    What does your Geocoin heart Desire?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I think I have got most of my hearts desire- The Bell Witch, The Cache Reaper, and Halloween Compass Rose. However I noticed that the first thread I looked at when I stumbled into the geocoin forums has had some recent activity...Cointact. I loved that coin, but being new to the forums and not having a clue what was up I thought I would never see one. Here is holding out hope *fingers crossed* ;)

    New to geocoin forums...can't find this answer, so...

    Yes, an update is required. It was 1500, but now it is 1807. I would call that insane, but I guess that means that all of us here are crazy together.

     

    What is especially shocking is to do the math. The average new coin costs 8-10 dollars, but there is also the shipping cost. I think that it is fair to say that most collectors with more than 100 coins buy coins from overseas, which greatly adds to shipping costs, and from auctions, which greatly adds to base price, I think a more realistic average cost per coin is $15. Let's do the math for my collection:

     

    (370 coins) X ($15) = $5550

     

    That is not a hobby, but a full blown addiction. :o

     

    I don't have nearly that many, but I am proud to say that even at about 75-100 coins between Anthony and I, I am a geocoin addict ;)

    Kinda new myself, but am board so...

    1)Yes, most of the coins that are purchased are for collecting only

     

    2)Yes they are activated and sent on missions.That is how I found out about geocoins and I activated and sent my first one on it's way today. However that being said most people don't seem to sent them out since they have a high chance of getting "lost" and at $8-10+ per coin that is pretty expensive to be throwing into the wind. :blink:

     

    3)A coin from yourself to yourself is usually a mystery coin from a mystery giver. They send these out just out of the goodness of their heart ;) the geocoin address book is a good way to possibly get one of these great coins.

     

    4)Active coins in caches are discussed in this forum, for instance someone (forgive me for forgetting who) was saying just recently that their coin had completed it's mission!! Quite an achievement since like I said before, many seem to get lost in their journeys. The majority of the conversations seems to be about new coins, new designs, new mystery coins, or coin trading.

     

    Just reading through the threads for a couple of weeks really helped me navigate the forums as I got sucked into my addiction to coins. Seeing all the new coins coming out, all the trading going on, and the kind generous spirit of the people in the geocoin forum really drew me in. I think that most people will agree with me that geocoins and this forum are VERY addictive!! Hope this helps you and I am sure that others will join in and/or elaborate more.

    Geoswag can thank Avroair for a new subscription. :lol:

     

    I joined also because I wanted the mask coin. I am loving the Crop Circle coin but the Irish coin is WOWOWOWOW!!!

    I have found that I like the coins with the great fine detail or knot work so both of these coins really call to me. Can't wait to get my hands on them! Fabulous Job Avroair as always.
