+Cav Scout Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) *snicker* Must have something to do with that RED text Don't get your head stuck in there to far... ? If anyone is wanting to know what I meant. Red text here in Iraq is a code word the Scouts use for danger zone. Red TEXT means "danger zone" RED is for Danger Target/ AIF/terrorists/IED/SVBIED Enemy X kill/destroy/bypass Traveling overwatch/contiue mission/ to move after engagement/move to next objective/ Saying don't get your head in to far means "don't walk into the danger zone". I thought it was strange that someone would know what RED TEXT means, and I was right nobody knew what it meant. . Military talk.... My apologies for making anyone upset. Atlanta Gal this is Cav Scout, acknowledge in sequence(please reply), I will stop the Military talk, A7(my call sign) out(leaving the net), Charlie Mike (continue mission....)

+Cav Scout Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I am hugely sorry and deeply apologize for making anyone upset. The military joggin I used was only in reference to RED TEXT. Something we use here everyday in Iraq. There is also, RED AIR(bad guy aircraft, RED LINE(lining up Soldiers for inspection, RED REPORTS(personel and equipment), and there are several others we use. SORRY, SORRY, SORRY Edited October 12, 2005 by Cav Scout

+AB4N Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 $505, eh? Anybody what to speculate now on what a V1 Moun10Bike would go for? (not that I'm selling mine). It's been discussed in the past that it would go for $500 or so. I think we all agree that a charity auction raises prices that people will pay (because of the good cause), but anybody want to guess on what a non-charity acution fora V1 would pull? Personally, I still think $400 - $500. A V1 Moun10Bike!? I don't think a charity would affect the selling price at all on that one. There are some people that are just plain crazy

I'm just glad pdx finally threw in the towel before I had to take out a second mortgage. As I said in another thread, I view this as a donation to Habitat for Humanity, and I just happen to get a fine coin in the bargain.

No I aint selling or bidding just looking. Yes the 2003 is real. I helped design it (Nurse Dave used to be an Oregonian - he gets the lion's share to the credit). The coin is actually copper. It looks like a large penny. The pic on ebay isn't a very good one.
+Big JohnP Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) Yep, I can also vouch for the 2003 Oregon coin. Back on April 14th, 2005, I picked one out of a cache in the woods behind the Bell Helicopter plant near Highway 15 in Blainville, Quebec (GC3F30) . I brought it to our Cache Event in Montreal to show it off, and it was later released in Joliette, Quebec (GCN8EA). Logged it on the Oregon Geocoin tracking site. It looked just like the USA Geocoin but had a different shade as I remember. Edited October 15, 2005 by Big JohnP

+budd-rdc Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 <snip>However, I can't be 100% certain on this, but I believe most, if not all of the version 1 coins were released into the wild, and inteded as travel bugs. It wasn't until later that he added the line about it being ok to keep them as part of a personal collection. In that instance, I think he would retain ownership just like a regular travel bug. I'm not saying this is write or wrong, I am just throwing this out for arguments sake. C4 Keep in mind that not all Version 1's have the "If you prefer, you are also welcome to keep it and give it a new home" in the Current GOAL text. Personally, I prefer not to see any Moun10Bike Coins on eBay, even for a trial run. Besides having historical value, these coins also have mythical value which will be cheapened by monetary value.

Meteorites are big at the gem & mineral shows (Tucson). I bought one myself one year - but never thought of adding it as an "inclusion" to a coin! The price for that coin is excessive, but the meteorite mitigates that somewhat. I'd like to embed a tiny lcd screen in a coin and send "video podcasts" to it from all the geocaching events... (Don't laugh - somebody will do something like this when the technology is ready.) Remember you heard it from me first!

To me, a meteorite is more valuable if it looks undisturbed. I would have thought that engraving it with anything would devalue its meaning.

I'll add that someone else said that a geocoin should be something you could find in a cache (not those exact words...) and I truly doubt that any will be found in caches. Of course I could have to eat those words, but then we would know who signature item it is.
