+altosaxplayer Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I was hoping to get one of the GAS coins. I am not a club member, and I assumed that it was supposed to be a "free-for-all" after 9:30, but it dissapeared. All I ever saw was the locked buying. Hope it comes back, I hope to get one!

I have gotten an offer for a trade, etc. It will be okay if I don't get any. I thought they were cool though. I cant believe they only sold for a short amount of time.

+wavector Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 The two sales of the GAS Geocoin have concluded and the coin did very well, thank you all very much. As everyone may know this coin was made in a hopefully transparent process, I have not kept any secrets about the production or the intent. A total of 625 identical coins were made. I would like to assure everyone that I have not engineered any special "surprise" versions of the coin nor will I be offering this coin in trade, as a steward of the process I feel have discharged that trust faithfully. The results of the sale are still not in so I am not sure if there has been an excess of funds produced but the intent of the sale is realized and GAS now has 125 GAS geocoins that will be given away unactivated in geocaches in Alberta South, again, thanks to all of you. I would like to thank all the buyers of the GAS geocoin and let cachers in Lethbridge, Drumheller and of course Medicine Hat know that the GAS geocoin is coming to a cache near you soon, so find a new geocacher, sign them up at geocaching.com and take them out caching, they will enjoy it and you might find a geocoin!!! I would like to thank the local geocachers and the Calgary Area Cachers who purchased this coin, I appreciate the support and I know that the coin was available during the full period of both presales, many Calgary cachers sent emails asking for the password. In recognition of the sale completion I placed a laminated token in a cache in Medicine Hat today, that laminated token can be redeemed for the first geocoin to be given away. The public sales lasted 34 seconds and 2:30 minutes respectively though the coin did drop a few more times and might do so again if orders are cancelled or payment is not made. Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Holy smoke wavector you are long winded! Quick question: Are the Geocoins already made and shipping? Quote Link to comment
+wavector Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Holy smoke wavector you are long winded! Quick question: Are the Geocoins already made and shipping? The store has indicated that the coins usually ship a few weeks after the sale. I think the store will keep the shipping info up to date on the front page. Yes, I am long winded, I like words. I leave a lot of them in logbooks also. Quote Link to comment
+wolfmaster Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for seeing the coin through and giving a unique perspective to Medicine Hat. I'm sure with the introduction of the coin in the area, more cachers will get out and hopefully introduce even more cachers to the sport. Kudos. Quote Link to comment

+junglehair Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I really wanted to get one of these coins, but have not had the time to keep up with all the coin sales lately. Anyone have an extra they'd be willing to trade? Quote Link to comment
+wavector Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 The GAS Geocoin was intended to promote geocaching. Some of these coins will be given away specifically but the majority of the GAS Geocoins will be given away generally, in caches. The first GAS Geocoin was given away in a cache today, well not the first metal coin, they have not shipped yet. Athene and Falco found the laminated token that represented a free GAS geocoin in Birds, AB - Rock Dove. Congratulations to Athene and Falco. I realize that the geocoin forum is not the right place to post updates on the GAS Geocoin promotion. A geocacher in Lethbridge, Alberta whom I have never met has offered the GAS Project forum space, it was a pleasant and timely offer, thanks GarAr. I have created a new thread in the Lethbridge Forum for posting updates on the GAS Geocoin giveaways. The forum is located at this web address http://geocache.drhd.com/viewtopic.php?t=3...eba31729d5c7d79 Feel free to register and make comments on any of the discussions you might see on the Forums or just drop in and check The GAS Geocoin thread to see how the giveaways are proceeeding. Thanks again for the support that geocoin enthusiasts worldwide have shown for this coin. The GAS Website is also online and you can see where the orange dinosaur came from. Quote Link to comment
