+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) I was searching the coin sites this morning looking for up coming coins and found this one: FGA Coin I am wanting to know if this is Floridas State coin. It also says trackable with it's own icon. Edited February 18, 2006 by Ladycacher Quote
+macdonr Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I was searching the coin sites this morning looking for up coming coins and found this one: FGA Coin I am wanting to know if this is Floridas State coin. It also says trackable with it's own icon. Yes - this is Florida's state coin. The icons (second-generation copies, not as clear as originals): Quote
+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 Awesome! Thanks! I love the gator on the back! Quote
+Big JohnP Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 If it's the State coin, I'll be watching for a few. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Me too, however after spending what I did this morning on a new GPS, coins are going to the back burner for a few weeks. Quote
+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 Ummm...if you got a new GPS over coins you are banned from the Geocoin Forums and are not an addict! You must have gone to a GAA meeting last night and they filled you head full of crap!! Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Ummm...if you got a new GPS over coins you are banned from the Geocoin Forums and are not an addict! You must have gone to a GAA meeting last night and they filled you head full of crap!! Given the conditions of the three GPS I have, I had to do something... Meri-Gold can't see the screen, Meridian Green - no mapping, and battery contacts suck, Etrex something or other takes forever to get lock... Jumped at the chance to get a 60CS (no i don't want the CSx) on a good deal.... Coin addict...no you're right, I'm trying to cut back. I've entered the recovery program. I am Jennifer and I am addicted to Geocoins.... Making steps to curb what I buy. Quote
+The_Proffens Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I've entered the recovery program. I've been told that I need to enter something along those lines too. MAybe I will see you at meetings Coins look cool too. We would be interested Quote

+ChileHead Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Cool ... some of my favorite caches were in Florida. But then again, when I'm in Florida I'm on vacation, so I would have been happy with a lamppost as well! :-) Looking forward to the coin ... hopefully it won't be difficult to get. Anybody know how many are being minted? Quote

+jeffk42 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Gah!! I completed my order and sent the Paypal payment, but then the TCP site said the Paypal payment was not received, and my order is still in my shopping cart. But I got the payment confirmation from Paypal!! WTF?! Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 You know that happened to me once but a minute later I got a confirmation from Paypal that the transaction did go through. Quote
+ZackJones Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I ordered 2. I especially like the gator on the back of the coin. Quote
+jeffk42 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 You know that happened to me once but a minute later I got a confirmation from Paypal that the transaction did go through. It just showed up in my "Previous Orders" list on the site, so it looks like it'll be okay. Weird that there's still a second set in my shopping cart. I emailed them to be sure but it looks like it will be okay. Quote

+bsx and CeruleanCat Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 For those curious as to what the FGA coins look like... regular edition on the left, limited on the right Quote
+Shilo Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Lookin good I'm glad to see the silver are the regular one. I think silver coins show better detail than gold coins do. Just my 2 cents worth Quote
+HerrK & Friends Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 The silver regular edition looks great...specially the 3D alligator! Quote
ParentsofSAM Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 I got mine today, I had forgot that I ordered them! In fact I was reading this thread yesterday and saw the picture and told my husband too bad I did not order that coin the 3D gator looks really cool. Then I open the mail box today and I have 3 of them! HooRay for me a true surprise! Quote
