    The Fraher Family Geocoin

    in Trackables

    Posted · Edited by The Fraher Family

    For those of you inquiring about The Fraher Family Geocoin being sold on GCC. All coins were purchased, yet not all were paid for resulting in the appearance of zero coins left. Miscalculations being corrected, there are about 50 coins left. I believe this may be a common happening to other coins as well. Everybody wants the goods, they just don't want to pay.

    Additional Costs To Geocoins.

    Thanks so much Junglehair, Not so lost Puppies and Bad Andy, that's exactly the type of info I needed. Ya know if someone took the time to make up a book about geocoins, minting them, metals etc. basically eferything invovled in getting your own coin, it could probably turn a pretty profit! For fun, make it GC trackable with it's own icon even! In all seriousness though, the links at the top of the forum don't give nearly enough information for the newbie geocoinaholic. There are so many questions I still have but in all honesty am usually afraid to ask here. I bet others have questions too but feel intimidated. A really good "How to" would make the process so much easier!

    :ph34r: Please feel free to email with all and any questions!

    Additional Costs To Geocoins.

    I know I saw a post that broke this all down but I can't seem to find it. What other costs should I take into consideration outside of the cost of minting?

    For shipping I go to USPS.

     

    Prices vary due to your own indiviual needs. Some don't pay for coins, icons, and envelopes purchased via USPS. Envelopes w/ bubbles can be purchase at Walmart, labeling can be done on disk labels. Sometime online postage is more expensive than at the post office.

    Storing/displaying Of Coins

    thecachingplace.com sells very nice, sturdy pages.

    (I close mine with tiny bradsthat I found at Michaels in the scrapbooking section.)

     

    :ph34r:No they don't! I ordered one set and I have the same problem as they fall out quite easily! Needs to be taped.

     

    As for storing:

    I have a binder with dividers. The first pocket is a list of coins for that section, following is the pocket sleeves. Some of my coins are displayed on a wooden coin stand on our fireplace mantle.

     

    As for grouping:

    *Personal Coins (Other peoples)

    *Group coins (GGA, NEFGA)

    *State Coins (GA, WA, NM, MI)

    *Event (CITO, Addicted)

    *GCC (ROT 13)

    *Military (Hubby's squad coins)

    *Neilnesc (Not another micro)

    *Our Coins (Our milage coin)

    *Milestone (100 Caches, 100 TB)

    *Unactivated (Possible trade, e-Bay)

    *Trades (Usually just a print out of coins coming and going

    Locked Logs On Coins

    I just noticed that two of my coins that I had made virtual, cannot be logged any more. Does anyone know why I cannot decide what to do with my own coins.

     

    Mabey this is not the land of the free any more.

     

    Mabey we should all bow to the mighty Groundspeak and ask for  humble permission before deciding what to do with our own property.

     

    I have never heard of something as stupid as this.

     

    Next time I buy a new car mabey I should ask the dealer if there is a certain car wash that I am required to take it to.

     

    My coin did not come with a set of instructions on what was, and was not allowed.

    Virtual TB = Membership Cancellation

     

    The links below take you to conversations from Jeremy that the virtual tbs and coins are illegal. If you are cought or reported you will have your membership cancelled. If you own a virtual item - remove it! If you logged a virtual item - stop! I am not sure how trading one-for-one would go but my advice is if you take/give a coin number than you you should give/take a coin number directly to the owner. As for tbs there is a virtual tb graveyard, you log the first as a find than after that a note. I would take this serious, I have a feeling as of '06 this could be hit upon hard. I know we all have done this, so please take this as a sign of help from one cacher to another.

    Kansas Coin

    in Trackables

    Posted · Edited by The Fraher Family

    As of 3 o'clock this afternoon (central time) all but three peoples Kansas coins have been shipped.  I will contact the three that I have a question for then ship them tomorrow.

     

    Remember that activation is through Geocoin Club.

     

    I would also like to say that I broke two of my local post offices records.  One for the most packages shipped at one time (298), and the most time spent mailing packages (I was there over three hours).

     

    :) Yeah! I don't think our small town post office would even know what to do. So can you feel your fingers yet...?
