+BRoKeN W Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 After receiving my second mystery coin as a gift, I started compiling a list of profiles for these givers of coins and smiles! Here is what I came up with. Are there anymore? please feel free to add any I may have missed. Cache Reaper CreepyCrawlyCachers Don't Fence Me In G. O'Coin B.U.G. Esquire Geo Sasquash Geo_Bandit Geo_Leprechaun Geocaching_Angel Geocaching Jedi GeocoinDevil Goede Sint Goofy Cacher Great Geo Pumpkin Highland GeoFairy Hope Idaho - 2 Bring Hope Imagine_Peace MWGB Mystery Parrot Mystical Greenman Serial Finder * The Coin Dropping Fairy The Easter Geocoin Bunny The Geocoin Fairy The Geocoin Secret Agent The Phantom Cacher The Shadow The Wishing Coin There are a couple that I have never seen coins from yet. If anyone can show us a pic, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by all. Non profile mystery coins Banned Binary Coin Christmas Elf * Crappy Cache Award Dark Knight Gator Nation * MickeyDiver Mouth of the South Night Before Christmas Pay It Forward Santa's Stocking * not sure if these are concidered mystery coins or not It seems I can't edit my original post after a certain time frame as I did yesterday several 8 or 10 times, so I'll just do it this way. I have added a list of non profile coins and will spend more time updating that list soon. 'Hope Idaho' and 'don't fence me in' have been added to the list.... interesting profiles on both... It took me a while searching the forums, but I think Santa's Caching Clauses is the profile that belongs to the Santa's stocking mystery coin. Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 juist a quicky.... but how do the mystery givers know where to send the coins??... I am not a mystery coin giver. I also don't trade coins to speak of. However I know folks who do trade and know everone. Were I to decide to become a mystery coin giver I'm sure that they would be very helpful, especially if they were in on the secret. A few discrete inquiries for what few addresses they don't already have, and all the addresses needed would be known. Sometimes it's not who you are so much as who you know, and can trust.

avroair Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 However I know folks who do trade and know everyone. Sounds like a good way to get addresses. Trading fosters relationships and addresses Quote Link to comment

+LionsLair Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 wow, looks like an update to this list is in order. I didn't see any signs or hear anything about the Lorax while at Cacheapaloosa last weekend, however I did run across the Reaper/Bell Witch and MysticGreenman. Missed the Wizard by just minutes and Santa was hiding from me ( I have a bone to pick with him about being on the naughty list) looking forward to see what "I Hide You Seek" has come out with. love the profile pic. I guess I'll try harder to make Santa's nice list and to track the Wizard down next year if they decide to attend again... Any other mystery coiners that want to visit Florida, I'd be glad to be your chaffuer. Dark Knight?...anyone?... Quote Link to comment

Firefly03 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ok, so it's been awhile since anyone has done anything with this list, so I took it upon myself to create a spreadsheet. It is still a work in progress, I am working on getting pictures right now. So, take a look and let me know if I forgot something, or if you know something that I don't have filled in, or if you have a picture of the coin itself, or if I have some info that is wrong, please let me know.

+Just a Trifle Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thanks for the list Firefly03 - there are a lot more mystery coins than I realised. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Awesome list you have there Firefly03!!! I see you have seperate listings for a 'Goede Sint' geocoin and two versions of the 'Sinterklaas' geocoin. I believe these are the same thing. The Sinterklaas coin is pictured on the Goede Sint's profile page. The Sinterklaas v1 came out in 2006 and has a green present on the back with a red bow. The Sinterklaas v2 came out in 2007 and has a blue present with a yellow bow. There is also a Dutch mystery coin called the Gele Bussie or 'Yellow Bus'. People may think it was made by Barny, a Dutch cacher, since the icon is his avatar and he is famous for his yellow bus, but it was not. I think it should be included as a mystery coin. According to KarelKraak of k2coins, there are several versions: Trackable: silver, gold, antique gold (no enamel) Non-trackable: black nickel and several samples Quote Link to comment

I also have Serial finder coin. So i need only a smal part of the mystery coins they are listed here. Greetings René WOW!!!!! What an amazing collection!!!! And you have metal and color varietes of coins too!!!! Great collection!!! I do not know some for them... actually I didn't know that the V3 of the geocoin angent was out, and I so not know the coin after the eggs... I cann ot see it clearly... Oh! Many fairies!!! I have none.. well maybe one day.. I saw a pyramid... lips, a Christmas one...and one that says... UF?? (with the geocaching colors...) Oh! the Green man!!! That coin reminded me last Sunday when I was out... we went to a beautiful place where a small and very old church is (near this there is a small waterfall too!), but the place was full of trush!!! So many tin cans, glass bottles... plastic bottles... huh! Well... I collected them, and fill 3 big bags!!! When we left I took them with me and when we went to the city we visited a machine that is for recycling! when you put tin cans in it (it also takes plastic bottles, and glass), you get as a pay back 1 euro cent! Not in real money but in a receipt voucher! You can spend that in a supermarket! Of course if you do not want the money... there is a button to push and the money will be donated for something.... The money are not a lot but.... as we say here... been by been you feel you bag!! I started puting all the cans and bottles in the special openings..... and I donated 2 of the 3 receipts of the money I felt so nice! What did I do with the other receipt?? there was an old guy there who is poor and he is trying to get some money to eat by collecting tin cans etc from the roads and feeeding the machine.... well.. I gave the receipt to him and told him.. Happy Easter! (we actually say.. Christos Anesti)! He was watching me so curious!!! I felt so nice!!! the bad thing is... that today there were celebrations inthe area so.... I am 100% sure that it will be full of trush again!!! I do not know when I will be there again but at least for a week the place was clean! I have some of these mystery coins, and I actually have one that you do not have... the cowboy chicken! I won it in a cointest!! IT is a lovely coin!!! The coins came to me with the mail and were special gifts from the mystery makers (and friends!)! I love them too! they are definatelly keepers! I know that it may look stupid or crazy, but I feel a little special when I see them in my mail! I am wondering if I did something special to deserve such an honor! Well.. I am always me! ..and I consider these coins as a kind of medals! you know... you see that for some cachers who probably know... or not but you have no idea that they are mystery givers... you mean something... these coins carry feelings from amazing, kind, generous people who are spending money to make them and to post them in many areas (yes! Postage is money too, but we forgeting them! ), without even wanting to know who they are!!! That is so amazing and great!!!! Anyway.. I am sure you all know that already, and they know our feelings for them and for what they do! Quote Link to comment
