My face-2-face is trade in-person only.

My Geocoin (I've finally gotten the proof, approved it and now I'm waiting for my coins to arrive) will not be sold by me. They are for trading and placing in caches only. The exception will be possible sales for charity.

Our Cog&Gil personal AZ geocoin has only been traded, given away or placed in caches. Never say never, but we plan on keeping it that way.

I made 200 numbered for selling and 50 trackable for trading only. I have 1 left that I am saving for someone and the one I kept for myself, never sold any. I didn't want to sell any of my numbered either but I had to do something to fund them.

 

I think it's a fine idea to offer different versions. Serious collectors can get one of each type and trade for the more valuable LE versions. People that just like the design can buy one of the more common ones.

 

I did the trackable thing because creating a limited series using different metals seemed like the cheap way out to me. It doesn't cost anything extra to make a small number of coins in an alternate metal. Making a coin trackable on the other hand costs almost $2 more a coin.

It seems fewer and fewer people are making their coins for trade only. I'm working on my 2006 edition and once again it will be for trade or caches only.

Thanks for the heads up. Keep me in mind for a trade :o

Way to go Graylling! I appreciate the making of a coin that is trade or cache placement only.

 

I too appreciate personal coins for trade only. It's hard to believe that when I came out with my geocoin in April 2005, all personal coins were trade only. That's not even a year ago.

AG - I haven't forgotten our conversation from many moons ago so you are already on my list of people to contact when they arrive. :rolleyes:

That's me and my two kids pictured there. It will be antique gold with an initial run of 100 coins. I may have 100 more made later in the year if I run out. Produced by Oakcoins.

My nscaler gold and black nickel (see avatar) TFTC geocoins are trade fodder (and very nice "fodder trades" I've made, may I add) and placing in caches. Put two in Florida myself a week and a half ago.

A personal coin is the only way to get some coins.

My personal (NFA) coins in the limited edition metals (25, gold, 25 silver, 100 black nickel) are for trades, friends, and caches only).

I'm still waiting for the one I bought. You have a ship date yet?

My coins are not for sale. I had 400 silver and 100 gold made. They are trackable and had their own icon. I made them to be placed in caches and given to friends. When I had them minted I had no intention of trading because I am not a collector. However, I did come across 12 coins that interested me and have traded for them. Now that I have those coins my trading days may be over (until some other coin catches my eye).
