+fairyhoney Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 "September 30, 2001 The first trackable geocoin released was the Moun10Bike Version 1 Geocoin #002.[1] The Moun10Bike Version 1 Geocoins are the most sought after geocoins in existence. They are all displayed on geocaching.com as owned by Moun10Bike however the coin may still be listed for sale in defiance of this on eBay fetching prices in the thousands of USD. When he finds a sale of this coin on eBay he will have the coin locked so it is no longer trackable" Doesn't it mean Thanks For The Cache And Signed Log Took Nothing Left Nothing.
