+Degai Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Have you ever received a package in the mail from a trade or a mission that you thought was awesome? The obvious is that you have received a coin you wanted and of course you love it. But, I am talking about those “coiners” that go beyond the call of duty. You know who I am talking about-those packages that you are just amazed by their contents or those that make you laugh when you open them. I haven’t noticed any posts concerning this topic in particular, so I wanted to start this post for those of you who feel inclined to share with others the creativity, cleverness, inventiveness, and generosity of those who always go way beyond the 110%. Please feel free to post anything here that you receive now or anything you have received from the past. Since I just received a package from DaFunkyFrogs yesterday, I will give you an example: First, their return address is themed with their name-there’s a frog on a branch; on the back of the envelope is a note that says, “Shake me 2 empty” (with a smiley face). . .huummm, what’s this? You open the package, and out jumps many tiny little green frogs! I just had to laugh at this. Then, they include a beautifully handcrafted clip with an adorable little ceramic frog on a pink and green macramé. Sooo adorable! And of course, the Pièce de résistance -their beautiful and well detailed coin where glitter and translucences abound! Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Briarpatch sends out packages completely out of the blue that I think fit the bill! Here are two that I have received as Thank You gifts for my Cointest Games. A few days ago... A while before that... These were completely unexpected, and a lot of work has been put into the Replicoin Cards! Thank You Wes!! Link to comment

+Degai Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 I had the privilege to BriarPatch while I was at GeocoinFest08. He is very entertaining and generous. He handed out this really cool paper "geocoin bills". I have no idea how he made them, but they are very detailed and very awesome! Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Someone who for me went beyond the 'call of duty' was CLAMM. She sent me the Witch's coin mission along with a coin that I have been looking for a long time now, the Swabian Alb. After that, she also offered up a Stonehenge Ultimate Mystery coin for trade. These two coins have been on the top of my list, well ever since I made a list and I don't think it would've been possible to find them without her. Thanks Lisa! Link to comment
Tooeygeotrashed Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I don't wish to appear as a party pooper on this - but - the mission threads are there for sharing what has been received, to single out people, however generous they may be, could make some people uncomfortable. There are plenty of people out there that might not enter a mission now because they do not have the resources to gift such spectacular packages. Appreciation can and should be given in the relevant mission thread, details can also be given in the mailbag thread, I really don't think it appropriate to open another one, it diminishes the effort put in by everyone else who has participated in missions, and I am sure that the majority of participants do so to the very best of their ability. Let's keep it about the giving and receiving - not who did best. Link to comment
+Eartha Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Tooey is right. So I wonrt repeat it. It's very nice to see how creative and generous people are, but please use the individual mission threads to post these photos and thank you notes. Closing this thread as gently as I can.
