Next up, here's the Geocaching 10 Years geocoin in gold and black nickel. This coin has three outer rings and a center globe that all spin.
And a couple of borrowed pictures of the antique gold version doing its tricks...
-
Antique gold Templar MMXI geocoin, also from the Math Trade.
-
And I was lucky enough to get a four-piece antique silver/polished nickel Aztek Puzzle geocoin in the Math Trade. This is a giant 4-coin set. Each of the four coins is trackable.

Black Widow coin from the Geocoin and Pin Club (October 2010).

Got some more geocoins in from the 7th International Math Trade. I was really pleased with the trades again. If you're not participating in it you should. It's a great way to trade coins. There were over 1,000 coins offered for trade.
Here's the Assassin's Respite antique silver and blue:

Okay, here's the pictures of the Caching on the Moon geocoin I got yesterday from MoonCat & KDT. This is probably the coin I was most excited about getting and it was high on my wish list. Reason? It comes with the deed to a parcel of land........... on the moon!!!
The other great thing about the coin is the tracking number starts with "MC" - for "Model Citizen", right?
Well, maybe not, but super cool anyway.
Thanks a bunch for the awesome coin, MoonKitty and KDT!

I got a package from kini_ont two days ago with two Geocaching 10 Years geocoins in it; one gold and one black nickel. I wasn't exactly sure what these were when I put them on my wish list, but as it turns out they are really awesome coins. They have three concentric rings that spin and a round earth coin in the center. They spin three different ways! Too cool!

Another geocoin was in the mailbox yesterday. This time it was an antique gold Templar MMXI from yanagi. I love the detail and theme of this coin. My daughter and I tried to translate the latin inscription but couldn't get all of it.
Thanks for the great coin, Thomas!

Great to see it made it. You may want to edit the image and blur our the tracking number.
It's all good. That's not the real tracking number. Thanks for the heads up, though.

I have a couple of proxies out there. All of them were crafted with something of substance attached along with a fair replica of the coin. All of them were released at least 1 year after the date the real coin went missing/stolen. All of them plainly state they are proxies in the titles so no one who can read should get confused that they are hunting a real coin.
I'm not going to let a coin thief steal the pleasure of watching my travelers move. I've done my part, I've released the real thing and have watched it die. Now I am reviving it so I don't let the few bad apples spoil it for the rest. If you move it or discover it, you get to keep the icon. If you don't like it - sorry but it isn't up to you to decide what I do with MY travelers.
If you choose to move it, I thank you for helping us keep our traveler alive.
WOW! That's EXACTLY what I do! I always release the original geocoin into the wild first. Sometimes they last for a while and get to travel around. Other times the only geocache they visit is the one I drop them in. After the original coin has been missing for over a year I glue a high-res photo of the coin onto a washer and send it back out as a replacement for the missing original coin. The name of the trackable coin is also changed to "*COPY* of MC's LOST/STOLEN ----- Geocoin". Oh, and the original coins always make at least one skydive with me before they're released -- so do the copies. The copies don't get picked up and moved as often as the original coins, but they sure last longer!

Okay, the 2007 Hong Kong geocoins have been placed into caches now to start their travels. Actually, they already traveled some with me and had a few extreme adventures before being released. A couple of the adventures even had video cameras rolling, so I posted links to the videos in the geocoins' logs. Hopefully these coins will travel far and wide and be seen and enjoyed by lots of geocachers.

I finally spent some time photographing another geocoin. This will be the next coin in my collection that gets sent out traveling. It's the two-tone 2007 Hong Kong geocoin made by Derek Wong.

Bennieboys haven't updated since early Feb. I suppose they've received mine it seems that this year the mail was quicker from Europe then from the US 
don't know why unless they're still using ponies 
AS promised here is a picture (2) of the coins traded for 
Thanks Chuck for hosting, a great job as always and thanks to all trading and non-trading partners, you made it very interesting and I got to see some great coin photos
Great coins!!!!
What is the coin called next to the Shadows Friend Geocoins?
I believe that is Oshndoc's Petrified Wood Compass geocoin.

I send out my packages last week.
Sorry for this, but i had a knee OP.
So i couldn`t walk to the post office.
Thanks, Los Muertos. The coin was in my mailbox yesterday. I hope your knee surgery went well and you are walking again.
That completes the math trade for me. All the coins I shipped have been received or replaced and I've gotten all the coins I was expecting.
Sent on 2/1: 15 packages, 23 coins

The latest Math Trade coin I got in: Caching on the Moon. This was one of my top picks in the Math Trade because it comes with the deed to a parcel of land on the moon printed on the back of the coin. What a great idea!
