+BlueMotmot Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I received this coin today - I love it!!! I've admired it since first seeing it here in these forums, and now my wish has come true. Thank you to whoever sent it Quote Link to comment
+Tennessee Jed Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Thank you very much for donating your coin for the Macmillan Cancer Support Center auction on ebay! I hope the coins do well in the sales! Edited March 4, 2011 by Tennessee Jed Quote Link to comment
+Mickeydv Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Set out early this morning for an eagerly awaited trekking/caching trip only to find it had to be cancelled....returning home somewhat dejected and dissapointed I checked the mailbox and saw a golden mailer....could it possibly be the one mystery coin I yearned after above all others. YES!!!! Carpe Diem 130.....I could have cried....such a beautiful and elegant coin. I have been living my life by those very words ever since the love of my life was taken 11 years ago.....although a reminder is always welcome.I will never part with this coin(or any other mysterys I've personally received) till the day I die, and then they will be passed onto my son, himself an avid cacher and budding coiner. Thank you mystery giver whoever you are.....you have warmed my heart Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I didn't know this thread was here... I received this coin about three weeks ago. I had been expecting a few coins in the mail, but something seemed odd about this particular mailer. Having never received a mystery coin before, I didn't know what to expect when I opened the package. I was stoked! I'd never seen one of these before, so I knew nothing about it, except that I really liked it. Thanks a lot, mystery mailer. You really made my month of February. Quote Link to comment
+yanagi Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, on the 21st of January I got a package, send from me to myself and it was a golden envelope! I read enough in the forum to know: this could be a CARPE DIEM MYSTERY COIN. Oh man. I was so excited, so happy. It was my first mystery coin ever. Immediately I wanted to open the mailer but then I noticed that it has already been opened and nothing was inside!!!! I can't describe how I felt: sooo happy, proud and honored that there was a mystery coiner who had sent me his coin and at the same time soooo sad that it did not make it to my hands!! I contacted Tempus Fragilis and asked him if he sent me a coin and if yes I wanted to thank him for his generosity and told him the hole story. He replied that he will send me another coin. Wow, I didn't expect that at all. Since then I waited for the post man every day. Oh man it took so long and I really worried but finally I got the package today. YAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!! I love that coin so much!!! I always loved the slogan CARPE DIEM and there is so much powerful symbolism in that coin – awesome. I took a picture of the coin with a candle because it is also a symbol of fragility. I can't stop smiling at the coin :-))). Thank you Tempus Fragilis, thank you sooo much! Quote Link to comment
+Azure Sky Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Very cool yanagi! Taking the pic with the candlelight is a nice touch; adds a little spook. Quote Link to comment

Just got finished watching the first episode of Showtime Borgias... then found an Alexander VI monument... it was pretty neat too... but nothing compared to Aexander VII... IMHO.

+Scarlett_Ohara Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I um urr ummm OK, this always happens to someone else. NOT TO ME!! Today I came home from work and saw that a box of wine and a gold padded mailer were delivered today. Great, my wine is finally here. Wait a sec, I havent ordered any coins. And ITS A GOLD PADDED MAILER. Whats going on? I somehow managed to open the package without cutting any of my fingers off and a card that says Fragilis Est Vita, Caduem Est Tempus, Carp Diem!! Life is Fragile, Time is Fleeting, Seize the day!! and an envelope with this inside ( I see some of my cat`s fur made into the second picture...ugh). The first picture is not even close to showing howstunning looking it is. And now I notice the picture has my "Life goes Fast, Have a Blast' sticker on my monitor stand in the background. HAS THE COIN SENDER BEEN IN MY ROOM??? Seriously What, Why, Who, is responsible for sending me this coin and honoring me to show it to the community first. I don`t have a clue why I was chosen. I`m still sitting here speechless and there isn`t room for all the smiley emicons to show what I am feeling now. Nor is there room for all the THANK YOU`s I want to say. Quote Link to comment
+Scarlett_Ohara Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Amazing coin, I have still yet to find a mystery mailer at my door, but I keep my spirits high in hopes that one day i will. Beautiful, lucky you are... Edited May 23, 2011 by Scarlett_Ohara Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Got home from work the other day and grabbed a stack of mail from the box only to leave it untouched. Our poor little Paws was running a fever and everything else went out the window for a bit. He's been home sick for a few days and I've just returned to the office today with "my half" of the mail and to my surprise there's a padded envelope in this heap!!! From me!!! Oooooh, it's shiny!!! Work just had to be put on hold for a few more moments as I tear into this package. To my shock, there's a Carpe Diem coin in there and it's amazing The really unusual thing about this beautiful coin is that I've seen a couple in collections recently, but never had one out of it's package to really give it the inspection needed to enjoy all the detail. It's deceptive in it's straightforward appearance and upon closer inspection it has a ton of detail, but even more interesting is the way the trans enamel changes appearance as it reaches the center of the coin. Truly beautiful and truly amazing that someone should go to such effort to give it away. You are a generous soul and have our respect in so many ways. This coin appeared at a time when I needed the reminder in a tangible way. I've been trying harder to make those moments count and to make a greater effort to take the time out for my family and myself. This seems like an amazingly timely reward for doing just that. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time for all of us! Quote Link to comment

+LewisClan77 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 So I was in the bathroom shaving my head and my son walks in with a golden padded mailer. He says "here dad, you got mail." I looked at it for a second before it hit me. OMG I think it's a mystery coin. I know I didn't mailo myself this gold. I stopped mid shave and stared at it for a minute before I opened it. Once I had it open I knew exactly what it was...CARPE DIEM. I pondered who could have sent this to me, but That is what makes recieving a mystery coin so great. I am amazed at the giving spirit of this forum. Thank you Thank you Thank you who ever you are mystery giver. You completely made my whole week. CARPE DIEM... Quote Link to comment

+Nikon-ing Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Geowoodstock was an amazing trip for me. First...life's been a little difficult lately and I didn't think I'd be able to go. Then my awesome fellow cacher/coiner Aimee said that she and her husband wanted to go and we decided to make the trip together. Best decision ever!! I met so many wonderful people and witnessed so many acts of kindness, respect and consideration that it soothed my soul. I saw Chris Mackey and his family. They parked right next to my car at the motel and I was so star struck that I wasn't able to say hello! I met YemonYime, and TMA and Mike from Cache Addict. I met drneal and all the forum friends that were there that night at his weenie/marshmallow roast. I met so many names that I know...and I was thrilled to see you all. I saw the most amazing collections of coins at the midnight madness event and traded with people I never thought I'd meet. I saw all 4 versions of moun10bike's coins and a real life Eartha coin! THEN!!!....when I got back to the motel and dumped out my treasures, look what I found! Thank you mystery giver. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Quote Link to comment
