+KirklandExplorers Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Check out our first edition Swags coin! Swags is the name of our slug who will be appearing on a variety of coins. We minted 100 of them and they are being distributed to the members at this time (they have all been assigned). Watch for them in the trading section if any member wants to get rid of one. Please don't email me as I am hanging onto my two coins Quote Link to comment

YemonYime Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Good job KE, and all the collaborative ideas by our fellow GHOSTers. I'll start the bidding for mine at...a slightly used pair of superhero tights. I won't accept anything less than a cape. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) Um this is an out of focus picture of a wanna go coin. There's currently a charity auction for one linked in the eBay thread that will give you a better look at the coin detail. Edited September 22, 2005 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment
+Allanon Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 What is the meaning of the tipped over wine glass? Just curious. That's a margarita glass! Why is it tipped over. SWAGs just doesn't know how to hold his salt... Quote Link to comment
+KirklandExplorers Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 The design is a collection of ideas that are not meant to be taken too seriously. The name of the group is GHOST after much discussion and a poll or two (Yimey- the pollmaster). We picked a banana slug for our themed mascot who will appear on many (or if not all?) of the coins. We picked a margarita glass for the heck of it and if anyone knows about slugs they know that they will dissolve if any salt is put on them. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 PNGG (and GHOST) is the Group...SWAGS is the slug mascot... Ok, so the group has two names. Thanks for clarifying. I'm still lost, but Mauison's right, I do have one of these coming already. Quote Link to comment

+joefrog Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'll trade a shiny new Joefrog's Famous Geocoin for one -- who wants some!? Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 We did not make the coin for "Bait". We made the coin for us to have, and to have a VERY limited coin. There are several clubs/groups out there now who are also making VERY limited coins. I know because I already have trads set up for their coins. Quote Link to comment
+KirklandExplorers Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 I guess you could say that our coins are trade bait (is that bad?). Most of the members do not have a personal coin and this gives them an option of having something not of the usual category to trade. We debated the quantity to mint and decided on 100 as that gives everyone that wants to trade one and keep one in their collection. What I like the best about Swags is that I thought we would produce a Martha Stewart type coin (flowers, bows etc) but we ended up with a Steve Martin version instead We are working on the second winter version now and will have it ready by Christmas. Seriously, if there are others that want to do the same group coinage, email me and I will give you pointers on how to make the process as smooth as possible. Quote Link to comment
+KC0GRN Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 whoohoo! I'll have an extra of these ones to trade. MIGO fall coin? anyone, anyone, Bueller? comeon, it's 100 coins vs 100 coins... Quote Link to comment
+Nazgul Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 We did not make the coin for "Bait". I guess you could say that our coins are trade bait (is that bad?). It was not intended to be a judgement, it's just how I perceived it when I first heard about the group whne it was forming. Perhaps a more sensitive description would be "the group that was created to make limited coins for themselves?" Is that accurate and non-infammatory? And no, I would not say that it was a "bad thing." The coin looks nice too. That is all. Quote Link to comment

+PassingWind Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I might be willing to trade my extra. I'm new to the geocoin collecting so I don't have many coins in my collection.
