+islander1988 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Well, when I made my latest geocoin with a Halloween theme, I set one version aside. The XXLE Antique Copper "Bare Metal" version wasn't sold, and only 5 coins were made in this finish. I'm keeping one, and the rest are being given away. One's already been given as a prize in a contest I did on a local geocaching forum. Here's the first chance for someone from the wider geocaching community to get one. One guess per cacher every 5 minutes. Here's the question: On November 27, 2005 I sat at my computer, anxiously waiting for the start time, and once it hit quickly sent an e-mail, thus purchasing my first geocoin from an internet sale. What coin was it? Edit to say: Congrats to Ford Freak for guessing the right answer! See post #16 for cointest #2. Edited October 31, 2009 by islander1988 Link to comment

+Red Otter Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks for the cointest! Was it the "Cache the Fever" coin? Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 2006 Ontario geocoin? That's correct! Sorry for the delay, just had to double check that it was called the 2006 and not 2005 coin (which is what I thought it was at first). Send me your address through my GC profile so I can send out your coin. Another cointest coming later, after I get home from town. Link to comment

+FonsB Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I guess it was the LIGO Coin. Greetings from Germany. Barbara Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Okay, cointest part 2. It's Halloween, and what's part of Halloween? Giving treats to others. So, this part of the cointest involves nominating another cacher to receive one of these coins. The Rules: 1) You can nominate up to 5 people. 2) You can only nominate 1 person per post, so if you want to nominate 5 people, you have to make 5 posts. 3) The winner will be the person in the post number chosen by a random number generator (hence the reason why each post can have 1 nomination). 4) You must know the address for the person you're nominating so you can tell me where to send the coin. 5) Cointest ends at midnight Atlantic time (just over 4 hours away). Have fun! Link to comment
