How far away from San Diego can we live to join in?

August 25, 2005

I see no problem with anyone not in San Diego. I don't know about the others though. Have you looked in the forums for any groups near you? I doubt there are any. But I've heard that the COOL group orders lots of coins. 115 coins at a time. I'm hoping to keep this a small group. We'll see. :huh:

2.2k · August 25, 2005

Actually, COOL is not accepting any new members if I am not mistaken.

I don't have any problems with someone from outside the area joining. You'll just miss the pizza parties we have when we hand out coins! :huh:

C4

August 25, 2005

I ehar of Cool...... but as you stated theya re full.

I might jsut try to get the same thign started in my area here as well. Cool is a little further away than I can join the pizza parties also.

BUt it might give me a good reason to drive to southern california also!!! HAHA

August 25, 2005

Well, if it doesn't work out up there, come join us (well not in the physical sense).

You would think there would be someone in the San Francisco/Sacramento area interested, huh? :huh:

August 25, 2005

there are already two clubs up there...the Nurse Dave group and another one called the Bay Area Coin Club?? (orders huge amounts - 233 was last order)

August 25, 2005

What coins (besides CA :huh: ) do you have Steve?

Edited August 25, 2005 by nscaler

August 25, 2005

Well I looked around for it but couldn't find it. I'll keep searching. It is a lot of work trying to get sdome of these coins!!! HAHA takes longer to do this research than some of the harder code caches i have don!

August 25, 2005

I found a cacher named "bullit" ordering coins for the Bay Area coin club (or some name like that) in the forums. E-mail him and ask. :huh:

August 25, 2005

ahhh yes. that name is familiar

August 25, 2005

What coins (besides CA ) do you have Steve?

Alaska, pennsylvania, colorado, south africa, indiana, rhode island, washington.

on the way is new jersey, texas, and one other.

August 25, 2005

Welcome Fisnjack! I remember you at the geoevent.

I see C4 ordered 8 Wisconsin coins. Good job sir! :laughing:

2.2k · August 26, 2005

There was a new coin released sometime today in the coin thread. By the time I saw it, there were only 19 left. I tried to grab 8, then upped it to 10, but someone edited their post asking for all 19 at the same time!

I guess we'll have to wait and see if they include my order or not. I'll keep you posted.

C4,

When ordering coins, put in you are ordering for the SDGC group. Maybe they will give preference to a group? I know bullit is from the Bay Area Group, but he didn't say it.

2.2k · August 26, 2005

Good point on the group.

I just missed the cut on those coins. I am first on the waiting list though! We'll keep our fingers crossed.

C4

August 27, 2005

Looks like the NY NYGO coin design got finalized. Should be an order page coming up soon. Should we start ordering maybe eight coins from now on?

August 28, 2005

Ordered six of these for SDGC:

Also called the Donbadabon geocoin

Edited August 28, 2005 by nscaler

August 28, 2005

Also ordering some Opticsboy metal coins (4) and C4 had already ordered 2.

I'm also getting 40 of his "chips" @ .70 cents each for myself.

Of course, they will be available to the club, just my purchase.

Sweet thanks guys for placing these orders....I would have missed them.

Count me in for at least one each for any Personal Sig coins..........

I love the Virginia coin because I'm a hard core SCUBA diver. :wub:

August 28, 2005

Okay, guys (no gals yet) when you purchase any coins please:

1. Check first to see if anyone in the club has already ordered any (here and any previous posts on that thread).

2. Say you are purchasing for SDGC. (I even put SDGC spelled out in my signature)

3. Post here you have purchased the coin (a picture would be great) and how many.

And how many coins do we order? I've been ordering six now.

And we need someplace to keep a list of what coins have been ordered and by whom (great word). I'm putting all the coins I order (and trading for) on my cointracking page. Only $18 for a year and they are adding a PayPal option. That is how I ordered the VA cache coins.

The cointracking site is just an idea. If you could post your coins on a web site (yahoo is still free) and post your "coin list" in your signature line like I have.

Hmm... I just remembered that I have a personal web site at geocities (owned by yahoo) that I could use.

Sorry guys, I haven't been able to keep up with where we are at, but I just saw a post from Hammerjane for the new KTAG coins. (Kentucky Tennessee area Geocachers)

It looks like they are going fast, so I ordered 10 for the club.

August 29, 2005

Thanks Dave,

I wasn't sure to get them or not. There are a lot of personal coins out there.

I updated the list above.

Edited August 29, 2005 by nscaler

2.2k · August 29, 2005

I knew that all of us weren't in to the personal coins, but since this was more of a club coin, I went ahead. However, saying that, if anyone doesn't want this one, no worries. They limited it to 500, so that is rare enough that I will hang on to extras for trade bait.

C4

When should we plan a face-to-face get together for some coin exchanging? Maybe get some caches in the process?

This from the Minnesota Geocoin process:

" As far as our coin, we're actually in the final stages of choosing a design. We've kicked around many ideas, including some similar to what you asked about. Hopefully, we'll publish our final design choices for a vote soon. "

And you thought the Wisconsin coins sold out fast! (12 hours) The KTAG sold out in six!

I see that C4 ordered 5 and PW ordered another 4. Extras can be used for trades - no problem.

About getting together - A lot of these new coins aren't coming out until Mid-September. Sometime after that? Tentative date? Sept. 24th in the evening? I'll be out of town 10/1 - 10/8 on a Cruise. Mexican Riviera :lol: Get some Cabo caches.

Hi Group,

We may need to exchange numbers for important info!

I joined a group last month that is making 4 coins per year. It is a Northwest group, but they opened it up to anyone. The membership is limited to 50 members, and each member only gets 2 coins per issue. That will make them all very limited.

I just got a message that there are now 4 openings. First come first served.

If you are interested log in here. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PNGG/

Just a note. I have a friend that is leaving on vacation for two weeks, and I agreed to purchase any newly released coins for him while he is gone.

Over the next couple of weeks, if I am the first to see a new release, I will be ordering a larger than normal amount, so don't be alarmed. In addition, if one of you places an order for our club, I will be placing an additional order, providing there are any left! At the rate things have been selling out, that might not be possible.

C4

August 30, 2005

Do you want me to up the order on the AZ coins?

2.2k · August 30, 2005

I am trying to go through and log all of my orders so I can see what I have. When I got started, I was placing orders as fast as I could.

I haven't responded to all of our posts here, because I have some of the coins already committed to trades. I think I should have extras on most of them, so I will try to let you know.

Also, on some new purchases, I may make personal commitments over and above the coins we order as a group if at all possible. If I really like a coin, I may want more than 1 extra sitting around for future trades. I think the craze will continue to grow, and people getting on board a year from now will have a difficult time finding some of the coins we are buying now.

C4

No, at this point he is still in town, and I believe he already posted there.

Thanks though,

Any extra coins are your problems/blessings to do as you will. No problem.

So how does this coin club work? I might be interested....if I join, does it preclude me from still ordering additional coins on my own..??

So how does this coin club work? I might be interested....if I join, does it preclude me from still ordering additional coins on my own..??

Nope, I plan on doing the same. The main thing we are doing is trying to make sure we don't miss any opportunities. We haven't really done anything formal. As of now, there are only 3 of us actively working here. (Unless fisnjack is with us for sure.)

Basically, the first one to see a new release is making a purchase of 6 coins for the group. (2 each.) Just to make sure we don't miss any of the fast moving releases. Then we post here the purchases that have been made. Once the coins start arriving, we plan to get together to distribute coins and settle up.

Anyway, to the rest of the group, fOtOmOm, (Jim), is the friend I am ordering for while he is on vacation.

Having more eyes search is always helpful. Besides, we may just have to make our own coin for this club!

I told you guys I'm losing it!

I missed the cutoff for the Ohio geocoins, so I have been trying to trade for one.

I even sent the organizer of the coin release a note, and he told me that he was completely out.

I just got an email saying that my Ohio geocoins had shipped! It had a PayPal receipt attached and everything!

My addiction is bad, I am starting to have blackouts!

C4

August 31, 2005

I think they have medicine now for those blackouts. Unfortunately, a side effect is blackouts!

So how many Ohio coins did you order? I've already set up a private trade for one.
