I used to activate every single coin I got. Now I don't. Just isn't worth my time and it's easier to sell unactivated coins over activated ones that carry some history.

Goody gumdrops! No more need to have an unpublished cache to store my collectibles in! YAY!

The other side of the Mickey Diver must remain a mystery per request of Mickey Diver

Are you sure you don't mean "gc.com" as in geocaching.com? GP.com has nothing to do with geocaching or geocoins....

Darn..someone else found you a troll doll with green hair? I just found the teeny tiny one under my daughter's bed.

Now that is a total bummer.

Tax returns are great for funding a personal coin

I have a teeny tiny troll doll with neon green hair around here somewhere. Got it at an event last year and then my kids stole it...

Congrats to all the winners. Thanks for the cointest Tsun!

What a very lovely thing these people do for a living!! I voted and the animal was a bear.

Mine arrived today! Thanks!

We had a good setup going on at Geocoinfest SLC. You should contact balkamper13 to see how it was run.

I have a geocoin that was supposed to visit NASCAR race tracks around the U.S..... It's in Portugal now...

Does anybody know if all the coins being sold by CENTRAL METAL CORP like above are fakes? I just saw that he has a lot of dog coins listed right now and the back side say they are trackable. It also says Rising Sun Mint. From doing research it seems a lot of people are weary of CMC. They are also selling the Knights Templar coin on their website. Thank goodness when you click on the image on their website it provides you with a large picture so you can read everything on it.

Very nice!

My picks are: 9, 14, 18, 19, & 23. My favorite board game is Life.

I've had that happen to me a few times. I just write them back telling them that virtual logging is frowned upon and that I won't give them a list of my coins.

He says he'd prefer a spanking I'll blame you for my cold instead of my son! LOL!

I think that's what the OP noted. If the vendor happens to ship a defective product, it should be replaced quickly. However if a buyer sits on the product for (in this case) months and it changes hands one or more times, he's arguing that it's become the buyer's responsibility. tsun, why don't you publish a return policy that states returns are only accepted from the original buyer and must be done within some number of days? Of course this assumes you aren't already doing so The OP only noted that it was the vendor's responsibility to fix the problem if the defect is noticed by the buyer. What I was getting at is that VENDOR's need to perform quality control before shipping coins. A business owner should care about the products it ships because if they don't then consumers won't keep coming back for more (well at least I wouldn't). Not all vendor's perform quality control on their coins. It just comes straight to their doorstep and right into a mailer and on its way to the consumer. (Kelly) When you ship 500 or more coins at a time, please let me know how puilling out each coin works for you. How many times have I pulled an entire coin design or version of a coin because it was flawed? There was the ET 2008 design that was screwed up and I made everyone wait. The Dragonfly Talisman Johnny Cache Edition was pulled from even being sold when they came out and then there was the gem problem with them where I replaced alot of coins. I cheked every one of them before they left. However when the majoirty of coins you ship look good and you've stared at them for hours while packing a good 500 at a time, you are bound to miss one. Heck, I even pack a few orders wrong because I'm up late packing and shipping. I think your statement works for someone who makes a personal coin once a year and sells a few and trades a few as it's realisitc to be "perfect" in your quality control but let's not assume that those of us packing hundreds of coins at a time for hours strait aren't looking at th coins because I DO as they are going in envelopes. I may miss something really small on the coin or it may get damaged enroute. So again my point still stands, make sure you check your coins when they get to you because things go wrong in shipments too, coins do get damaged and it doesn't mean the vendor did improper quality control. Is it really that hard to do? tsun Wasn't me (Kelly) that posted last night, it was my other half . I don't really think he meant to imply that you yourself don't perform quality control. I think he was just saying in general that both ends need to do their part in checking over the coin. I'm off to rest now and try to get over whatever it is my son brought home from school

I agree with you to a point. I honestly believe that initially it is the responsibility of the vendor to provide the customer a quality made product. The vendor should conduct their own quality control once the product arrives from the mint. I understand that certain blemishes or the like can go unnoticed by one person, so mistakes will me made. If the vendor misses something during their QC inspection and the consumer happens to see the blemish then they can contact the vendor to fix the issue.

All gone! Thanks everyone!
