+GaryM53 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Is there a Geocoin magazine like the one that tracks sports cards? Or even one that shows the new coins being produced or designed? Shows the active venders? I have a few Geocoins in my collection but miss out on some of the LE and XLE editions. Thanks GaryM53 Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 There's not. Besides a price guide would drastically change day to day. Quote Link to comment
+GaryM53 Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 There's not. Besides a price guide would drastically change day to day. The Beckett magazine shows the highest one may need to pay and also who produced the cards. This would be helpful when we are traying to find activation #s. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Groundspeak is, if I understand correctly and things haven't changed, going to be moving to hosting all activation codes on geocaching.com (or perhaps another dedicated site). So having to know who made the coin so that you can get its activation code is going to be a moot thing soon. Quote Link to comment

I have had a terrible time getting activation codes for some coins and there are still two that I have been unable to activate. Several times, Groundspeak had to bail me out. There was one coin in particular that required a team of experts. Gregson Quote Link to comment
+Bhob Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 interest in this kind of information comes up from time to time but getting anywhere on collecting all of the information is probably impossible there are some (maybe many) originators of geocoins (and other trackable items) who do not wish to reveal production numbers there are several trackable sources that have gone on to other things, and have no interest in or recollection of numbers of items produced even getting a list of all of the finishes (and/or color combinations) a particular geocoin was made in (never mind how many) has proved to be somewhere between very difficult and well nigh impossible for many items add to that the possibility of re-mints (in the same or a new finish and/or color combination), and just keeping current on items produced in the past is a significant challenge the most that GC.com is likely to be able to do is say how many tracking codes were issued for a particular item name but I do not believe that they have any way of knowing how many of the codes were actually used, and what the details of the variants might be - and even if GC.com has this information readily available, I suspect that they would respect the privacy of whoever bought the codes, and not release the information Quote Link to comment
