Merkman checking in; willing to do what it takes to make Geocoinfest Twin Cities 2010 a reality!!!

Congrats to Weldor and ~tasia~ It was a close one for number of geocachers!!! Congrats!!!!

Wow that weldor guy is in 1st AND 3rd!!!

Ok I got it now. The first letter was a S not an 8 and not a B. I guess that makes sense since it is a signal coin.

I have the following coin and every time I try to log it or look for it I get an error on the gc.com page. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...55-d8e11b5695ae I have tried multiple combinations for the tracking code (thinking I may not have read it correctly, ie is that an 8 or a B?) via the trackable items menu link or the actual log page for the coin to no avail. What do you do in an instance like this?

There are several versions of this coin. Here are the details The 2007 MnGCA Geocoin 4 color imitation hard enamel front 2 color imitation hard enamel back with custom printing 1.75” Diameter 4 mm thick (nice thick coin!!) Trackable on Geocaching.com with custom icon and name Metal Types 5 Extremely Limited Edition Copper Coins ------------------------------- These 5 coins will only be available on future MnGCA created E-Bay auctions. Have not been sold yet 50 Limited Edition Gold Sets ------------------------------- First Minting 50 Sets (1 Antique Gold Coin and 1 Shiny Gold Coin) SOLD OUT These coins will not be re-minted. Regular Edition Coins ------------------------------- First Minting ------------- 50 Antique Silver Coins - SOLD OUT 50 Shiny Silver Coins - SOLD OUT Second Minting 100 Antique Silver Coins 100 Shiny Silver Coins two-tone member coins --------------------------- First Minting - 45 coins - SOLD OUT Second Minting - 25 coins - Limited number available for MnGCA members as of a certain date. I should have added that the 2007 coins will not be reminted after these last ones are sold out. When these are gone that is it for the 2007 coin. Of course we may have a 2008 version in a few months.

Here is the icon

Yes these are beautiful coins. Both in look and feel. You won't be disappointed.

The northern lights are actually printed right on the top of black hard enamel. The outlines of the trees are actually metal. This made a great effect that I haven't seen on any other coins. It was a tall order for Rusty to fill but he did it!!!

Yes it was a typo on the Original Post. These are the 2007 Geocoins

LE sets are SOLD OUT. There are a limited number of Antique Copper Coins left. These will not be reminted so if you want some let me know. -Merkman

There is only 1 possibly 2 (depending if the one person pays for the coins) LE sets (1 Antique Gold and 1 Antique Silver) available. Once those 2 are gone the LE sets will be SOLD OUT. Thanks to everyone who has purchased these. E-mail me if you would like the last set.

Now my shiny gold is up on e-bay also. http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-MnGCA-Limited-Edi...1QQcmdZViewItem The proceeds of this one will go to the MnGCA for thier geonickel project also.

Sorry, I just can't imagine eating something that has been soaked in lye for a day...even if it has been rinsed out! It only looks good there since you can't smell it.

I would like some clarification please On the CCC coin it says Can these coins be traded for other coins?

mmmmm lutefisk
