+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I was at a certain auction site and there is a Found it! Smiley coin listed there, stating that it is nonactivated, yet the smiley looks fine in design as a Found it!, but it is in the DNF smiley colors.... What's up with that? Quote Link to comment
+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 It is refered to as the "Gold version". Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Looking at the wrong auction, comments removed, wtih apologies to the actual seller. You should inquire with that seller what the enamel and metal colors are for sure. Most likely yellow/red enamel and gold metal. Hard to tell from that photo.

+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Simply a horrible picture. That seller is not known for taking a photo that looks like what they are selling. You should inquire with that seller what the enamel and metal colors are for sure. Most likely yellow/red enamel and gold metal. Hard to tell from that photo. TMA I wondered about that myself, but he specifically states in the description that it is a rare white faced one. Not sure what that means. I can see a photo dulling the colors or not being quite as true as in real life, but this one just seems too far off to be a photo color variation. I will email them and see what they say about the colors and finish. Quote Link to comment
+Team Olsson Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The photo is correct and that was sold at Geoswag. Quote Link to comment

TMA that is a rather nasty thing to say btw. the rest of the sellers pics look just fine. and each computer monitor is going to display a photo differently. but anyone can tell by looking at this pic that it is not simpy a matter of a colour shift in the photo. rsg Quote Link to comment

+The Moop Along Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 However, I do stand corrected on part of my first post. I was looking at the wrong auction, and that seller IS NOT known for bad photos. I apologize for my coinfusion in that regard. I'd still ask them to clarify the coins descriptoin TMA Quote Link to comment

+River Cacher Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 WOW I am shocked by this thread and just noticed it. The colors are the right colors and i stated this in the discription and here is a copy of it that was there since it was posted. This is the rare white version of the Found It Geocoin. This has a smiley face with white background. This is Trackable At Geocaching.com Quote Link to comment

If i cant get a good enough photo or find one i just through the coins in the back of the file cabinet. I had seen some of those and they made me feal good as not all of mine are perfect. I did go ahead and edit the coin a little. LOL I did recieve a nice email from The Moop Along and it is all good. Quote Link to comment

I wasn't sure if it was intentionally made that way or if it was an error. When I was younger, I used to collect alot of baseball cards and of course if an error came through the printing and then they corrected it, the errors that had gotten released were a hot item. Eventhough I wasnt interested in buying the coin, I wondered if it could have been an error in production or if in past years before I started caching if prehaps the smileys looked different or what. When I couldn't find anything online by doing a search, I posted this. I figured with the way people here are very knowledgeable with the coins, this would get me some quick answers. Sorry if anything here offended you. Quote Link to comment

+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Okay, so after all the talk about this coin, I put a bid on it and won it. Just got it yesterday and I still haven't found anything about this coin anywhere.... The icon is a normal micro smiley....but what is with the blue face on the coin? I can't find if it was a special run or what. I activated it through Oakcoins and sent them an email, but still I thought I should be able to find a pic of it at there site or somewhere and I just can't. Anyone know what the deal is? as far as history of it or production run? anything? Quote Link to comment
+TEAM HARTSOCK Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Got my answer from Oakcoins (and I am pretty pleased by it): Scott, Yes, what you bought is an error coin. There were 300 gold coins made with the blue coloring instead of the yellow colors. You get the regular yellow-faced icon because this coin was supposed to be a regular yellow Found It! Micro.
