Zelanzy's Haul #1:

Zelany's Haul #2:

Through all the events I gave away ~20 coins to events/kids, sold ~170, and bought/traded ~70. It was a great event!!! I cheated and only had to drive 20 miles from home, so it was a pretty easy one to attend and vend at (thanks NOSNOW and Friends!!!)

 

I normally can pick a favorite coin or 2 (last year was anasazi spirit dweller and yemon yime V3) but this year it's much more difficult!!! I'd say a toss up between Anne's wolf, Vanelle's Flower, geocoinstores Angel/lotus compass event coin, cache addicts netsuke or hogwildes plane or trojan helmet, and oakcoins avroair 2010. If I had to pick just 2 though...I'd probably go with avroairs turbine coin and vanelle's flower.

Is that a new butterfly I see there in the bottom center? or is that the Green/Copper one?

 

EDIT:

You know? I really shouldn't be allowed to post in the evening when this excited by new coins, I forget to say what I really mean to. What I should have said before is: *THANK YOU* for these pictures! This is the most comprehensive set of coins I've seen, including the ones showing up on ebay already!

The square ones at the top (with the multi colored canoes) are the Minnesota Geocaching Association's coin design for this year. And yes the pins were trading sets, all in all a great event the group put together!

You are welcome and I'll get some better pics later if someone else doesn't first.

 

About the butterfly, its hiding right now, but I was digging through cache kitty's traders and just picked the first butterfly that wasn't pink heh. So its a non-pink earth toned one with copper plating. Not sure if its new or not, so sorry! Someone else might know better on this one.

 

Robert, those are the pins from this year. Get 4 of 1, trade for rest. And thanks for donating all those coins. Anne reminded me to split them...after I gave out all but 2. I gave them to all the bikers I ran into...the orange went first (harley colors) and a few kids that couldn't afford any coins. There were a LOT of bikers there this year.

Thanks for sharing them. It sounds like the same way I would have passed them out. Now I need to dig out one of my pin sets from last year and see if I can find anyone who will trade me a complete set.

What a fun weekend! I was able to do a little trading and shopping.

sweet haul.... I'm not sure what the micro coin is in the center next to the rootbeer keg, but I'd gladly take that hedge hopper coin in the upper right corner next to the wooden nickle off your hands! ;) kudos... looks like I missed a great event... *sigh*

Hear are the coins I got this weekend. Nice to see everyone. Sorry to have missed those who couldn't make it.

What are the little ones with the holes in the middle?

They are a copy of a subway token that Jackalgirl made. Non-trackable but very cute. I know a cache she drop one in if you want to try and get it :).

And the bottom left corner? Looks like a two-inch coin I dont know.

The small round one is as Mike said a non-trackable from JackalGirl

 

The lower left one is not a 2" coin (more like 1.75) from Direct Mint and it is in a plastic case. I don't know much about it. I got it in a grab bag.

WOW, There were some GREAT looking coins this year. What are the three in the lower middle? They look like 3d with color too?? Right below the Podcacher line.

 

I believe they are year of the tigger.

Thanks to all who posted pictures. They are wonderful. I, like most who weren't able to attend, are quite envious of your haul. But, there's next year and I hope next year won't be as busy as this year was!
