+_c3_ Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I have received: None. I have discovered: One. I have seen a few in collections, however didn't see any tracking numbers on those... (or perhaps I lost the tracking #?... D'oh!). I've also seen a few pop up on e-bay, but alas, they typically go for a lot more than I can afford. I guess it's all still a Mystery to me. Quote

+Toojin Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Does anyone know if this is a mystery coin? Nope this is not a mystery coin. It was created by the GHOST/SWAGS coin group/ club/ whathaveyou. If you search for SWAGS on the geocoincollection, you will see the four coins from those folks. Quote

R/GBOTS Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 They kind of lost their appeal when they stopped being placed in caches. I have to disagree with this. The coins that we have received in the mail, (free and clear gifts), are very special to me, and mean so much more. Quote
+amagrud Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) I can't remember if I own any others. They kind of lost their appeal when they stopped being placed in caches. Maybe thats why the Devil coins are usually found in caches! Edited March 2, 2009 by amagrud Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Here is my lovely collection of mystery coins. Living at least 16,000km from the main 'action' I am always surprised, thrilled and impressed that mystery coiners even remember about me! Quote

The coins that we have received in the mail, (free and clear gifts), are very special to me, and mean so much more. Absolutely - of course it's cool to find them in caches but there are a whole bunch of folk that would never ever get the chance of receiving a mystery coin had they not been sent in the mail. Thank you mystery coiners for all the smiles you bring to folk. Quote

+Landsharkz Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Silly question...What's a mystery geocoin and who sends them?? A mystery coin is a coin that someone (or a group of someones) place in caches, mail out or add to donation tables at events anonymously. They are probably distributed in other ways as well. They are a gift (swag) if you find one in a cache. Consider a coin about $8-10 value when trading for a mystery coin in a cache. Someone placed a GeoJedi right in front of us on one of our tables at GWVI in California last summer and we have no idea who did it. That's the fun part! We have no idea how long it was sitting there for before one of us saw it. Quote

My next project is to learn about events and maybe attend one when I can. Thanks for the info! Quote
+shnz821 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hi there! Can anyone tell me the name of a particular mystery geocoin? It has a smiling jack-o-lantern on one side and Happy Haunting Geo-boos & gouls on the other. These are done in glow in the dark orange paint. There is no number on it. I found this in a local cache, and some seasoned cachers here in Denver think it's definitely a mystery coin, but noone seems to know what it's called. I have pictures, but can't seem to add them to this post (I'll try to add them to my geocaching profile if possible). I'd appreciate any info you all can share! Thanks!! Quote
+nefesh Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I'm very honored to say I've received 2 mystery coins; The Wishing Coin and one from the Easter Coin Bunny (just received today). Both mailed. Here's my EGG....... Edited April 12, 2009 by nefesh Quote

+ECplus3 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Name of Mystery Geocoin: G. O'Coin B.U.G. Esquire Method Obtained: mail Name of Mystery Geocoin: Dutch Lion Method Obtained: mail Name of Mystery Geocoin: Banned Binary Coin Method Obtained: trade I'm up to four now! Name of Mystery Geocoin: The Wizard - Quality Control Method Obtained: event While talking to a group of people at a recent event, and showing off some of my own coins, someone tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a coin. He said it was a Landsharkz quality control coin. I had no idea what that meant, so I looked at it briefly and pocketed it. I thanked him and noticed that he still had a handful. I am fairly sure that the giver was not 'the wizard', especially since another one was received at an event in Las Vegas just a few days later! The funny thing was that I didn't even clue in that it was a mystery coin until the thread appeared here on the forums! Quote
pyramides Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Some of those coins are so beautiful. Still hoping and wishing to find one in a cache soon. Quote
+NeoCult Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I have received one of the Highland Geofairy Coin's in one of my cache's and she mailed me to say she is sending me a trackable one I feel very lucky to have been given two coins from them Quote
