+Forty-n-Eight Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I once ran into a terrifically cool geocoin from Illinois that looked like a penny. I thought it would be fun to make a personal geocoin that looked like a quarter to commemorate my time spent caching in beautiful Washington State, so I did. It is currently being minted (by Oak Coins) and should be here some time in September. Here’s a pic: Coin Details There will be 500 minted (450 antique silver, 50 antique gold). They will be 1-5/8" x 3.5mm, 3D front, 2D 6-color back and trackable on geocaching.com with a custom icon. Sale Details I am making 300 available at $8 each plus some extra for shipping/packaging. The first 200 sold will come as coin and pin sets. The first 30 orders of 5 or more coins will receive a gold coin as one of the coins. You may order up to 10 coins per mailing address. Payment will be via PayPal once they arrive. If you are interested, feel free to email me at mrjprubin at yahoo.com to get on the notify list. Once they arrive, you’ll receive an email with ordering instructions. I hope you like them as much as I do. Happy caching! Josh Forty-n-Eight Quote Link to comment

+Forty-n-Eight Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks to everyone who emailed to get on the notify list. I checked with the mint today and they expect the coins to arrive between 9/19 and 9/26. I will send payment instructions about a week before they arrive. The response was great and most of the coins are spoken for. Feel free to write to get on the list for the rest of them. Thanks! Josh Forty-n-Eight Quote Link to comment
+Forty-n-Eight Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 UPDATE: The coins have shipped and I should have them in my hands shortly. For those on the notify list, you'll receive an email in the next few days with details on how to order. There are still some available, so if you'd like to get on the notify list, email me at mrjprubin at yahoo.com. Thanks! Josh Quote Link to comment
