2010 Washington Quarter Geocoins


Forty-n-Eight

Recommended Posts

Hello NW Cachers!

 

I am pleased to announce the imminent minting of the 2010 Washington Quarter geocoin. While a post of this nature should ideally be on the geocoin forum, I want to make these available to NW cachers first so I am posting here.

 

I am selling half the run or 125 coins. Respond to this thread (not in email) with the number you'd like and I'll reserve those for you. When the coins come in (2-3 months from now) I will contact you for payment.

 

Here is the coin:

 

4573070581_f85b50a89a_o.jpg4573070645_9736798fd8_o.jpg

 

250 minted (225 antique silver finish, 25 antique gold finish)

1-5/8" x 3.5mm (larger and thicker than your standard geocoin)

Trackable on geocaching.com with a custom icon

Reeded edge (just like a real quarter!)

 

Because these coins are not inexpensive to make, they are $8 each. You will also have to pay shipping ($1.50 or $2) and PayPal fees (2.9% + $0.30). Rest assured, I am NOT making money on this endeavour; I will be happy to provide a cost breakdown. For local cachers, I'm also happy to arrange for pick up to avoid shipping and PayPal fees in which case coins are $8 each straight up.

 

For orders of 5 coins, the fifth coin will be a GOLD coin (first 15 sets only!).

 

Here are the prices (includes coins, shipping, and PayPal fees):

  • 1 coin: $10.08
  • 2 coins: $18.31
  • 3 coins: $27.05
  • 4 coins: $35.29
  • 5 coins: $43.52

Cache on!

Thanks everyone!

Hello all!

 

I approved the artwork for the quarters today. I'll post pictures of the proofs when they come in.

 

All the gold coins have been claimed (those with a "*" by their name). There is a chance a reserved 5-set will not be purchased in which case I will work down the list of people who have shown an interest.

 

There are only 35 silver coins left! I will likely post to the general geocoin forum next week (kind of cool most of the coins are going to local cachers!).

 

Here's the list:

 

NWCREW: 5*

Jug & Roon: 1

Coreynjoey: 5*

troublejv: 5*

hydnsek: 5*

jholly: 5*

Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma: 2

rockitbiker: 5*

WATreasureHunters: 2

Toojin: 5*

MtnMutt: 5*

FunnyNose: 5*

Alnilam: 2

GeoBroke: 1

AndrewRJ: 1

The Jester: 5*

Terrible Ts: 5*

GrievousAngel: 2

Kiersolvd: 5*

Crystlcryptr: 5*

Patudles: 1

Hoddevik: 5*

chaosbooboogunner: 5*

jtthjones: 1

zadidoll: 2

Hey Forty-n-Eight, do you happen to have any 2008 coins left? I think we had a quick conversation about this several months ago, but I don't remember what the conclusion to that was. I was able to track down an 06 coin, but the 08 is still eluding me.

+1, if you got any 06's I would be happy to get one.

By my count there are 29 coins left for sale. I will let those who want them post to this thread until they arrive and the rest will go on eBay.

 

The coins should be here in 3-4 weeks.
