So my question are:

Which ones (name) have you been lucky enough to obtain and brag about?

How did you receive it....in a cache, dropped in your things (i.e.Like Tsun's recent discovery), or by mail?

 

So Copy and Paste below, in your response:

We've both been VERY fortunate to receive these wonderful tokens of love, joy and friendship. Even though we do not know who is behind each and every one of them, we know that the spirit is good and kind and that means more to us than any thing else. To ALL the Mystery Coiners we do appreciate your thoughtfulness and wish you nothing but the best!

We have been very fortunate in "mystery" coins. But more importantly we have great friendships with a fantastic group of people. We continue to be amazed at the generosity of all who have shared their "mystery" coins with us and also with the people who frequent the Coin Forums. Thank you so much who have gifted us such wonder coins!!

 

Hope I didn't forget any as I am 620 miles from home and do not have access to my coins.

The Secret Santa, The Geocoin Fairy (1 and 2), Easter Bunny Eggs (all 4 versions), Creepy Crawly Cachers, The Great Pumpkin, Geocaching Jedi, Geocoin Secret Agent = I found in caches

 

Traded for the geo lep and gator nation

 

The others I received in the mail

 

Originally, the mystery coins were found in caches (much like personal coins), then they started to be mailed to recipients. An interesting morphology. :blink:

I was thinking about what is the "best" way to get a mystery coin... it is always great to find one in the mail. You know that someone was thinking of you and that the coin is for you. That gives you a wonderful feeling. On the other hand it was a great feeling too to hunt for the Geocoin Fairy coin and the CCC coin. It was so exciting to watch the cache, to plan the trip, to search the cache, and after all, when you have found the cache, to open it and there it is... the coin you hoped for for such a long time is really there, and it is for you!

 

But in the end, both ways are different, but no one is better than the other, I guess! :D

 

Thank you again, all mystery coin cachers!!!

I just want to give a HUGE thank you to all mystery coin givers for finding a way to brighten up someone's day! It is great that you generously give out coins to various individuals without expecting anything in return. Although I am sure you all get a great joy in seeing people post about their findings and experiences. Once again.. Thank you!

I have been lucky enough to receive one Mystery Geocoin. Receiving the coin was a real suprise and honor for me. I will always keep this coin, and will always have the fond memory... A BIG thanks to ALL Mystery Geocoin makers. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to be blessed with another Mystery Geocoin. (now back to the question):

We have been fortunate enough to find those all in caches. We have attempted retrieving The Geo_Leprechaun and GSA geocoins, but were beaten to the caches that they were in. We actually prefer seeing them get dropped in caches and racing to the cache to get the prize. On both of the ones we were beaten to, we ended up getting personal geocoins from the cachers that got there first that they left behind. Which was real nice! There aren't many mystery coins actually being placed in caches anymore though, so this will probably be it for our mystery collection.

 

Thanks to all the mystery coin cachers!

We have been very fortunate to find and receive a few mystery coins. Not quite as many as some of you have, but I feel really lucky to have any at all.

It's very cool and exciting to race to a cache and get there in time to claim a mystery coin, or be surprised to find one in a cache. (of course we always leave a trader for these.)

But I have to say that the greatest feeling, is to receive one in the mail addressed to us.

A coin that was sent to you is a true gift from a mystery friend.

How cool is that?

Thanks to all the mystery coin givers, and all the smiles and stories folks have shared.

;)
