+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well. I suppose the cat will be out of the bag soon enough (and as soon as it is I will chase it around! - woof-woof!) I have a new trackable" coin at long last. Okay - I don't have it, but I have the sample, which means I feel happy to announce it. Hope you like it! I had to go with 250 in order to get tracking, so these should last awhile. I plan to activate 150 of them in my name and then cache them and trade them Face2Face. Quote Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 As always, very nice LFD!!! Hope one of these makes its way down here for us to move along! Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 So, we need to meet you AFTER you have them ? It IS a rather cool looking coin. How could we get ahold of one that isn't activated? Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 So, we need to meet you AFTER you have them ? It IS a rather cool looking coin. How could we get ahold of one that isn't activated? They will probably be here mid-November. This is the sample, and I'm happy with it, so it's really just a matter of giving the green-light and getting them into production - which I'll be doing this week. I'm going to take a page from the "old school" coin folks and activate them in my name, but leave them all as a "take it or move it" item for when I place them in caches. I haven't seen the custom icon, but a little dog-bone pretty much comes to mind Face2Face trades are always fun - for other folks personal coins. It's my new favourite way to collect. Heck... as anyone who has ever met me can tell you - you don't even need a coin. Meet me and you are likely to get a coin given to you outright. It's just what I do. I'm holding back 100 unactivated ones and trying to decide if I should "make them available" to folks that really have no chance to ever meet me face to face by selling them. I dunno. 250 was the amount I need in order to get a custom icon etc, but it's a few too many for me. I won't place them on the "e" place because I don't want them selling for more than a couple dollars over cost at most. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'll buy one! Quote Link to comment

I doubt you will be coming to St. Louis, Mo anytime soon for a face 2 face trade but would be willing to buy or trade. I gave my only GeoBone to someone who really, really wanted it so I hope to replace it with another someday. CF30 Quote Link to comment

Tooeygeotrashed Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A great coin. Just a suggestion, if you don't want to see any of your coins reaching crazy prices on ebay, activate them all and adopt them over to people you trade with. Just my half a cent. Quote Link to comment

YemonYime Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Whoooo Hooooo! Way to go, LFD! Welcome back to the GEO-BONE, one of the first really original coins I had the pleasure of receiving way back when. If I'm not mistaken, "Version 1" was one of the first shaped geocoins, and came in around 5mm thick! Awesome to see a Version 2, and I hope to see one of these around. Quote Link to comment

We're not due stateside for a while now, so I guess we'll have to keep our fingers and paws crossed for a trade with one of our personal coins or a purchase. Quote Link to comment

+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well.... I discovered a way to get many, many e-mails! Announce a coin! Here I thought things had died down. Anyhow - I thought I might as well do the following and "open" some coins up for folks that I'll probably never get the chance to meet. So here's my plan: 1) I will give away 50 coins. These are to my local caching friends, some friends I have known for awhile, at events, etc. They will be activated under my name, but people can keep them. 2) I will activate 102 of the coins and leave them in caches and use them for face-to-face trades only. 3) I will sell 98 of them to folks from far away and those that want to really, really "own" one. These will be the only ones that are not activated in my name. Remember though. All I have is the sample coin so we are looking at mid-late November for the actual coins. It's a very heavy coin (equal to the original - large breeds only!). I'll set the price at a couple dollars over cost so that folks only grab one or two for themselves and don't try to make a "business" out of buying these coins! Here's the link to a place where you can order a coin if you really, really want your own unactivated one and don't think you'll ever meet me. http://www.snaptechsolutions.com/SNAP/Links.html you need to scroll down to see the coin link.

Cool coin and hopefully one day I will have a chance to trade. Congrats on another great design. I actually often try to connect with local cachers when I travel. I've been a bit of a home body lately, but I've been lucky to meet cachers in San Diego and Minneapolis and other place too! Actually, I've been a *bad* cacher... I sometimes visit caches, drop coins and don't log my visits online. I'm keeping a list and will update my finds one day Quote Link to comment

By the time the coins arrive he'll be about 6 months old, so maybe then we can think about wearing coins! Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 For those of you that used my link to purchase a coin - did it come back and tell you how many were left? I've set-up the button to limit the sale to the 98 that I am selling, but I don't know if it lets you know how many are left when you buy one. Did anyone see this info? Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) I set up another thread with the purchase link as it's sort of buried in this one. Looking forward to this one! The final product will have epoxy coating like the original and be a darker metal colour. Edited October 17, 2008 by Lemon Fresh Dog Quote Link to comment
