+studlyone Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) I still have some Best of British geocoins available but they are shifting fast. They have a custom icon and are trackable on geocaching.com acting as a type of travel bug (if you don't keep them for your collection). Here is the icon: I currently have coins left in three of the metal finishes - Antique Gold (150 made), Antique Silver (150 made) and Antique Copper (only 100 made). They retail at £5 for the gold and silver and £5.50 for the copper. Each order will come with a free 3/4" pin badge of the same design as the coin. You can find out about the coin and how to reserve your own ones here: http://www.speakmanclan.co.uk/geocoin/bulldogcoin.php The coins are in transit from Hong Kong to me and shoul be here next week All the best, Ian Edited September 1, 2006 by studlyone Quote Link to comment

The Washers UK Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I received my coins on Saturday and they are fantastic thanks again Ian & co for making us a British coin. Quote Link to comment
+Malpas Wanderer Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Oh Dear!Not my cup'o'tea at all.Maybe the Yanks will go for them.Rather tacky me thinks.Good luck though. You may think so by just looking at some pictures, but I have mine in front of me right now. It looks extremely good and the finish is excellent. Surely it's for the finders to decide, if placed out in the wild as we hope they all will be, you are likely only to view briefly anyway. Mine arrived this morning and quite happy with looks and finish and the service from notification to delivery was excellent. Will be interesting to see if the scoffers log any finds.

Oh Dear!Not my cup'o'tea at all.Maybe the Yanks will go for them.Rather tacky me thinks.Good luck though. Thanks I was rather harsh with my initial criticism..as it is ALWAYS a matter of one's personal tastes. And as this is a forum,we all share our views.whether they be right or wrong.Especially after a glass of wine. Anyway,as I said before Good Luck. Quote Link to comment
