Pacific Nw Coin Group

July 26, 2005

I was just reading about the MIGO coins that are produced in a set of 100 and limited to members only. What about starting a similiar NW group? Any interest?

July 27, 2005

Count me in on the group.

Sure, right after we get the 2005 WA coins done.

The problem is the economics of scale!

We had thought of doing a WSGA members coin, but.. with only a hundred or so members the overhead really increases the cost per coin.

Would there be interest in a WSGA Members Only Coin?

YES!!!

There SHOULD be some members only 'perks' to try to bring the membership up (I know there is for the camp out, but that's the only one I recall seeing)...but that's just my opinion and not necessarily that of management...

July 27, 2005

To mint the coin you can get by for about $5 a coin when doing 100 of them. I would like to see 100 cachers or maybe even 50 cachers that would buy two of them when done. We could do one design like MIGO that would always be on the top of the coin and then have a different scenery in the background. I like their idea of a pumpkin for this Fall and then something different for the winter. Here are the steps and I would love to coordinate this attempt at it:

1. Get 50 members signed up that will commit to spending $10 for 2 coins.

2. Develop our logo

3. Develop a plan for how many coins per year and start to work on them. Realistically I could see doing 2 to 3 coins per year just for the heck of it. I would see a core group (5 to 10) that would be assigned the design for each coin with input from the other members.

Thoughts?

I will start to track the first 50 members and go from there.

Yeah sure, I'll buy two. I'm confused though - are they $5 each or $10 each? You're saying it both ways.

Corrected it

Is is limited to NW area only? If not then count me in!!

July 27, 2005

Wasn't this started by Hydnsek? Not that I spend so much time in the forum, that I can be clued in on everything. Just wondering if we are going to Splitsville here.

But yes, I am glad to be in, and I am glad to commit $10 for 2 coins.

we would also be interested.

July 27, 2005

The one started by Hydnsek is to buy the coins others are selling. This group is for 50 cachers who want to have their own coin designed with a NW logo on it. Confusing, huh? Check out MIGO's coins.

Yes to both. I am willing to buy two of the Pacific NW coins and I would love to see a WSGA coin get started also. As for the Pacific NW coins put Robinego on your list for two also. Thanks

Ditto for me on both.

July 27, 2005

Sign me up

July 27, 2005

I'd like some of the PNW coins if they get made. I'd buy 3-10 of them.

July 27, 2005

Would favor a broader WSGA issue, and would be interested in 2-3 of a special issue. I wouldn't be surprised if more than 50 interested members (or new members) showed up. It is also desirable to have an extra or two for trading (at least one would stay in most of our own collections). If you went up to 200, it would still be a pretty limited minting.

July 27, 2005

I'd be interested in a couple also.

Put me down for 2 or 4 I will pay 10 or 20

July 27, 2005

Hey, I've got a Jackson in my wallet right now.

Sign me up for four, please.

Thanks!

Ok, there seems to be interest.

I'll run it past the rest of the board and see what we can get started.

1.4k · July 27, 2005

I'd buy two. So it depends on how you limit it. I've been a member of MIGO for quite a while and order their coins.

July 27, 2005

Count me in!

July 27, 2005

Great! I will track the number of cachers to hit 50 with the goal of minting 100 (2 per). We can look at expanding down the road if enough interest.

Edited July 27, 2005 by KirklandExplorers

1.3k · July 27, 2005

Yep. I'd go in on that.

July 27, 2005

Count me in for 2 also.

July 27, 2005

Ding-dong! gg chimin' in for 2 please.

July 27, 2005

At $5 a coin I'm in for at least 5 coins.

3.7k · July 27, 2005

I'm in for 5-10 coins!

5.6k · July 27, 2005

I'll take some too.

One question, "member only coins" means what exactly? Only members may buy? Or coins only for members (not for other collectors)?

July 27, 2005

I'd like to be in on this. Put me down for 5 coins each time. Thanks!

2.8k · July 27, 2005

KirklandExplorers, since you volunteered to be the 'fearless leader', can you make and post some definite rules here for all to see?...Just to save everyone time and effort and possible hurt feeling later (or now)...

Per the above posts I have the following at a minimum that should be answered:

• Are we limiting this to 50 people with a 2 coin purchase for a total of 100 coins?

• Or are we going to be allowed to purchase as many coins as we want?

• Are purchases going to be limited to WSGA members only? Do those 'members' need to reside in the PNW? If so, what is the definition of PNW?

• How about a running list of people that have signed up/have been accepted?

Thanks in Advance.

Great! I will track the number of cachers to hit 50 with the goal of minting 100 (2 per). We can look at expanding down the road if enough interest.

If I read this correctly he is wanting 50 people to buy 2 coins each which equals 100 coins. The first 50 to sign up are in.

This is for a PNW coin not a WSGA coin. The WSGA coin is completely seperate.

Just for the record, 'tudles, I saw that...but it appears that not everyone did since there were 'pre orders' for more than 2 already appearing...

And as for the 'members only' thing, it's still confusing even to me with the various comments above by RWW, that's why I want clairification. I read it as a WSGA Members Only coin... :(

Also, BTW, LittleBlue is wanting in as well. I talked to her today while at her place to cut lumber for her new deck and shade system.

Thats because that is what I thought was being proposed.

We can do it fairly easily if everyone wants it! Obviously there has to be demand, but these days thats not hard.

Oh good...I'm right for once...

That's what I was advocating anyway!

July 28, 2005

Welllll, maybe I was the one who misunderstood. I did not get the feeling that it was a WSGA coin. Maybe we need some answers from KirklandExplorers to set us straight.

In conversations via e-mail with KirklandExplorers, this is what I have come to understand the rules to be regarding this coin group. If I make an error here, I have no doubt that he'll correct it/me toot-sweet.

1) The membership of this group will be limited to the first 50 cachers that sign on.

2) Each member of this group will be able to buy 2 coins per season.

3) Purchases are limited to the members of this group.

4) This is not associated with the WSGA in any way, shape, or form.

Remember, the above info is stricly my interpertation of the information that I have received from KE.

2.8k · July 28, 2005

See, already two different 'opinions'...

And now for something completely different...THE REAL TRUTH!...KE, it's your stage...

BTW, I'm in either way.

Can you say 'slut'?...I knew you could... :laughing:

July 28, 2005

We would like to be on the list for two! Thanks.

(not sure what that comment by allanon was about in the previous message so I will not comment---- )

Thank you that is what I also understood it to be. I just didn't have the finesse to say it as you did. :laughing:

July 28, 2005

We would like to be added to the list also.

How many people do you have so far?

Thanks

Terrible Ts

July 28, 2005

We would be in for four.
