+markta Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) I'd like to join for 4 coins each too. (one for me and 3 for caching). Thanks! Edited July 28, 2005 by markta Quote
MarcusArelius Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I am starting to have second thoughts about the coin game. I already have one hobby, geocaching. This is starting to become an entirly new one. I don't think Moun10Bike realized what he was starting 4 years ago. Quote
+KC0GRN Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I think eventually geocoins will hit critical mass and there'll be less interest in people aquiring them. Mainly the costs of keeping up are starting to get a bit out of hand for some people. Quote

+KirklandExplorers Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 Wow, go on vacation and ignore your email for a day and the rumors start to flow Here is what I want to do with this group (nicely stated by Shop99er!). 50 members who will buy 2 coins each. I anticipate the cost to be about $5 each but of course can change up or down (a buck or two) but will be sold at cost. No limitations on who joins, only the first 50. I have heard from CA, AK, OR, WA as wanting to join. I don't care! Produce 2 to 3 coins per year and have fun doing it. I would like to see a rotating group of 5ish help design each coin and be assigned to come up with ideas. Of course I will coordinate the minting and to smooth out the process. I want to see some really great looking coins that we will all be proud of owning. Does that help? I will get a list together of the group and send an email to everyone on the list. Communciation will be by email of course. This forum is great to post messages but realistically we will do it through direct email and a place to post ideas (yahoo.groups?) that won't confuse the masses not in the group. Now, your assignment, dust off your hats and start thinking of ideas... Thanks! Quote
+cpparrothead Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I would like to join if its not too late. Quote

+KirklandExplorers Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) We are close to the maximum number so no more at this time Now let's get a coin going! Edited August 1, 2005 by KirklandExplorers Quote
+Go JayBee Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Hope I'm not too late....count me in for 2 Quote
+KC0GRN Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 If I'm not too late add me in for 2. If I am, I'll just have to suffer without one. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 I have 46 total with the 3 late additions but I know I missed a couple in the spreadsheet. If someone wants to be put on the waiting list let me know. Quote
YemonYime Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I'll take the last spot if possible! Nothing like last minute. Emailing you also. Quote

+Prying Pandora Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Each Cacher will buy 2 coins (how about 1 gold and 1 silver?). You're kidding, right? I signed up when you said they were only going to be about $5. Quote
+Allanon Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 "Gold" and "Silver" are just colors to some, and not necessarily the precious metal ones. It appears that 'gold' means bronze colored and 'silver' is either nickel or pewter...although at some time in the future, the actual gold or silver may be used, it's not currently on the plans.

+LittleBlue Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Hmm- Allanon put my name in here for me last week, but I didn't see it on the list. Could you please add me? Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) The gold and silver was just an idea and still stays in the $5ish price range. We have cheaper metals in Wasington than Alaska Here is the new list as of 8/1/05. http://www.geocities.com/rgerth2000/Coin_Club_List.xls Edited August 2, 2005 by KirklandExplorers Quote
+willcall Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Any chance you'll do 3 each? Still think it would make a nice trade bait. A series of 150 (with 50 staying with original owners) would still be a pretty scarce offering. I'm grateful to be on the list in any case -- thanks KirklandExplorers Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 That will be discussed down the road by the group once we get the other details worked out... Quote
+SeabeckTribe Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 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? OK... This probably sounds like a stupid question. What does MIGO stand for? All I can find is stuff about Michigan. Quote

+Cornerstone4 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 The group has been meeting over the last several days and we will be finalizing the group name by Friday evening. We also have good idea of what the first coin is going to look like. Up to this point, only 15 of the 50 group members have logged into the group to participate in the discussion and voting process. If you want to have some say, please log in ASAP and make your voice heard! Quote

I don't see any links to the "group" on this thread and haven't received any email about it either. Quote
