+Mauison Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The only geocoin that I have yet to see in person is the Indy Diver coin, so I'd say that's probably the hardest one to find. Quote Link to comment
+blazerfan Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 What coin, in your opinion, would be the rarest to obtain for one's collection (the holy grail of coins)? I'd say an original run Moun10Bike Coin. There are 200 original series Moun10Bike coins, but only 100 Team FISUR coins... but Moun10Bike probably wins because its so well known. IndyDiver is another rare one... not sure how many he had made. Waypoint15 and DHobby (original with fancy cut edge) are also rare. I do have an Original Moun10Bike (thanks to a trade before geocoins really took off... who would have known?) and a local cacher gave me a DHobby original that he had found in a cache a couple years back. Of the remaining the Team FISUR is the coin I'd most like to have. I do wonder what an Original Moun10Bike coin would sell for on eBay... it would surely go for more than a Washington I'd hope... maybe reach $100? or more... Its only true that my collection is pretty untouchable... for cash. Quote Link to comment

+Kealia Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I almost forgot the GD Mystery Coin. Does anyone know anything about this coin? The first rule of the GD Mystery Coin is that you don't talk about the GD Mystery Coin! Seriously, though...I;ve been sking locals about it as well as none of us really knwo anything about it nor has anybody seen one in person. We all think it's just a photoshop trick and the coin doesn't really exist . I'm throwing down the gauntlet - somebody post a pic of a GD Mystery Coin with either: A) A story of it's origin, what the heck it is, etc. OR A picture of it with a recent newspaper (like a ransom picture) Me thinks only bigfoot has one..... .

The number of the one I have for trade is 81. He made 150, but the first 50 he tucked away to save. I reached out across the wired world and asked Johnnie Lacy if he'd be interested in listing his legendary Coin Edition on the site... He did!

+donbadabon Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Didn't hear back either. I offered any three from my trade list. Didn't even get an acknowledgement. After all the trading from everyone here, my little display case is overflowing! Looks like I may have to start with the binders. Anyone used those to store their coins? Pros or cons? Still looking for any metal coin I don't already own. Love to trade! Quote Link to comment

Not saying you WON'T get it, but the 1st run M10B coin is rare not only because so few were made but because it was the first coin made. You may have to offer up one of your children like Nurse Dave did if you really want one! BTW, got a pic of that bronze one? Quote Link to comment
