+ciscoguy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I am going to be holding an 888 event in Utah. Do people like event coins? How collectable are they? Here is the image of the coin I am considering have a pre-sale to sell these to people out of state. Would out of state people buy these? What is your honest opinion. Plus this is my first Geocoin that I am having done. ciscoguy Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Would out of state people buy these?: It's an event coin. Of course I would buy it. What is your honest opinion: I like it. Cool design. It's an event coin. Last year there were 7/7/7 events and coins to go with. You might be starting something for this year. Though 8/8 is during MWGB, but for those not going, you never know. Good luck with it and will keep an eye out for these. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) There are several of us who will be hosting the same event in various locations around the US and having a joint coin also. We also did the 7/7/2007 event too. If you're not married to that particular design, maybe you should join up with us. Edited April 23, 2008 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment
+Fastest Turtle Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think the coin is outstanding ! You should go with it ! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I have 3 pages of event coins but am kinda picky about the designs. This one is just too simple for my tastes but I'm sure it'll do well. Good luck with your first coin and may your event be a great success too. Quote Link to comment

I am excited because this is my first event and I didn't want to procrastinate and do this last minute. Plus it is my first coin. Quote Link to comment
+ciscoguy Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 If anyone else is interested in holding their own 888 Event, you are more than welcome to use my coin. We can change the location and GC number to reflect your event. PM or email me. You can even choose a different finish for your coin. You can do orders of 100. Quote Link to comment
+larry739 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 What a great idea. I could see doing that. It would be great fun and a good excuse for an event. Quote Link to comment
+pghlooking Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) I could be wrong but, I thought the group that did the 777 coins were putting this together again this year for the 888 event and coin. Nevermind. I see someone already said this in the other thread about this coin.. Edited April 27, 2008 by pghlooking Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Merging duplicate threads. Please keep all of your coin information to one thread. Quote Link to comment
+FLIPPER&CO Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Cool event date, and the start of the olympics as it is considered good luck. The Flipper's from our A:Team have also selected this day for our big event, but it is a wedding we are doing Will have to watch for the orders and see if we can get a 888 coin for the collection as well.
