+KSWader Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 The prototype above is of the coin that is currently in production. The estimated delivery date is the first week of April 2006, so the coins should be shipped by the end of that week. 600 coins are being minted in brass with both sides in full relief. The coin is trackable on geocaching.com with a custom icon. The tracking numbers will be laser engraved. The front of the coin features a John Deere combine harvesting a Kansas field. The coin is produced to celebrate the 1st geocache in Sheridan Co., Kansas which is named Green and Yellow Cache. The coordinates of the cache's location is listed on the coin. The reverse features an adapted scene from an illustration from the original Wizard of Oz book. This time, Dorothy is seen holding an ammo box and gps. The yellow bands around the coin represent the yellow brick road and says "Dorothy, You made me hike 3 miles and all we got was a broken McToy", sighed Scarecrow. Each coin is $10.00 including shipping. The coin can be ordered at CoinTracking Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Who minted these? The photo looks like the geocoin store. Quote
+KSWader Posted March 18, 2006 Author Posted March 18, 2006 Who minted these? The photo looks like the geocoin store. Rusty from personal gecoins is the person I went through to have them made. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Who minted these? The photo looks like the geocoin store. Rusty from personal gecoins is the person I went through to have them made. Out of curiosity which "gold" is that? I also used Rusty and will be using Misty Gold for the most part I think... Quote
+lissie Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Aha, another KSWader cache that I got to do while on the Kansas/Mingo with Contryguy and Still Searching. Except the cache title used the & symbol instead of the word "and". I will have to decide whether to join another site though to buy a coin. I have tried to avoid that. Quote
+ajayhawkfan Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I have found that cache while doing the KS Challenge. Quote
slumbersix Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Why are they 10.00? Because that's the price he set and people are willing to pay it. Quote
+9Key Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Why are they 10.00? Since it includes postage its not too bad. Much better than the coins from geocoinstore.com and that recent "cop" coin. $2 cheaper in fact. Quote

+BVnLJ Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I brought this coin recently but have no idea where I can get the activation code from. Can any one help me so I can activate this coin. Thanks in advance. I found a coin named Sheridan in geocoin club activation code list. Maybe that's it Quote
+The Klever Boys Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Yep. www.geocoinclub.com/code.php HTH. Russ Quote
