What Was In Your Mailbox Today!

I was lucky enough to purchase my #1 most wanted geocoin last week. It is a coin I never thought I would be able to get, but today... it was in my mailbox. This is probably the most excited Ive been about getting a coin.

Thanks... Yes I have been after it for a while. I kind of got it in a strange way, a month ago someone had posted a ton of cons for sale with a "silent offer" method. Well after a month has gone bye, a got an email last week saying that if I wanted the coin I could buy it for my original offer. I was shocked to get that email.

 

Now the road gets even tougher though... To complete the 3 coin set & see if I can get the LE Gold & the XLE Copper.. :rolleyes:

Saint, how do you find out about all the versions? I'm always impressed with all the LE's and AE's you list.

I dont know what most people do, but since I dont know a ton of coins... when I find a coin I like, I go to geocoincollection or cointracking and do a search on the coin. Gives me an idea of what versions & metals are out there. As for the AE coins I have, well I got those directly from the artist.. Avroair. Im a big fan of most of his coin designs...

I received a trade today in an ordinary white envelope. It was so light that I knew something was wrong. As I took a second look at the envelope I noticed that it has been neatly cut on the edge and as you can figure out, there was nothing in the envelope :lol:

Use bubble mailers, it's much safer :sad:

Ohh, that is SO sad! What was supposed to be in there?

That is sad. I had one like that but the coin was actually loose in the mailbox and just laying there all by itself....

You might want to keep a close eye on your mailbox then. :sad:

I sent out my personal coins in a plain white envelope and this happened to several people. Fortunately for me, the coin was still there and no coins were lost. I had no idea this would happen. Needless to say, I learned my lesson!

I received a beautiful Spring Fling coin from Shop99er on Saturday. What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! I had no idea there was a Spring Fling coin, let alone that I would be receiving one.

 

I don't know why I am always amazed by the kindness and generosity of our geocoin community. Our geocoin community is simply the best!

It was a Puffin' My Way to the Next Cache coin. I contacted the person I traded with just to let him know what had happened and he is kind enough to send me an other one :) He's great :lol:

I use plain white envelopes but tape the dickens out of it - after I tape the coin inside. As far as I know, The ones I've sent a coin or two to, has gotten them. ( the tape sort of makes it like one of those white plastic envelopes :D

Yesterday, Y.A.S.S.! found my mailbox with a lovely coin and letter (See the YASS thread for further explanation if you are unaware of the campaign by this anonymous gifter). Here is the coin that I received. It is a sun-catcher, and the pictures don't really do it justice.

I'm sorry, I don't have pictures. Over the last week or so I received:

 

Wooden Nickels from Boots - my first wooden nickels!

Purchases of 3 Wildflowers coins, one to keep, one to cache, and one to mission!

Purchase of a Look Twice coin, which has already been put in the wild for the Todie's Wild Ride thread.

Some signature tokens from Snigit.

 

All of these mailing activities make me run home to see what might have arrived each day!

 

TFTCoins!

I was very fortunate, and pleased to end up with a lot of trades, some raffle coins, and 4 purchases at the ASP Geobash yesterday, but since this is a "What's In Your Mailbox Today" posting, I made sure to take all the coins out to my mailbox, leave them in there for 5 minutes, bring them back in, and there you go, they were in my mailbox today!

My favorite is the wooden nickel, made by Princess Trekker...I had given her one of my sig items earlier yesterday, and she made me her own sig item at a class taught at the geobash...sorry, it's not for sale or trade...you made my day Princess!

Dr. Neal,

What is the coin second picture set Fairy with the skulls?

My Daughter, Queenie-Boo-Bay, just drug me upstairs, literally yelling “You have to see this coin!!”

 

I have not seen her so adamant about a Geocoin since the Highland GeoFairy.

Can you let me know where I might try to trade or purchase one of these?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

P.S. If the Princess Trekker wooden nickel is the 2nd from the left on the bottom, I can see why it is your favorite.

Not to mention the value of that nickel that is a 1 of 1, and that kind of Heart deserves to be treasured.

It's a new coin from SoCalGeocoins...I checked their website, and they don't list it yet, and tried to activate it to get a name, but wasn't able to find which coin it was on coincodes. At least got you pictures, front and back...try contacting SoCalGeocoins.

The Fairy with the skulls is a great coin but the Butterfly coin next to that one is even better (IMHO). What is THAT coin??? Will it be available at GW7?? (I sure hope so... :) )

 

CF30

 

 

I'll definately be looking for both of them... the butterfly looks awesome with the grateful dead bears on it....
