Let me try too: B-5 I-24 N-32 G-55 O-72

No regrouping here either (as mentioned also via email)

I ordered a few too, including the last Peacock in store! And I have an extra Warm Lime and Antique Copper for trading (would have loved to get the Kiwi version though)

If you consider a 'prize' for the FTF something that doesn't need to be traded for, what happens if the FTF doesn't take it. If the STF takes it, is it still a prize, or should they trade for it now? I know it's (almost) all academic, since nardly any9ne apparently trades up r even anyway. All the good stuff disappears also from my caches in no time at all, with nothing or rubbish in return. And there are people who take good swag, trading it for a traveller, convinced they are doing the right thing. I think there is already plenty of room for confusion, without adding a concept of 'prizes' that you don't need to trade for. I think special swag for the TFT is fine, but they should leave something in its place. Or at least I didn't know the slogan had become 'trade up or even, unless it's a prize'.

Personally, I would consider such a 'prize' simply extra good swag and would definitely trade for it.

"Trade up or even" does not apply to trackables. Trackables just want to move from cache to cache (or so somewhere specific. Some cache owners mention in their listing that you should not take more trackables from the cache than you leave behind, but that is a bogus rule. Where trackables are concerned, the CO is not the ruling party, you are dealing with the trackable owners and they probably do want you to move their trackables along. "Trade up or even" is for swag.

That's what I did.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it P.S. Willem van der Decken is the (apparently fictitious) Flying Dutchman (maybe that sounds a bit more familiar)

Well, how hard can it be to make counterfeit copies of these pins?

Or you could stay away from ebay for a while (ducking)

Again, my point is that a big part of the fun in collecting something is to be able to show your collection to others. Showing geocoins to other geocachers without them being able to log them as discovered really isn't that much fun. I think it's a shame that activated and used are considered almost synonyms here, but that's why I also keep most of mine unactivated.

Well, circulated vs. non-circulated makes sense, but I do think it's a shame that activating is considered something similar. Again, who knows in the long run it may be considered added value! I propose an actrivation revolution! If we all just start looking at it differently, we can enjoy our coins more, as long as they are in our possession

I know that unactivated coins are more sought after than activated coins. So I guess for that reason a lot of people don't activate the coins in their collection. I think that is a bit of a shame, because showing your collection to others (and having them discover coins) is part of the fun. Personally, I have organized my coins alphabetically in binders (yes it's crazy, because with every new arrival a lot of coins need to moved to a new slot). I have activated the coins in my first binder, so all my coins with names starting with A, B, or C, can be discovered. So I can easily bring that binder to events or other get-togethers. Who knows, maybe in the future activated coins will be considered more interesting, because they have more history thanks to the logs. And as long they are only discovery logs, the coin shouldn't have travelled and remain in good condition. Coins are meant to be activated eventually, and who cares if that happens through adoption or otherwise. I'm curious to hear how others see this.

I wonder if hunting will be considered a family-friendly activity.

Officially the coin is located in a cache called "JayBee's Coin Stash". This very much sounds like JayBee's geocoin collection, aslo because it's a non-published cache (may people use non-published or archived caches for this purpose. Maybe you should contact JayBee for advice.

Does it say "Trackable on geocaching.com" or "Track this coin on geocaching.com" anywhere on the coin? If not, it is nont trackable on geocaching.com (maybe on some other site). If it does, you should have problems logging it (unless it's unactivated, bu you would be warmed about that when you enter the tracking code).

There are Hannibal coins for sale here.

Thanks! I was stupidly only looking for contact info in headers and footers! http://shop.geoswag.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/

I don't suppose you mean this one? It's a round coin with a rodent at least

I have a few orders outstanding at Geoswag, and was trying to get a status update from them. Now I'm not sure I've written to the right address (I wrote to shop at geoswag dot com). There is no contact email listed on their website as far as I can tell. Any tips anyone?

I can report that bruchino's card and coin have arrived. Thanks Secret Santa!

Glad she liked it - and nice to see the picture!

Do you have a price indication yet?
