I'm new to this but i think I would like to start getting oregon coins, how many are there and where can I find them? You sure it wasn't Pink? I happen to own both a Green (standard issue) and a Pink (geolite69 edition)...have not heard anything about Purple. Gonna have to check with those guys down in Salem. Link to comment
glennk721 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi this auction is for a purplish pink colored geocoin. It says Oregon S.A.G.A From the auction, probably pink .. Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 It is a pink one. I do not have a pink one, I like it I may just bid on it. I do not know any history about it. Link to comment
+chamois-shimi & special K Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) As Jaybee mentions, the pink SAGA coin was created as a continuation of a running joke in Salem to gently rib geolite69. nmartin knows more about this than I do. All of these coins (10 of them?) are numbered 069 in his honor. The standard green SAGA coins are numbered sequentially. To return to the OP's comments about Oregon coins, there were yearly issues of the Oregon coin in 2003 and 2004 (that I know of) as well as a handful of local area coins. The Portland folks have a 2005 and a 2006 coin of which I am aware, the Eugene-area cachers put out an Emerald Valley Cachers coin in three metals at the end of 2005, and the SAGA folks of Salem put out their coin last year. There are also several cachers in the state who have personal coins - I've seen Go Jaybee's, Go-Mad-Cow, Jayel57, Arlsdaddy, nmartin (two varieties), Night_Hawk (many varieties), and pdxmarathonman that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not familiar with other Oregon coins from outside of the Willamette Valley area. I also noticed that you were a fairly new Salem cacher. Welcome to the hobby!
