    Wooden Nickel Trading

    Dr. Neal, I think I have one of yours titled "Out caching with the boys" and another "Out Caching with my Heine" or something similar. If you have other nickels, I'd be happy to trade! Do you not have one or two of mine already?

    It's been a LOOOONNNGGGG Time since I've been in these Wooden Nickel trading forums. I know there are some new faces since I've last been active, so I would like to resurrect this thread and see if there are any folks out there that would like a copy or two of my "Boots..." handcrafted wooden nickel. I'e got about 20-30 made at the moment, but I'd like to get back into making them again. I think it's been a few years!

     

    I believe that you can view an image of my coins at http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii267/Boots_treadlightly/Geocaching_Sig_Items/BootsSig4.jpg

     

    Also, if you are interested, I've photographed most of the nickels that I've received over the years. If you'd like to see my inventory, check it out HERE: http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii267/Boots_treadlightly/Geocaching_Sig_Items/

     

    Note that this inventory hasn't been updated in a couple of years. I've probably got over 200 nickels and poker chips in my collection now... probably another 10-15 pathtags, and a handful of coins as well.

    I've got a photo album online of most of my collected nickels. you can check it out at: http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii267/Boots_treadlightly/Geocaching_Sig_Items/

     

    Specifically, here is the one that I am trading currently. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii267/Boots_treadlightly/Geocaching_Sig_Items/BootsSig4.jpg

     

    I periodically create new designs for my nickels, so if you don't like this one, wait a little bit, and maybe I'd hit on a design that you like!

    I've got about a month and a half before I graduate from Grad School. Once that it over, I am hoping to get back into caching a bit more. Homework has been a killer for me for the past 3.5 years, but I am looking forward to saying goodbye to that. I will definitely be back into the nickel game. I bought a box of wooden nickel seconds from a manufacturer. I design my coins on the computer, print them out, and affix them over the wood, so the errant designs pre-printed on the nickels are not an issue. These "seconds" are much cheaper. I think I bought 500 or more (sold by weight) for about 30 bucks? It was a while ago, so numbers are fuzzy.

     

    Anyway, count me in. I have GrnXham(?) and Speedracer, and most of the old "regulars" in here, as we've already traded, but as for the new folks? I'd say lets get a trade on! In June!

    I also wonder if the number of new logs might be a reflection of the number of event caches being hosted in recent years. One event can quickly rack up many logs. This is especially so if you are in a region where multiple-logging of events for each "event-only cache" is considered acceptable practice. It seems that there are more and more events every year. More players, more people that want to get everyone together. Just a thought.

    O.K., I know the answer is probably in here somewhere, but I honestly didn't want to read through 38 pages to find it.

     

    Does anyone know who still makes Wooden Nickels? I would love to get some more made. I had thought about doing the Poker Chips like a lot of folks are doing, but I really like the look and feel of the Wooden Nickels.

     

    Any help is appreciated!!!

     

    There are actually quite a few places that do it, but to be honest, I really didn't want to go wading through these 38 pages to find the link either. A google search for wooden nickels brought up a few that do it. I bought wooden nickel blanks from www.wooden-nickel.com, and affixed my own labels to them.

    Seeing this thread has reminded me of the wooden nickel collectors that are out there. I have about 20-30 wooden nickels and poker chips various shapes, styles and from different people. I was originally going to place them all in a new cache but figured before I did that I would see if any of you want them. Email me if you're interested and i'll give you a list of the ones I do have. Maybe we can work out a trade of some sort, a coin of your choice for multiple wooden nickels/poker chips.

    I haven't produced any nickels in quite a while, but I recently bought some 1.5" circular labels, and so it's got me to thinking about it again. Does anyone here buy their blank wooden nickels online? I am looking for an online source that can do a whole lot better than the $3 for 22 nickels that I get at the local craft store. There are lots of sellers online, but wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

     

    Since this is a 1.5" label, I am looking for a blank that does NOT have the rounded, beveled edges (that I so prefer to the flat sides, but oh well!).

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks to...

     

    drneal: I have recieved your wooden nickel in the post and will be displaying it in the exhibition http://coord.info/GC1X98A.

     

    slowdownracer: Your wooden nickels have arrived in the mail. Don't worry you will recieve some photos of visitors at your exhibit, comments, and my event wooden nickel.

     

    I'm still on the lookout for wooden nickels for the exhibition. I still haven't had delivery of my own nickels, but as soon as I do I will be mailing them out.

     

    Tavis, I would love to get in on that too, if you are still looking for nickels. Let me know. I am hoping to make a few from my new design, fairly soon.

    I have 3 "Out Cachin With The Boyz" wooden nickels left. As Logan died a month ago, there will be no more made. Anyone interested in a trade please PM me. If more than 3 are interested, the coins will be traded to the first 3 to respond.

    I'm holding a Geocaching Art Exhibition, showing the creativity used in Geocaching. The event, 'The Art of Geocaching' (http://coord.info/GC1X98A) will have a Wooden Nickel display, so I am on the lookout for wooden nickels as exhibits.

    ...

     

    If you still need more, I finished another batch today and would be willing to send you a couple. If you're interested, e-mail me and let me know where to send them. :)

     

    SarahBelle, I got your nickel in the mail a day or two ago! Beautiful. nicely done. I always appreciate the hand-drawn art, as I certainly can't do that stuff myself.

     

    I am sorry that it took me so long to get one out to you. I dropped it in the mail two days back, so hopefully you will get it in the mail soon.

     

    Kaboomcult, I found a few nickels that I still have but had forgotten about. If you are still interested, I'd love to trade. I will send you a note.
