Count me in on this one. I have 1 v1 coin. Nice to see that v2 is trackable

I promised I would listen to all suggestions, so here I go :
I was able to get the layout changed, and the coin now says clearly:
'Ellandel visited China'
see here
http://www.my-geocoin.com/gb/loc_capchina.html
I don't have enough space on this layout for the date of the first cache find, but that will be for the next coin. Any more suggestions ?
Cheers
Ellandel
Actually, you could make 'Ellandel visited China' in a larger bold font , put the date and the cache below a smaller chinese flag.
WIth the Chinese flag so large it looks to be a Country coin.
Just a suggestion.

wow I lost track of these coins. I got the first set but I didn't recall getting an invoce for the remaining sets? Was this an automatic email sent to previous buyers? I hope I get one of the remaining sets.... It would be such a disappointment to only have one coin of the complete set.

Definitely interested in this one. DW has spoiled us all with the double dragon. Your coins are a now a must have.
-
Depending on the price I'd be in for a couple of each metal too. Our personal coins should be in by then too so are you taking trades?
Hi Lady Bee!
I am not sure if I will be doing any trades at this time Since this is a state coin, My goal would be to have them all sold or released in to caches. If sales slow down or there are extras I may considering it as I was not able to get a club to sponsor for the coin and am doing it all myself.

Hi all!
There will be a website for this coin. There are no preorders and I am not taking reservations. I will post the link to the website prior to the sale.
-
Count me in for a couple as well. Love the Dragon I was born in the year of the Dragon....

ordered my 2

--- UPDATE ---
I am expecting the sale of the MASS Geocoing to start Thanksgiving weeked. Stay tuned..... for the exact date and time.

Very nice coin - I'd like one.
Is this a personal coin or was it produced by a group of MA cachers? Just wondering.
This is a state coin produced by me as there were no official MASS organization to sponsor a coin.

The 500 NA comes with a Li-ion batterry. The 500 LE comes with an adapter that allows you to put in AAA bats. If the 500 LE is $30 cheaper than the NA, buy it, because if you want it to be rechargeable, you have to buy a $20 battery and a #10 cable. On the other hand, you can just buy the 500 NA and gat a bat. adapter for $9.
Thanks! I found a deal for the 500 NA for $165 (no tax/free ship) should get it in by the end of next week. Where can you get a AAA bat apdater? Magellan doesn't have this on their site.

Looking seriously at the 500 as a color upgrade to my SporTrak Pro. But I have noticed that there is a 500 and 500LE the difference being the LE can take 3AAA batteries. Tell me will the LE also take the Li battery pack that comes standard on the 500?
Thanks in advance to your replies

PM sent for one of each metal just in case some become available or if extra are being minted.
Thanks! Please let me know if there is a chance to get these coins.

I do believe there are some (locationless, virtual, webcam) caches that should be on wm.com. But there are many other caches (virtuals) that should stay on gc.com. In Boston along the freedom trail would be perfect for caches of a virtual nature. Finding historical landmarks and plaques relating to history or an event that occured at a specific location. I wish there could be some exemptions in the review process to be able to place virtuals on gc.com.

. I thought the coin was misspelled. Even though I checked and double checked everything on the coin a hundred times.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
