+moscow32 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Quick question for the experts around here. I was just looking through my coins, and came up with my Unnecessary Bushwhacking coin. Funny thing is, its not antique silver, like the coin in the Geocoin Club Member store is. I didn't notice before, but it looks like an antique bronze. What gives? Did I somehow get a limited edition? Does the Geocoin club send out limited editions occasionally? moscow32 Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) That is the artist edition .... was supposed to be limited to the artist only. ~J Edited October 23, 2007 by CinemaBoxers Link to comment

CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Most likely just packaged incorrectly. Congrats on your find... They shouldn't have had ANY on the shelves at all - ALL AEs are supposed to go to the Artist. ~J Link to comment

+Mauison Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The antique bronze might be the regular version, as that's what's listed on geocoincollection and also being sold on ebay. So is the antique silver version being sold in the Geocoinclub store the limited/artist edition? Link to comment
+sparkeeeee Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) I've never seen an "Unnecessary Bushwhacking" coin that wasn't bronze. You got the regular coin. Edited October 23, 2007 by sparkeeeee Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Well.. who knows now.... I'm really surprised to hear there are more out there than I have in hand. Edited October 23, 2007 by CinemaBoxers Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 My boyfriend has one. It is antique bronze. Haven't seen it in the antique silver. Link to comment
+Damenace Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm really surprised to hear there are more out there than I have in hand. Well being that you where the artist, I can understand your reaction. This is strike two, will there be a third??? Link to comment
+moscow32 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 All I know is that the coin listed here is antique silver. the coin that I have in my hand is antique bronze. (I still think it looks more bronze than copper). Link to comment

I'm really surprised to hear there are more out there than I have in hand. mine is ant. bronze edited to block tracking number here is quick pic thought that was reg monthly coin didn't know of any other metal Edited October 23, 2007 by Frozen Buns Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Silver was supposed to be the regular. I was supposed to get several AE's in Copper and Gold. Thats all I know about it at this point. Link to comment
+ArtieD Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) What I want to know is...where does the GCC get off keeping AE coins...AE coins, by their very nature are to go to the artist. Totally...all of them. Methinks there is something foul afoot. They got caught this time, in my opinion. How long has this possibly been going on? I would say more...and I want to...but they are not worth getting a time out over. :) Edited October 23, 2007 by Arthur & Trillian Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm not going to jump the gun - Im a little upset in not KNOWING what happened, but they have been good to me in the past. Im sure there is an answer - and I'll likely hear about it soon. Link to comment

Im sure there is an answer - and I'll likely hear about it soon. There is no doubt you will have answers, however you were under the impression you were to receive certain metals for your AE's. So how can any answer they give you be the right answer? I smell a LARGE rat!!! Link to comment

CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 This was the version I knew to be the regular edition... UB Coin Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) They simply used the wrong photo in the store site. They did it with my personal as well. You see antique gold, but you get antique silver. Relax. We all got the bronze version. No need to spaz out. Edited October 23, 2007 by AtlantaGal Link to comment
+Map Monkey Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 They simply used the wrong photo in the store site. Don't forget that they used the wrong description as well. Seems like they probably loaded the wrong geocoin from their database. D'oh, for a minute there i thought i had some AE geocoins running around various caches. Though it doesn't add up that CB only received a RE version. mm Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Yeah, but I based my sales on the version that was online. I had Antique Silver, and thought the AS was the reg. based on the site. So, traded them off, or sold them as Reg. And.. Im still a bit perplexed on the copper version being out there. So.. Im a little perplexed on this one. Now, I realize I SHOULD have been selling/trading those golds. Either way.. for me, this sucks. I just wish I had known which version was which... the store showed the AS, and said AS. So, I thought my AS were the regular edition. Bummer. Edited October 23, 2007 by CinemaBoxers Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Okay, well I didn't bother to read the listing. I just know that it's quite common for the wrong photo to be posted with some of the coins being sold. I would suggest CB email Mike to discuss it rather than everyone making assumptions here. I know I had emailed about the incorrect photo for mine, but was told that was the only usable photo they had at the time. So I just left it alone. Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I agree, best to go to the source than to make assumptions...I'll drag out my pitchfork and rope when I KNOW there's a problem!! Sorry to see you're having a problem with this CB, I hope you saved at least a FEW of those AEs! Maybe if you explain the situation, some would be happy to exchange the coins? I know I would, but.... Good luck!! Link to comment
+moscow32 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well, I guess I've had my question answered. Nothing special about my coin. Please close this thread. I never intended it to get ugly. Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yep. Case Closed. Was an unfortunate misunderstanding between several people.... Link to comment

I agree, best to go to the source than to make assumptions...I'll drag out my pitchfork and rope when I KNOW there's a problem!! Was an unfortunate misunderstanding between several people.... Always good advice to go to the source before making assumptions and linking activities to things in the past. Please make sure to reach out to the source before starting in with accusations or speculation. Glad to see that it was a simple misunderstanding, although it would be nice to see people give others the benefit of the doubt before jumping in with both feet. This thread started yesterday in the afternoon and the store in question likely never had a chance to respond into the night before things started to go downward. If there is a legitmate gripe about the way something is being handled, it's fair to bring it here - just not before all parties have been contacted and the facts are known. Thanks to those who chimed in with cool and calm responses. Case closed. Link to comment
