. But we still don't know if any of us has given the right answer to the question!

Hello Eltada & Family! Thank you for this nice cointest! Here in the Netherlands celebrating Halloween isn't very common yet, but it's becoming more and more popular, especially among young people. My wife and I do have pumpkins in our autumn garden, but we don't have a pumpkin turned into a Jack O Lantern. So . . . no picture of it either! And no participation in your cointest! But I do have a nice picture of pumpkins that have become heads and that even show very human behaviour! I'd like to share this funny picture with everybody on these forums. It's called: Keep your beer, wine and spirits away from your pumpkins! HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

What about this: http://www.undertherock.com/

As a 'former geocacher' this seller, who calls himself 'Blessingspoint', ought to know that these items belong to someone else and that probably they've been stolen from a cache. In my opinion even he himself can be regarded as a possible suspect. He would only have done right if he had tried to track the original owners and get these items back to them in exchange for their gratitude or even for a small reward. No, instead of doing this he has chosen to tell a story on eBay to sell other people's property there. And of course some vultures have reported for duty already! I think seller and candidate buyers should be stopped immediately!

Hi YankeePride! Once you know how to do it, it isn't very difficult to get the coins you'd like to have. I can tell you which Dutch coins there are and I can help you to get what you want. As far as I know there aren't any Indonesian geocoins. So . . . if you're interested: send me a PM or an email. But keep in mind that it's nearly midnight here right now!

Congrats on this awesome coin, LoriDarlin! And the price? It's $ 9.00 says The Caching Place!

I had completely forgotten about this cointest! And it was such a nice one! Anyway: Congrats to the winners! To all contestants: thank you for having shown your nice GeoPets! They all are GREAT! We couldn't do without them, could we? And Dear PengoFamily: thanks again for having organized this!

Great looking coin, Theotokos! Congrats! I'll be happy to order some!

Great small dog, Spade! Congrats with this new Pengo Family member! He may not know yet, but probably he'll help finding hundreds of geocaches in his future life with you! And I think that one day there'll even be a Spade Geocoin! Thank you for organizing this nice cointest! It's a great idea! My cointribution to this cointest is a picture of my GeoDog 'Céline van 't Laagveld'. Her everyday-name simply is 'Muis', Mouse in English. She is a three-and-a-half year old 'Basset Fauve de Bretagne', in English: 'Fawn Brittany Basset'. The creature in the foreground is 'Pauline das Schaf' (Pauline the Sheep), a German travel bug (TB18ZB6) whose mission is to have her picture taken with as many animals as possible while traveling from cache to cache. So here Pauline was successful again, thanks to Muis's kind cooperation! I hope Muis wins this cointest for her boss!

Having read all the comments in this topic I realize that I must have thrown quite a big stone into a quiet pond. Indeed I was indignant over what I had read in this topic when I decided that I had to post myself and that made me write a text with some spicy extras. I still endorse my point of view that the way this question has been posed isn't very wise. But I am -and was- convinced that Fairy Honey didn't have the intention to be insensitive and from what people who know her have said about her she probably can't be insensitive at all. Yet -in my view- she unintentionally was. And I had to give my opinion about that, right away of course! Now I see that I'd better have waited some time before I did that. I've learned that Fairy Honey doesn't deserve spicy extras and I now sincerely regret having given exactly that to her! In most posts many wise words have been spoken. These have contributed to my present, more lenient, view of this matter and I'm grateful for that! Thank you all! And after having read Fairy Honey's own comment on all this I can only say (if you don't mind): Hugs for Fairy Honey!

Our fellow-men have died by the thousands in this terrible catastrophy. Many, many others have been injured, often very seriously! Large numbers of people have lost their husbands, wives, parents, children, collegues, friends, their homes and everything else they possessed! And here we have a person who is afaid that the production of something trivial like geocoins will slow down or pause because of this horrible even! Without even mentioning the fate of all these Chinese! Thank God it's 'only' the farmers in rural China and not the people who work in the geocoin factories in the coastal regions! Shame on you! Asking a question like this is a testification of an appaling lack of compassion! Do you have a heart at all? There was no "only farmers" in their post. You put it in YOUR post above. This is a terrible thing - many thousand have died and more are seriously hurt and displaced and in great need. But the poster did nothing wrong by asking. No more than someone asking if the Olympic venues were effected; and I've seen several media articles mention just that. I didn't see it that way: I saw the poster recognizing a connection with China that geocoiners share and using that connection to ask a question. That may be so and of course that must be appreciated! Yet it is my opinion that worrying about the production of geocoins is banal in connection with a disaster of this extent. There was no "only farmers" in their post. You put it in YOUR post above. That's right! I didn't say these were their words, did I? I didn't quote anybody anywhere. Everything that I've written in my post has come straight from my own mind. But here I was referring to Nielsenc's post, just after theirs, to which they have reacted one post later. In this way I wanted to draw Nielsenc's words into the discussion without addressing him as well. No more than someone asking if the Olympic venues were effected; and I've seen several media articles mention just that. Well, in fact that is just as banal! But of course media have to report about anything important ánd about all possible consequences of anything important. That's just their mission! And I think nobody will doubt the importance of the Olympics for both China and the rest of the world! Don't you think the Olympics and the Chinese production of geocoins are subjects of a very different magnitude and importance? Finally: I've written my post because I felt hurt by an -as I think- obvious lack of compassion. Undoubtedly Fairy Honey is a nice person, but in my opinion her post is a miss! And do I have to know a forum member in person to have an opinion on his or her posts? I don't think so! Of course I'm entitled, like everybody else, to have an opinion of my own on these things. I haven't seen a reaction from Fairy Honey herself yet, but it's odd to see that there is already at least one person now who even seems to be angry with me and who doesn't seem to let me express my personal view on this matter. I want to assure Fairy Honey that I didn't write my post because I had a problem with her, but just with the way she has posed her question.

Our fellow-men have died by the thousands in this terrible catastrophy. Many, many others have been injured, often very seriously! Large numbers of people have lost their husbands, wives, parents, children, collegues, friends, their homes and everything else they possessed!

Well, this great cointest is over now! I've been reading everything and I liked it very, very much! Congrats to the winner and many thanks to Geo.Error for organising this cointest! Now that it's over I still have a contribution to make. I know something about the Netherlands that no one has mentioned so far, but that might be very interesting for our geocaching friends abroad, because: OUR GREAT SMALL COUNTRY IS DENSELY POPULATED, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GEOCACHE DENSITY? NOW HAVE A LOOK AT THIS MAP HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? HAPPY CACHING EVERYBODY !!!!!

And on October 6th 2007 a worldwide geocaching event took place: the Geocoinfest Multi-Event "A Mosaic Of Events". This event was held that day on 24 different locations in the world, mostly in the U.S.A., but also in Canada, the Netherlands and . . . . in New Zealand. An event geocoin has been issued, the same coin for all locations. But for each location the name has been engraved on the back side of the coin. For the New Zealand event that was AOTEAROA.

These are both sides of a new geocoin from New Zealand, dedicated to the 57th World Ploughing Contest that will be held in 2010 at Methven, NZ. This is a link to the event's website: NZ Plough 2010
