A good day indeed

Assuming I can send the items in a bubble envelope and not in the box, I'm in

I have come across 2 or 3 caches that should have held coins, but didn't. Mostly, if a coin is listed in the cache, I find it there.
I have the same experience. I also have 3 TBs and 10 coins out there that all were set free in Norway, none has been stolen (knock on wood!)
-
Really excited about this one, such an awesome coin for dog owners
-
I'd love to participate, but I have the same concern as keewee... Shipping for the box would be at least $60 for me, because it would be considered a package. If I send the items in a bubble envelope instead it will be considered a letter and be much cheaper.

Could you expand on "Proxy" for me please?
for example:

Wow, that's really sad that some people ruin the game by stealing coins I had never heard of a "proxy" before, in the 10 months I've been geocaching all the coins I 've discovered have been real.

Very nice design, I would definitely want a mardi gras colored one
-
I notice that there are no "event" coins in the initial eight offering, so maybe those should be precluded from the mission?
A couple(?) come from one of the clubs out there, so those might be replaced with other club coins?
Does this mean that event/club coins are considered "lesser" coins? As a newbie I have no idea how to tell if a coin is "good" or "bad", I just go for whatever is visually appealing to me
-
GC&P Club coin from May 2010, which is the month I started geocaching. It will be set free on May 6th to celebrate my 1 year geocaching anniversary

Is the confirmation email supposed to come immediately after submitting the form? I did not get one

My first recommendation would be to use the "Search..." field in this forum and type MISSION. Pick a mission that sounded interesting, find the post that lists the instructions (usually Post #1), and then go through all of the responses, particularly those that offer pictures of what they received in their mission. This will take some time, but I don't think you'll need to scour more than 1-2 missions to get the general idea. When you look at the pictures, think to yourself, "Would I have been happy to receive that?" or "Would I have been proud to have my name on that as a sender?"
I just signed up for my first mission, and this is exactly what I did to prepare. Got so many ideas from looking at what had been received in other missions, now I can't wait to start putting together items for my recipient

Sounds like fun, would love to participate when it goes overseas

Whaaaaaat! An envelope from me to me! An AE version of Andy the squirrel! :D :D
I was able to buy the regular edition from the store owner (see yesterday's mailbox pic). However, he was feeling a bit insecure among those huge sheep, so the company of such a cool, pinkish fellow is warmly appreciated!
Thank you sooo much, mystery giver! :wub:
What a cutie, congrats

The cat coin is named Tama Maneki Neko. I know the guy who had them made. He might have some left, not sure. His caching name is The CAT. He lives in my area.

Thank you so much for the info, I'd definitely be interested in purchasing one should there be any left

Ooh, what is that kitty coin called? Very cute

Pizza event coin & pin

I did some more research on the "collectible" topic, and discovered that making the item collectible enables me to add a log entry of the type "move to collection". I guess that this is mostly used in cases where the owner is in possession of the item, just as you described. However, if that were the only case, it could be done in a much easier way (button "move to collection"). I guess that the current system is meant to allow even non-owners to move such items to their collection.
I'm still slightly confused about the collectible-option... So far I've set all my trackables as non-collectible, even the ones that are staying in my personal collection. But I'm wondering if these should be marked as collectible?

I don't exactly fit the criteria, but I thought I'd introduce myself anyway since I'm quite new to the forums
My name is Linda, I'm from Norway and this year I'll be celebrating my 29th birthday for the 3rd time I actually discovered geocaching back in 2002, but at the time there were no caches nearby, and since I didn't have a car and no real excuse to buy a GPSr, I didn't think more about it. Then last year I got an iPhone, and immediately downloaded the Groundspeak app. Turned out the nearest cache was right outside my house! I then realized that geocaching really had taken off, and I wanted to give it a try. I started caching May 6th 2010, and discovered a geocoin in one of the very first caches I found. I immediately fell in love with trackables, and joined the Geoswag GC&P Club shortly after. So far most of my coins have been set free, but I've slowly started adding some coins to my personal collection as well.

I discovered one of these shortly after I had started caching, and I thought it was so lovely. Now I finally have one of my own
-
1. The first geocoin I saw was 'Swedish Geocoins 2007', on my very first day of caching (May 6th 2010).
2. A 'Birthday Geocoin', bought it in May 2010 to be set free on my birthday (June 4th)
3. Not yet, but hopefully someday!
4. Haven't been a part of any trades yet.
5. Coin first. If I remember correctly I had discovered some GC&P Club coins and thought they were amazing, so I came to the forums to find out how to join the club

Oh that is so awesome! Mystery coins seems like so much fun
