+GeocoinGuy Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 With all the chatter about hard to release geocoins, proxies, coins being lost and stolen and the like, let me introduce you to the first of a series of coins coming from GeocoinDesign.com! Presenting: The Ugliest Geocoin in the World! This is the first of a $5 Geocoin series that is so hideous and gross - you certainly will be putting them in caches because you wouldn't want them to disgrace your gorgeous geocoin collections!! This coin shall be offered in Antique Copper and Antique Nickel, so you would certainly put them into the wild. Of course, each coin in the $5 Geocoin series will come with its unique icon. Coin particulars: 38mm (1.5") x 2.5mm Round Platings: Antique Copper/Antique Nickel Hope you like it and the entire $5 Geocoin series to come! Quote Link to comment

That was very quick service! Trying to decide which color I'm gonna keep. The other 2 will probably get sent into the wild. I may send one, and give the other to my family for them to send out.

+GeocoinGuy Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 The icons for the "Ugliest" geocoin have been loaded, but I see errors for those of you interested. The Icon is showing on the "Trackables" tab in your profile, but NOT on the coins' trackable page, nor is the 16 pixel icon showing in your inventory. I have advised Groundspeak of the error, so hopefully it will be resolved soon! ~J Quote Link to comment
