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 :(

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. :(

Okay, what member wants to part with one of these for a Wanna Go coin?  Email me.

You've got one coming from me already. :(

I thought I had the PNGG coin coming from you. I'm so confused, lol. Email me

PNGG (and GHOST) is the Group...SWAGS is the slug mascot... :(

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.

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... :(

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.

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.

Is this the group that was formed with the intention of producing limited coins for its members as trade bait, etc.?

I believe so and the bait is happily taken, lol.

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.

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.

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. :(

I am taking the coins to the post office on Friday to mail!  Good luck to everyone on what numbered coins they get!

You should give the coins out starting w/05A-001 alphabetically by last name. :rolleyes:

I was thinking the closest address to lat/longitude of the KirklandExplorers Treasure chest...

 

Ed and I just packaged up the coins and mixed them all up. He grabbed 4 packs and headed out the door.

 

I picked my package and got... 38 and 57!!

I will have an extra to trade, but I can't set one up until after I get home on the 26th.

 

My list can be reached from my profile page. It is somewhat out of date, due to this long vacation. It will be updated as soon as possible.

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. I would probably be interested in one or a combination of the following GC.com unactivated coins for a possible trade?

 

German Geocoin

Colorado Geocoin

Michigan Geocoin

GeoBash Geocoin

Geowoodstock III

Ohio Geocoin

Personal Coin?

got mine today, whoohoo! Number 42!!! The answer to life, the universe, and everything.

 

also number 89, most likely that'll be the trader one. Unless someone wants to offer me something REALLY good for 42.
