1) Are not just round - I love the odd shapes

 

2) That have a direct link to this hobby/obsession of mine

 

3) That are Shiny

 

4) That glow in the dark

 

5) That aren't too expensive

5)FREE!! (Very rare! Still looking? )

That are round. I don't like the odd shaped ones, unless the shape is cool, or doubles as a throwing star, or is mostly round.

 

That actually represent the cacher or the state.

 

That are simple and elegant. Like Scotland.

[+AtlantaGal]

That are delivered in 4 weeks or less!

 

Are round (roundish).

 

Personals that are traded and not sold.

 

Priced at $7 or less.

 

Are thick, flawless and are NOT chinsy looking/feeling.

[+nfa]

• personal coins that speak to me about the cacher's love of geocaching
  
• state/country coins for areas in which I have gone, or will soon go, caching
  
• geocoins that are very geo-associated
  
• a couple that just grab me as really cool (ok...I'm not a monument to rationality)
  

The best geocoins are pretty simple, more heart than flash...

 

I don't know art (or geocoins), but I know what I like...

Without epoxy

 

That appeal to me, no matter if commercial, personal, etc.

Any shape, but not too HUGE

I like GeoCoins that:

 

Are unusual in shape...

Are personalized

 

I can't have because we ran out of our personal coins and don't have anymore of that green stuff to mint more.

 

Might just show up in my mail box as a surprize because the owner/cacher is a nice person

 

 

Happy Caching

Are beautiful and arty (I know it when I see it) and have substance and good hand-feel.

 

Are well executed to the meaning it holds.

 

Have no epoxy.

 

Has detail that contributes to the effect of the coin - not just busy looking.

 

Are affordable.

 

Are associated with cachers I know, or events or places I've been.

[+zygote2k]

I like geocoins that are relevant to the hobby/sport and are not just a get rich quick scheme to sell as many as possible to fuel the hunger for another geocoin.

[Rupert2]

I like coins that

 

Are personal

 

That are NOT OFFERED FOR SALE

 

That you must interact with the owner or find in a cache to get

 

That do not rely on overly fancy shapes or designs to be way cool.

 

That are relivent to geocaching

 

That are made out of metal, wood, plastic, clay, etc...

[+Snowwolf75]

My preferences are:

odd-shapped

relating (even vaguely) to one of my hobbies

Oh well, I quess I like Geocoins that are geocoins. Maybe just maybe someday I will have the original Geocoin version I II III IV V VI VIII IX X if they ever go up that high

 

And thats all I have to say about that.

[+Team PEZ]

i like the ones i can afford!!!

[+501_Gang]

- Are personal coins

- Are related to the cacher

- Unique with an interesting design or shape

- Are affordable (6.00 range)

- Are shipped when they are said to be shipping

 

Tracking and Icon is not a requirement for me. Trackables and Icons are very overrated anymore. Besides, all it does is add to the cost of the coin. Why not spend the extra money on creating a really good looking coin and forget all the fluff.

[+robert]

Yes.

[+Team JSAM]

That.....

 

1. Are personal from REAL geocahcers.

2. That are not trackable on GC.com

3. That have a unique icon on GC.com

4. That are 3D.

5. That do not have color.

2. That are not trackable on GC.com

That's like building a pocket query for caches that:

• I have found.
  
• I have not found.
