+PengoFamily Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have seen discussions in the past about what geocoins are your favorite and they usually end up being all trackable ones. There are some great trackable coins out there. But I would like to know what non trackable coins are your favorite and why? In the beginning all geocoins were non-trackable from what I can tell. Correct me if I am wrong. Some of my favorites are; -Indy Diver coins -Coinfusion Project coins -Ajetpilot There are others too. Quote Link to comment

nebukatneza Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yaahls feather - great coin, wonderful idea and design and it's crow-related... all my favorite coins have something to do with crows... Dancing Fool's crow geocoin - if it shines pick it up....)) LoriDarlin personal coin - wonderful coin of a great person, a moon on one side and a cross on the other, paired with an interesting saying. so glad that i have these non-trackable beauties in my collection. have to think of some others, too, there are a lot of more nice coins out there....

+fox-and-the-hound Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 One of my favorite is the Bluegirl/geoLobo. Gotta love how that bluegirl looks Until this very moment, I never realized it wasn't trackable! It sits proudly in my display case and I never even noticed. Just goes to show how striking the design is that you'd forget something so basic. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, your right about the CCC coin it was on the edge? Sorry. The I Love Geocoins is the one with the boy heart on one side and the girl heat on the other (those are not trackable). And the Snow Globes were offered in trackable and non trackable. We got the non trackable one when they came out. Quote Link to comment

+Bhob Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hmmm . . . This begs a question If it is not trackable, what makes it a "geocoin" ? Don't get me wrong I am not taking issue or nitpicking I'm just curious For example, that pewter feather is absolutely awesome I'd be happy to just see one, let alone own one It is certianly a work of art, and a stunning one at that But what, specifically, is there about it that makes it a "geocoin" ? I'm guessing that it is pretty much just that the creator/maker/producer deemed it to be such And nothing more (nor anything less) I will be interested to hear other thoughts on this topic Quote Link to comment

If it was made in the spirit of geocaching, that makes it a geocoin.

I'm guessing that it is pretty much just that the creator/maker/producer deemed it to be such And nothing more (nor anything less) I will be interested to hear other thoughts on this topic I am sure that the oldies around here will correct me if I am wrong but with the exception of mountain bike all geocoins were swag and non trackable. When Groundspeak first allowed tracking on them there was still a load of non trackables being made and traded. Once the idea of tracking and especially icons came in then the non trackable took a back seat in many peoples mind. As a lot of newbies came in then there wasw less concentration on these. Evolution happens - not many non trackables swopped on forum (Broken W is an exception) now. It is all mystery coins and missions and cointests. We have in my opinion lost individual creativity in some cases as the need for icon and tracking adds so much money. I could not have afforded that on the top of my chester coin I would have had to have worked a deal as I did with the sherlock holmes coin and this leads to compromise for the company's commercial gain. Just my 2 penniworth Bob Maybe we should have a non trackable trading thread - "Back when I was Young....." Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing that it is pretty much just that the creator/maker/producer deemed it to be such And nothing more (nor anything less) I will be interested to hear other thoughts on this topic It's an excellent question and much debated, but in the end it always seems to boil down to the same things: 1) Produced by geocachers and for geocachers 2) produced specifically with the intent of leaving in caches or cachers hands 3) often the personal signature item of a geocacher as a form of identity ("I was here") to enrich the caching experience for others. From what I've seen some of the earliest geocoins (and most infamous) were non-trackable. Look at some just here in the coins listed and you'll see what I mean. Want to stir a really big pot? Try and argue that YemonYime's Yimes aren't geocoins! That'll get things cookin! You might also ask what make a signature item a geocaching signature item, what makes a swag bag out of a backpack or a caching partner out of a friend. Quote Link to comment
