+Cheesy pigs Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ahhh Glennk721, you are such an enabler :huh: Thanks for all the excellent entries - keep 'em coming!!! Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Display??? Who needs a stinking display. Mine are all over the house. If I store them too close together they mate like rabbits... and then I have them all over the house again. It is a never ending battle. I do occasionally "round em up" using my "coin herding kitty" and then I sit on the floor doing a "Liz"... oh my precious you really needed polished today...... Love ya Liz!!!! Are you mocking me?

It's all your fault! You got me hooked! I'm a geocoin junkie because of you P.S. But I'm not complaining though Edited July 13, 2008 by Nochipra Quote Link to comment
+Nochipra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Haha, I don't have enough coins yet to really start displaying them, but this is where I keep them so I know where they all are at one time. It is an envelope that I received from WriteShopRobert with my raffle tickets. LOL, that's what my collection looked like when I started (for about a week maybe two) but then look what happened!

+Geo-Gophers Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) This is where my "Highland Geofairy" coin is at the moment .........lol there's probably a few people looking at this and thinking that "I'm away with the fairies" but never mind!!

+FLIPPER&CO Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Loads of great coin pic's here, but I can't figure out how to post pictures of my coin's framed, so will just have to sit this one out. Cheers Gayle & Mark Quote Link to comment

Well I have a couple ordered and on the way, but money isn't on my side right now because im getting ready to go to the beach soon so i can't buy too many. Plus, as soon as I got them, my bf would steal the new ones and try to release them. He's already attempted to do it twice. Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) And...that is it! Over and done with. Thanks to everyone who submitted a photo. The losers were: Brierpatch who gets a dishonourable mention for the total lack of interest in displaying coins. You would have won if you'd posted a photo of the one on your desk! Crevis79 also gets a dishonourable mention for the sheer disregard and contempt with which the coins are treated!! But also, sadly, no picture. The boxes, ziploc bags and envelopes were also woeful. One lonely coin near a computer is also a sad indictment I am also stunned that Smort couldn't even be bothered displaying his coins in that gorgeous cabinet! For shame! But for unadulterated shock factor, The-Wolf-Pack wins the booby prize for using a baby wipe box! That's just wrong in so many ways! Your 'prize' will be in the mail tomorrow morning But onto the winners.... Honourable mention goes to fox-and-the-hound for his wonderful photographic skills. The wooden display and photography are marvellous, as usual. Well done! DresselDragons thought laterally - Brenda's ears made a lovely display for the coins! I am also interested in the coin on her left ear.... ATMouse has marvellous ideas, of course - love the train! And I need to get one of those display cabinets! In the same vein, lorca and geo.error had marvellous displays, and if I had a second and third prize, they probably would have got it (sorry Corina!!!! You'll get something else from me ) The binders and tea box were also nice. I was very impressed by kentuckygirls leather wrapped coins. They look so good like that! I might have to pay a call to that Man in the Castle.... And Droo. What can I say? The Moroccan rug spiced up the coins with a particularly luxurious foreign flavour, while Le duste added a certain antique piquancy. The Tiki Bra certainly shows you are a fine connoisseur of objects d'arte If only there could have been two winners!!!!!!! But Geo-Gophers - now that's a well-themed display if ever I saw one! Congratulations - you are the winner! Geo-Gophers and The-Wolf-Pack Please email me your addresses so I can send off your prizes.....I will check the address book though...

+BrierPatch Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ouch! And I'd of posted a picture if I could have figured out How. On a positive note I did manage to post a picture while logging in a cache GCG132 My first ever Picture Post so maybe next time. Quote Link to comment

+Geo-Gophers Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just quickly - I hope the winners got their coins? Hello there Cheesy pigs! I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to get on the computer very much at all for the last couple of weeks......but my coins arrived safe and sound in Scotland at the beginning of last week. Thank you ever so much they're all lovely. Apologies once again for the delay in letting you know. Ali Quote Link to comment

LoriDarlin Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Love those Let It Snow coins in there Smort hehehe very nice!! Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I never did get around to posting my coins in their zippered canvas pouch, but the Cointest did inspire me to move them into a lock-n-lock. My eventual display will be a burgundy leather Dayrunner binder(half the size of a regular binder) that I used to use nearly 20 years ago for keeping organized, but now is stored away somewhere. I need to have my collection be mobile, as I'm in the Big Truck, and they will mostly be activated for discoveries at Events. Quote Link to comment
