Geocoins relating to U.K. and Ireland.

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

Would depend what the design was - I took part in a poker chip coin group a couple of years back and it was fun choosing my own colours etc. Lots of very reasonably priced coins too!

[+The Blorenges]

UK geocachers who like the idea of having a trackable geocoin with their name on it, and in their choice of colours, may be interested in the GeoJellies4 project which has been started over on the Geocoin Discussion forum. Minimum order is for 22 Geojelly beans at US$6 each plus postal charges.

Was wondering if there would be any interest in a UK version of something similar? Any suggestions as to what?

 

Jelly babies? Gob-stoppers?

Just to let folks know that the South Wales Miner's Protector Lamp is now available for sale and that the golfer's coins are now also available for pre-sale (and should be ready for shipping within the next week).

 

They're currently being sold on my personal shopping cart pending the completion of the new South Wales Geocachers cart.

 

Note that the tracking number (where the word SAMPLE has been etched) is actually slightly curved inline with the rounded design of the coin.

 

Lamp - lit

 

Lamp - dark

 

Golfer's Coin - Satin Nickel

 

Golfer's Coin - Antique Silver

Sort of a preadvancewarning! The Third Cornish Coin has finally got underway. This one will be featuring Isambard Kingdom Brunels Railway Bridge at Saltash, and Isambard himself on the reverse. No doubt we'll slip a chough in the design somewhere!

 

I'll upload pictures etc as soon as I have some.

 

Furter details may be found on the Cornish Forum at kacher.co.uk

Picked up this geocoin last year, and shamefully kept it until yesterday.

 

However, in that time, I managed to get it to one of its goals - being photographed by the statue of liberty (linked as it's a big pic):

It's back in the wild now.

My new UK geocoin is being released on September 10th. Was on the UK part of the forums but has been moved to Geocoin topics. You can see pics there.

[+drdick&vick]

The new GAGB coin has now been shipped and delivery is expected to be in around 3 -4 weeks.

 

They will sell at £6.75* + p&p each (of which 20% will go to the GAGB funds) *price based on cost but may vary dependant on any tax I have to pay in this country, hopefully not.

I am now taking orders (with 50% deposit) contact me through my profile for payment details

[+Skyblueleisure]

Just to let everybody know our Cornish St Piran Geocoin will be available in about 10 days, part of the the sale of each coin going to the St Piran Trust here in Cornwall.

 

[+drdick&vick]

The first ever GAGB Geocoin is selling very well and with Crimbo looming I expect them to be popular so would suggest that if you want to get one for your collection, order now.

I have a couple of United Kingdom geocoins available for sale. Email me if you are interested and I'll point you in the right direction.

 

Issued in 2005, they were one of the first (if not THE first) UK Geocoins. These are both unactivated, but one can not be activated as it is a misprint with a 7 digit trackable code. Collectable, or junk? You decide!

 

The other one is unused/unactivated and ready to go!

 

[+drdick&vick]

GAGB coin, 5 weeks of selling and already 50% gone, if you want one grab it before they sell out

[Gamma Ray]

Guys you may remember a while back i had my idea for a Somerset Geocoin and a fair few of you had an input into how it looked and what went on it. Now it has finally been made and is available for presale.

 

I think they have come out really nice, so a big thank you to all who chucked in ideas, coments and critisism!

 

The coin comes in Antique Silver and Antique Bronze.

Will you be having any for sale from the UK, as I don't much like the pre-sale rigmarole and the handling fee on the dealers website?

 

Would like take one of each if you are.

 

Thanks, H.

Nice coin btw!

Seems they have distributors in the UK - scroll down tothe bottom of the page.

[+The Klever Boys]

As Bear and Ragged mentions, it is indeed possible to get them from over here in the UK, but I have found that you usually end up paying more for some reason.

I have ordered the Somerset coin, along with two Compass Rose 2010 coins directly from Coins & Pins at a total cost of just over $38, including handling, shipping, etc. That works out at around £24-25 for the three.

 

I bet you will struggle to get any of these in the UK for less than £9.99, and I suspect the Compass Roses will be even more. This also doesn't take into account any postage that might apply.

I buy a lot of coins, and would love to get them from over here, but get put off having to pay more, get them slower and a number of coins sell out and if you don't pre-order them, you won't ever get one!

Announcing what we think is a unique Geocoin coming under the umbrella of Mega Wales 2011 fundraising - and although our two previous Geocoins (Miner's lamp and Golfing coin) were also fund raisers for the Mega, this is the first of our coins to actually bear the wording Mega Wales 2011.

 

What's unique about them? Well, they're not made from metal - they're going to be hand crafted Welsh slate discs that have been laser etched with the coin's design. 100% made in Wales, down to the rock they're made on.

 

 

We're looking at two different designs for the second side - the first can be seen above and the second below.

 

 

There's a fuller description and another image on the main coin forum.

 

We were initially thinking of making 50 due to the high cost (ball park figure of £12.50) but we're over half way to that number in definite expressions of interest already. These could well be available for sale within a couple of weeks as they're going to be manufactured byIdentilase Ltd, which is quite local to where I live.

There never were that many UK geocoin designers/producers. You'll find examples of their coins within this thread.

 

I think there's been quite a slump in the geocoin production over the last year or so, not just in UK but also with US geocoins too. There are not nearly so many new geocoins appearing over on the Geocoin Discussion forum as there were 3 or 4 years ago. IMHO

I should check again, but the Dollar/Pound rate wasn't proving helpful last time I looked and coins were amazingly more expensive than in 2007/2008 when I last produced a Cornish Coin. Coins we sold for £4.50 back then would have to sell at double that now...

I have never looked at this thread on the forum before so a couple of questions if no one minds

 

I have at least 50 geocoins I could sell, including the UKs First Mega event Gold, Silver and the LE Black I have two of each of these some registered some not, which leads me to my first question.

 

Do people buy geocoins that have already been registered by their previous owners? I can't see why not I would as it is very easy to change the ownership of the coin once it is in your posession..

 

Do coins that have already been registered to a previous owner sell for a little less?

 

Do geocoins still sell at all or are they a passing fad?

 

I have seen a few coins on this thread that I have, all sitting in a file in a drawer gathering dust

 

I have been after a Border Collie coin for quite some time now, (I know Jacaru had a batch made and I think there was a batch before those? if anyone has one for sale please let me know.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Mandy as with anything collectable the value is down to whoever is looking for the item really so generally the price is driven by the collector/buyer. I have really slowed down on my collecting due to the rediculous prices people in Europe want to charge, also I am more selective on the design of the coin. There is a european supplier who is just starting a coin series on working dogs I am sure there is a collie in that series also if you are interested pm me. As for activated coins there is no problem with ownership transferring and the value of the coin will depend on the coin itself, some people just won't buy a coin that has been activated. Hope this helps!

Hi

 

Here is our first ever attempt at a Geocoin, the coin is by Oakcoins and these are the colours we chose for the Dartmoor (Devon) Coin. The coin has a black nickel surround to show off the white and is a full size (2 inch) coin. Price of the coin is £7.00 each for anyone attending the event, if not attending the 12 12 12 Dartmoor event you are still welcome to order a coin, postage will be an extra £1

 

I think we are down to around 20 coins left, if you would like one please let us know soonish either through our geocaching profile, on the Dartmoor 12 12 12 event page if local or by e-mail viv1@keith1964.freeserve.co.uk Once they are sold that's it, we only had a limited number made...............
