+HerrK & Friends Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hello Geocacher, hello Geocoiner, It’s been a long time, since I made my decision of producing my own Personal Geocoin, in last december. (the old forum thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...7743&hl=Cologne ) It was intended to be a small edition in my favourite metal Antique Silver and mainly for trading. Three weeks ago, the postman gave me a 22 pound package! And as you can see, I stick to my principles by and large. Now it is a total circulation of 250 pieces, 225 of them in Antique Silver and only for trading. The diameter of the Geocoin is 1,75" and it is not trackable! ($750 USD for 500 Tracking-Codes extra, was too much for me) I will take up 50 of them for me to give it to special people as a present and for putting them in nice caches. Thus, there are 200 left for trading. To give you the possibility of comparing what a Geocoin costs in the future: I had to pay $4,90 USD for 1 Geocoin! Since I really look forward putting the coins in caches as a thanks and trading for other beautiful coins from around the world, the money was worth the fun. I mainly prefer other personal geocoins. If you don’t have a personal one yourself, please take a closer look at my Geocoin List for whats missing and what I am looking for: http://cointracking.com/public/HerrK If you don’t find something matching, there’s no harm if you tell me that you plan either a personal geocoin in the near future or ordering any other Geocoins. Last week I offered our geocoin to all my previous trade partners and in the local forum, so currently there are 70 of our geocoins traded yet! Now it's your turn.... These days I am really stressed by a big Turnaround at my work (12 hours/day), therefore I have to wait those week until the Turnaround is done and I can sent all the geocoins. (all the packaging material and stamps are ready for action) In the following picture you can see the steps of my geocoin design: http://www.herrks-base.de/geocaching/Colog...ogne_5steps.jpg And here you can see all the different metals of our geocoin: http://www.herrks-base.de/geocaching/Colog...lFinalCoins.jpg I thought that if I have to pay everything by myself, I wanted to try everything as well. That’s one reason why I have experimented with so much different metals. The Geocoins with a limited edition are intended for other rare geocoins. Apart from that, everything is about the Antique Silver Geocoins (Hard Enamel while stocks last) I am going to sell also two geocoins at eBay (1x Regular/1x LE) just for fun as well. Important: I limit my coin to only 1 per person! Please do only answer to this eMail adress: cologne_geocoin@gmx.de with this subject line „Trade: Coin XY <-> HerrK Cologne“ for a better overview. Just add your geonick, your complete shipping address, if possible a picture of your geocoin and if existing, the link to your Geocoin List to the eMail. If you have any questions about our geocoin, feel free to ask me. I am really looking forward to an answer and a trade…………… PS: If we arranged a trade otherwise, don’t pay attention to that eMail! Best regards, Andreas (HerrK) Quote Link to comment

+HerrK & Friends Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Thank you so much for all the positive feedback! I will answer all eMails tonight......... Quote Link to comment
+HerrK & Friends Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 +++++ UPDATE +++++ Please don't worry about getting no eMails from me. Since yesterday I have no internet connection because of a broken DSL modem, (right now I'm at a friend's house) so I can't answer all the eMails! There is no chance to get a new modem before Tuesday. But from Tuesday on I will ship all coins to the people I made a finished trade with so far. Quote Link to comment
