Odyssey Voyager

hi, can you post an update of what you still have available for sale? thanks!

this list is a good idea to review when your geocoin arrives. i would like to add that just because a geocoin you are interested in obtaining is "unactivated", this doesn't automatically mean "mint/pristine/new" condition. before you spend your hard earned cash on a geocoin, ask the seller/trader to share an honest opinion and information about any blemishes, damage, of defects. with that said, i have been fortunate that most buyers/traders have been happy with the geocoins i've provided, however, we should all remember that these geocoins are not being made by the best mint companies in the world, or by the best coin makers, or with the best equipment that money can buy. these geocoins are basically a "jeep" model and not a "lexus" luxury vehicle, they are built to take the beating of a geocaching world. if they are beautiful or highly detailed, that is just extra icing on the cake! i don't expect the quality of a "commemorative high priced gold piece" when i receive a geocoin. as mentioned before, they are not the best made of items, they are handled by quite a few people at the factory, they are sometimes hap-hazardly loaded into boxes, they travel thousands of miles across the oceans in a cargo hold, abused by customs and postal employees in every nation before arriving at the distributor for yet another abusive journey through the postal system before they finally reach the vendors hands. wow! it truly is a miracle if they survive all of this in a "pristine/mint" condition indeed! so if these little "jeeps" have a few minor battle marks, i consider it a badge of honor! i will check for obvious defects and mint errors and replace these before selling, but if there is a small dent or a scratch, please be forgiving, as this little metal warrior has been through quite an ODYSSEY VOYAGE before it graced your palm.

i've seen some cachers that, for one reason or another, will wait days, weeks, and even months, before logging a "discovery". i assume they either misplaced the tracking number somewhere, or perhaps got pre-occupied with something else. it happens.

thanks to "Dale n Barb" for retrieving the activation codes for my 2.125 inch tengwars. i appreciate the help.

just another question out of curiosity...are you going to have the engraving or laser etching done locally or will you order a batch of the proxy geocoins with tracking numbers from the factory (in china)? this would probably determine the overall turn-around time, right?

now THAT is a great idea! kudos!

cool idea! this is one of those..."why didn't i think of that?!" moments...lol...my question for you: is there a way to substitute the tracking number on this "proxy geocoin" with a geocoin that was stolen or missing? just curious.

wow! that was a super fast delivery from New Mexico to Germany! you are very welcome, and i am glad you liked your Hades Trojan Horse! please share your Hades with all your friends and family!

Yes but so are the American's that will be an excellent match to watch! Canada vs. USA on Feb. 21 at 4:40 PM PST. i am marking it on my calendar!

i received my two large 2.125 inch tengwars today! awesome! well worth the wait! with that said, is there anyone interested in trading their large 2.125 inch "GOLD ON SILVER - SHINY" for my large 2.125 inch "SILVER ON GOLD - SATIN" ??!! i meant to order a gold on silver edition and i actually checked the wrong box by mistake. if anyone is interested in this trade, please PM me or email through my profile. thanks!

i'm going to keep mine in a collection as "discovery only" for the time being. i have heard that some geocoiners can make a really nice quality proxy with modeling clay to form a mould or mold, and then using "epoxy resin" to create a nice replica thats durable and very close to the original. i've been tempted to try making a few, but i just haven't bought the materials at the craft store yet. something to think about i guess.

wow!...the womans canadian hockey team is winning 18 to 0 agaist the womans slovakian team! and there is still 7 minutes to go in the game! they are very very good!

i watched the opening ceremonies last night. very cool. i love all the olympic tradition and celebration. even with the technical glitch, i thought the ceremony rocked! although i could probably name several nations with only 1 competing athlete off the top of my head, the information on all participating nations and number of athletes is available online and fairly easy to find if you google it. i'll let someone else post the winning answers.

there seems to be different numbers on the required minimum thickness and diameter of the medal, but this is the information i found online about olympic medals: Olympic Solid Gold Medals The last Olympic gold medals that were made entirely out of solid gold were awarded in 1912. Modern Olympic Medals The Olympic medals are designed especially for each individual Olympic Games by the host city's organizing committee. Each medal must be at least three millimeters thick (some say 6mm now) and 60 millimeters in diameter (some say 70mm now). Also, the gold and silver Olympic medals must be made out of 92.5 percent silver, with the gold medal plated in six grams of 24K gold. Bronze medals are usually zinc or copper and plated in a bronze color finish.

long live the raven!

even among the other designers and artists there are critics who either like this unique design or dislike it, calling this a "potato chip" design...lol...i like something different and originality in a coin. kudos to the designer for thinking outside the round box!

i was rooting for a few friends i have met here at the forums (you both are included) to win a trojan horse geocoin in the superbowl cointest. the cointest was really a lot of fun, so maybe i will have another giveway sometime in the near future. thanks for all the support through the forum.

you can now find these new editions at ebay, just search for "voyager geocoin" or "hades geocoin" or "poseidon geocoin". i've also uploaded a new video at youtube with a few pictures of these "final judgment" editions...please enjoy: The Final Judgment Edition Video
