Coins that have been released are never meant to be kept.
Correction: MOST coins that are released are never meant to be kept. There are some out there that tell you on the coin's page if they can be kept or not (moun10bike, lz33, serial finder).
Yes, you are infact correct. I forgot about those and stand corrected.

I might be able to help. I can at least try for ya.

CONGRATS to all who have been initiated.
That is one nice looking coin. I have to say that I can not wait to see more pictures of the two toned. I love two tones. Wonderful coin! Thank you to misterycoins for bringing more smiles to people here in the forums, in more ways than one. (Smiles not only for the recipients, but also for us who love hearing of others getting smiles.)

There are many vendors that sell coins. Most collectors will buy themselves extras. Another way is to purchase from a collector or trade with a collector. Coins that have been released are never meant to be kept.
Have fun, and be careful... it can get very addicting and EXPENSIVE.

New World Order comes to Australia during World Cup!Thank you mystercoins!!
Is this a mystery coin that I was not aware of? Is so, any information, I'd like to add it to the spreadsheet.

Congrats Yime!

Are mystery coins only given to premium members or are they for all members?
Technically I am not a premium member and I got one. If you are interested in maybe getting one, the best way is to sign up for the geocacher mailing lists.
The list is here, but email Maine Family to be added.
edited: thought there were two, there is only one. Silly me.

I LOVE the kitty! The dragons are cool too. Your son is very talented and I think it's a great idea to make these coins.
Trackable or not? As was said before, depends on what you want to do. I would like either one.

I have to say I never expected this. I was having a bad week, decided that the mailbox needed checking after 5 days. Opened and saw "the" gold envelope. My jaw dropped. I did a double take. "Nah, can't be." I thought. Pulled it out. Sent to me from me, ok maybe. Opened and out drops this beautiful coin. I was stunned. I don't know how these mystery coiners do it, but they always know just the RIGHT time to send them.
Thank you so much to the Mystery Giver. May you get as much happiness as you mail out.

LOL! That's funny. The best thing is I have heard of these caches in use.
-
First, my condolences.
Second - wow, there are some great stories. My can't compare, but I will tell it anyway.
A non-caching friend of mine and I decided that we needed to get away, leave the men behind and just go. She is originally from the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan. We live near Detroit, so it is about a 4 hour drive up. Now, let me give you a little background on my friend. As I said, she is not a cacher. Matter of fact she is not outdoorsie at all.
We were there mid May, so the tourist season had not begun. The small inn we stayed in Paradise had not even turned on the heat since we were the ONLY ones there. We had to ask from more blankets.
We enjoyed waking up when ever we wanted. We found this wonderful little restaurant call the Berry Patch. It only had 4 tables, and had a small gift shop attached. They even opened it for us to take a look around. We ended up coming back every morning... they had the BEST french toast I have ever had!One day we headed out to White Fish Bay to take a look at the lighthouse and spend some time on the beach. While we were there we discovered they had a avian lookout site, so we headed up to take a look. There was an eathcache nearby that I wanted to grab, but involved a long walk around the beach, and my friend was not up to that.
The next morning we wanted to go back to the beach when I noticed a road that headed directly to the earthchache. (Yes I was using a GPS) I talked my friend into letting me head for it. Now this is the fun part, I drive a small Honda Civic. The road we took quickly changed into rock, then even quicker, sand. Me being me said, Ah, I can do this and kept driving, and driving, and driving. We end up about .5 away from the cache and my car stops. Ok, no problem, we can get it out. We get it out, then immediately get stuck again. By this time the sun is setting. We have no cell service and we are 10 miles away from town and 4 miles from the lighthouse. We continue to work on the car, getting it out, then stuck again. It is now dark, our flashlights are dieing. My friend keeps hearing "animals" in the woods and is freaking out. I am slightly concerned since we were in bear territory. We know that right now there is no getting help... we are stuck. So we sit in the car, I sleep, my friend is so freaked out she can't sleep. At the first sign of light (5:45 AM) she wakes me and says we have to do something. We talk out our options and decide to hear to the lighthouse and hope there is someone around. As we walk there the fog rolls in. We can't see our hands in front of our faces, but we hear a car. Yippie! We head in the direction of the sound and I find a caretaker of the avian lookout getting some seed together. I poke my head in and say, "Excuse me. Can you help? I got my car stuck in the sand." I scared the heck out of him, then hear a voice from behind me, "I can. I have a 4x4 truck." Ah, my savior! He takes us back to the car and the whole time he is saying, "I can't believe you got this far down. What kind of car do you have?" He hooks up the toe chain and begins to pull me out. My friend is in the truck with him, me in my car. Later she told me that he kept swearing that he almost got stuck too. We finally made it out, and our savior looks me dead in the eye and says, "I hope you know never to do that again." Yeah, I do.
Compared to that day/night the rest of the trip was uneventful.

I minted the coin so can speak here with authority.
The top is Antique Nickel AE and the bottom is Satin Nickel AE (Both with NO ENAMEL). There were 25 of each version given to FLUTTERSHY for the idea for the coin.

Wonderful.... Thank you all for the help! And a special thanks to you GeocoinGuy.

I think that this was a group coin done at some time.
We enjoyed waking up when ever we wanted. We found this wonderful little restaurant call the Berry Patch. It only had 4 tables, and had a small gift shop attached.
