+Moote Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Years ago I remember a website which had many pictures of coins, and at the time was quite comprehensive, but I can't find the link now Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 There's no one place to look for all geocoins currently available to purchase because they are being designed and minted all the time, by different cachers and different companies, mainly in USA but some here in UK. The pinned topic at the top of this forum will show you the names of some recent gecoins produced by UK geocachers. A few of the UK suppliers of geocaching items also sell a selection of geocoins. If you keep a regular watch on the Geocoin Discussion forum you'll get advanced news of geocoins being designed by cachers and they'll usually post to let everyone know as soon as their geocoins are available for either pre-ordering, or immediate sale. A good selection of geocoins appear for sale on Ebay worldwide but you have to do your homework before bidding wildly because sometimes the geocoin will still be available direct from the producer cheaper than it sells for in the on-line auction. No easy answers for purchasing geocoins - you just have to keep your eyes open in all the above various places and then pick and choose something that appeals to you personally.

+Eclectic Penguin Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 There's no one place to look for all geocoins currently available to purchase because they are being designed and minted all the time, by different cachers and different companies, mainly in USA but some here in UK. There's no central registry for coins available for purchase as the majority of coins are minted by foundries for individuals and are then sold privately by the people who commission them and there are many different outlets. As to coins that have been made available in the past, how about this page? It doesn't show the coins themselves but does appear to be a definitive list of all Geocoins that have been ever been registered at Groundspeak along with their official names and icons. Some of these coins had very limited runs and some were never made available for sale publicly. This page takes quite a long time to download as each icon is requested separately by the browser...
