Wolf_Pack Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 After many months of design and communication, my idea of a geocoin in support Wolf Haven International has become a reality. For every coin purchased, Wolf Haven will receive a donation from the proceeds. They should be available soon on geoswag's website. Quote Link to comment

ATMouse Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'll be buying, too. Nice coin, good organization. Quote Link to comment
+JoenGPS Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 We love this coin and what it stands for.....well done. We will be buying a few of these. We love a coin with a story to tell! Quote Link to comment
Wolf_Pack Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 I had been looking for a "wolf" coin for some time, but found nothing available. That's when I came upon the idea of designing my own support coin for a great organization like Wolf Haven, which also supports conservation and education about wild wolves. Just to be clear, the only thing I get from the sale of any Wolf Haven coin is the pleasure of seeing the support for the organization. My time, effort, and design has also been donated. I am really hoping the coins will sell quickly. To date there was only just over 100 minted in total, between the antique bronze and antique silver colors. In addition to raising money for Wolf Haven, I want to increase awareness about the valuable role wolves play in the overall ecosystem. Thank you to all for your support and encouragement. Emma at Oakcoins was a pleasure to work with on this project. She made the whole process easy and pain free. Quote Link to comment

FightingDrag Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I sadly have no funds to purchace one, but my friend would LOVE one of these. he is a avid wolf fan. also id love one just to have as a collection. heres hoping theres more left when i can afford one!! Quote Link to comment
+Zarya. Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Nice! I spent a winter at Wolf Park early in my undergrad. They had someone propose the idea of a geocoin to them early on but nothing came of it. I circulated my geocoin album around IRV one evening and now I think they wouldn't mind having one of their own just like that! If I had not stopped collecting I would have bought two of those for the wildlife pages. I think the wolf's tail is raised too high, but otherwise great classic design! Quote Link to comment
+Tonyalynnm Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I want one of these when they become available for sell!! I love the design and it is for a great cause. Quote Link to comment

+Howlingmoon Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I ordered one but, I wish I could have ordered a couple more. Maybe in a couple months when I start making money, if they're still available. I know my fiance would love to have one. Quote Link to comment

+badger10 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Can you still buy these geocoins. I visited Wolf Haven years ago and would like to buy one. Quote Link to comment
Wolf_Pack Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Hi Badger10, I think Oakcoins sold-out quite a while ago, but the Wolf Haven gift shop may still have coins. I checked their online store, but couldn't find them. I recommend you give them a call and ask. I bet they'll work with you to get one, if them still have them. Their number is (800) 448-9653. If you have no luck, send me another message and I'll see what I can do. Wolf_pack Edited January 22, 2011 by Wolf_Pack Quote Link to comment

LycansLeap Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I was wondering how it would be best for someone in another country to buy one of them? One of my teammates is Wolf mad, and would love one, but doesn't have the facilities to call internationally. Is there an easier way? Perhaps a US team could help us out? Quote Link to comment
+badger10 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks for the info WolfPack. I called today and ordered a couple of them. Quote Link to comment
Wolf_Pack Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 As mentioned in another thread, the third version in the Wolf Haven Geocoin series (Gold) has been released for sale on Ebay. Approximately 40% of the sales price will go to support the great work of Wolf Haven. Quote Link to comment
Wolf_Pack Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 As mentioned in another thread, the third version in the Wolf Haven Geocoin series (Gold) has been released for sale on Ebay. Approximately 40% of the sales price will go to support the great work of Wolf Haven. After comments on another thread about my financial motives, I want to clarify the monetary aspects of this project. At the time of purchase, approximately 40% of the coin price from the initial sale will go to support the great work of this extraordinary wolf sanctuary. Once the finances are all settled, I will donate all remaining funds beyond my costs. I have no purpose or intention to profit. The point of this entire project is to support and promote the work of Wolf Haven. Please tell your fellow cachers! Let's get these coins into the wild! Thanks Quote Link to comment
