Theotokos Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) I follow some of the Mystery coin threads since they are so fun to read and I enjoy hearing about all the wonderful coins and the stories that go with the find. It's so refreshing to hear about such good deeds and wonderful people giving without the need for personal recognition. I got me to thinking though - just how many Mystery coins are out there? So I did some searching and came up with a list of Mystery coins/gifters. Are there a lot more than what I have listed here? Also, I didn't know if the Crappy Cache and the Christmas Gnome were considered Mystery coins or not? Let me know what coins or "gifters" I'm missing from this list.

+Droo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Don't forget the Banned from the Forums Binary Mystery Coin and the Crappy Cache Coin.... and wasn't The Mouth of the South considered a mystery coin? Quote Link to comment

+MustangJoni Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Did the Crappy Cache and Holiday Gnome come in stockings that you purchased? I wouldn't consider that a mystery coin. Quote Link to comment
+intolerable Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The Shadow should be there too! I'd never heard of this one, but its a really nice looking coin and had a nice goal. Glad this one was mentioned! Quote Link to comment
+BRoKeN W Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Did the Crappy Cache and Holiday Gnome come in stockings that you purchased? I wouldn't consider that a mystery coin. Yes. But only the gold version of the Crappy Cache came with the stockings, the other version (silver I think) was found in caches I believe. Quote Link to comment

I have the silver one, and had considered it a mystery coin at the time. And I love it, but just don't think it is too mysterious! But it is a great coin! Quote Link to comment

Son of Cyclops Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't consider Groundspeak project mystery coin, round and the Groundspeak project mystery coin, square mysteries since I know who made them and he did not make it as a mystery coin, just a personal coin. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment
LoriDarlin Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just because you know who made the Groundspeak coins doesn't make them NOT a mystery coin. He might not have made it to be a mystery coin but he didn't promote he was the maker either. They have been called a mystery coin for quite some time. I know who mystery people are...and their coins are still mystery coins, it doesn't stop just because I might have found out who the makers were. ps Don't be emailing for hints everyone...my lips are SEALED and some of them I don't know anyway. I'm just giving an example!! Quote Link to comment

I'm just giving an example!! So a mystery coin is any coin that is given or left without the person promoting or making it publicly known of his 'ownership' of the coin? Is that a correct statement? I mean yes, some of you know who the mystery people are but in the broad sense it is those people that wish to remain anonymous. So do the crappy cache gold and Christmas Gnome fall more into the thank you gift category and that is why they don't get to be on the Mystery coin list? Quote Link to comment
Theotokos Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Did the Crappy Cache and Holiday Gnome come in stockings that you purchased? I wouldn't consider that a mystery coin. Those are the ones...so I guess I still don't own a mystery coin then....darn... Quote Link to comment

I think mystery coins are coins that were made to be left in caches and/or mailed to people with no return address, they are never to be sold, and the owner either makes no Geocaching account for the the coin or he/she makes a sock puppet account for the mystery coin.
