+dorkfish Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I really, really tried to narrow it down to just 10 coins but had a lot of trouble. Here are my fav's in no particular order: Four Season Geocoins - These coins are just amazing. I have done pottery for many years and am amazed at how beautiful these turned out. Washington 2004 & 2005 - Mt Saint Helens is one of my favorite volcanoes and I absolutely love these coins. Probably my favorite geocoins ever. Mickey Diver - Luv, luv, luv Mickey, Disney World & this coin! Any Shop99er personal coin - I don't have them all but I cherish the ones I do have Harry Potter Hogwarts Holiday - I've read all the books multiple times and seen the movies lots. Can't wait for the next movie to come out already! Tsun's first earth turtle coins - Absolutely adorable 2Hillbillies - I love manatees and I love the use of color on this coin. Jeeptoysrus Jeep shaped coins both night & day versions - I was lucky enough to trade for these great coins way back when & they are still way up there on my most fav list. There was one more version of this coin that I never got, maybe one day it'll show up on ebay Landsharkz shark shaped coins - these are just too darn cute! Go-Mad-Cow set of 3 coins - super tiny and adorable WorkerofWood - Love the cute little magnet on the coin along with the coin itself. Geocaching 4x4 Adventure coins - I was really lucky to trade for 4 out of the 5 coins when they first came out. I love these coins. I never did get the red one but that's ok. The Geocoin Fairy - just a really cute coin with a nice meaning behind it. Hides & Finds Geocoin Club Plastic Container Hide - I love all of these coins but this is my fav Groundspeak Lackey Coins - I just love the people on these coins, way too cute! Hawaii Pineapple Shaped coin - I used to have this coin but I couldn't find it in my collection. Thank you everyone who mentioned any of my coins as their favs, that really makes me feel good Quote Link to comment

+The 4 F's Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here are my top 10 favorites... Quote Link to comment
+UFgatorgirl Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here are my top 10 favorites... oohh, i love the florida one with the alligator. where did you get it? Quote Link to comment
+The 4 F's Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It's the 2006 Florida Geocaching Association coin - I purchased it back then when they first came out. It really is a nice coin. I also have the limited edition gold finish, but the regular edition antique silver (pictured) is a nicer looking coin in my opinion (much better contrast on the alligator) Quote Link to comment

+PengoFamily Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I am really touched to see our coin on people's lists. thanks so much!! I gotta look through mine to come up with a list...been busy lately. Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I didn't ever get a chance to get a PengoFamily, Chantal but I'm sure if I had it would be in my list...especially the sunset edition... Well fellow coiners sorry about bending the rules a bit but I just couldn't get the list under 12 coins: Frozen Buns- I love this coin because of the colors, the glow, the snow and hey it has a dunny on it! The other side also has a really cool design too. Grossherzogtum Baden 2007- It took a long time for me to find this coin. My maiden name was Herzog and I have german roots. I miss my mom's kraut 3doxies- This was the first coin given to me out of kindness. I started collecting coins and realized there is a coin for pretty much everything so I searched for a dachshund coin and this one popped up. Doxies rock!!! Missing my babies a lot!!!! Swabian Alb- It took a long time to find one of these and I eventually got it in the Witch's Mission. I just love the clean design and especially this finish. I have a undergrad degree in paleontology. Highland Geofairy #14- my first 'mystery' coin which I traded for. I just love a white coin. So simple and elegant and the quote on the back makes me smile 2007 Earth Turtle- I got it in my first mission, I think it was the Birthday Mission. So beautifully designed, it still sits on my computer. 2008 Earth Turtle- nutella version, browns and creams on copper what else is there to say but yum! MnGCA Aurora Borealis- I wanted this coin in the worst way but couldn't find it for the longest time (before the remint). A friend sent me this one out of his own collection....I used to watch the Aurora Borealis out of my bedroom window when I was a kid before I went to sleep. Landsharkz Canada N/S- I love both sides of this coin! I grew up in the Canadian Prairies so I love the tractor icon and my husband grew up in Flin Flon, MB. which is more like the North side of the coin. The art is amazing!!! Stonehenge Ultimate mystery- It took forever to find a trade for this one!!!! I have wanted it almost from the beginning of my trading. Quite simply, I love the colors. Now I have two...shiny gold and foggy gold. Geocoin bug mystery-The mystery coin I have wanted for so long, given to me by a great friend it means so much more. Quote Link to comment
+nefesh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 this was a fun exercise. made me think a little, why certain coins were faves etc. Tranquility: Light Gold. Unbelievably beautiful. The prettiest coin out there in all its permutations! Layers of texture and colour, something new to see each time i look at it. Tumbleweed: Silver. When i first started in coins, this was my very first heart's desire coin. ha. little did i know how rare it was. but as i said in another thread, your true desires come to you at some point. thank you bluemotmot! Dancing Fool: Copper Buffalo Wings: white buffalo. thanks to castle man this came home to live with me in my desert. i have dreams of white buffalo which are weird. that and rattlesnakes, i am always dreaming of rattlesnakes. Atocha cross: simply gorgeous! Flute Face. it has a kokopelli on it! nuff said. GeoBonefish: a small work of art. Tengwar: turqouise and silver. ah me... love it! License to Cache: Black and Red trader only version. LOVE this version, heck, love all the metal versions of this one. especially the bronze with violet enamel. AND Tranquility: Blue is My World - first minting of this edition. slightly different than the later mintings. this is a great thread with pics of coins i had not seen before. so very cool! lara I went back to look at you're top 10. I see you listed a couple tranquility-boy they're gorgeous! Quote Link to comment
