+GATOULIS Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 as I probably posted before... I am not writing about any mystery coins because all are my favorites ok? All are unique and lovely and I will always thank the mystery senders for honoring me with these coins.... so... back to the game.... a favorite coin that I adore is the geowoodstock VI geocoin! I love the way the picture is changing... I think this is the only coin so far with that.... right?
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 200th reply! (201st post! I'm in love with the back of the Davy Jones Locker Geocoin!!
+LewisClan77 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Yes. This is a favorite of mine too. I pulled it out of the blind coin trade at GW6 and as soon as I looked at it I liked it. I am always pretty beat up from caching. I prefer to do hikes through the stickers in my flip flops because I don't want to pick them out of my shoes. Edited March 23, 2011 by LewisClan77
+Scarlett_Ohara Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Sigh... another favorite that I have yet to get.
+Scarlett_Ohara Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 i think i have this coin depending on the year ill go double check but that looks exactly like my coin u can email me if u really want it. butterflys on the other side?
+Scarlett_Ohara Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Sigh... another favorite that I have yet to get.
+Scarlett_Ohara Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 yes deffinitly my coin i came upon just because i like butterflys. unactivated wiling to trade

+goosefraba1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I have always been fascinated by space I haven't seen anything like this... how's about a comet geocoin that isn't too cartoon-ish looking. That would be freakin' awesome... or maybe a black hole.... or a worm hole. Need to get gregsonvaux workin' on something like that. I know he is always into the science type coins (though already quite busy at the moment).
+aka Momster Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Chelmo's NZ Silver Fern geocoins!! I love this contest and being able to see photographs of some great coins that are new to me. What a beautifully designed coin, keewee. Hope one just like that makes it into my collection someday.
+dufzor Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 1. Your favorite geocoin (with picture if you can!!) I keep trying to get this for my collection but no luck yet.
+anne.and.eli Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Man you guys are posting things I've never seen before! Really enjoying reading your responses. One more day left!
+Mar-elendili Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 It is still extremely hard to pick one favourite... I guess I'll take the Tengwar coin. So intricate, so pretty!
+mamoreb Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 It isn't an overly complex coin, but it's the first one I found, and I love trains (particularly the steamy ones): The Travel Express geocoin! I'll do two in one post: I hope someone will make a geocoin with a steam train engine with lots of personality (cartoonish)!
+GATOULIS Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Other favoriete coins which I have and I will always thank Ambrosia for that, are the Lackeys 2007 and the volunteer 2005 and 2008! they are rare and fantastic coins!!! I am so honored to have them! these coins are not common! you cann ot buy them etc.. so... they are very very special!!!
+Fianccetto Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 If I have a theme, it is what I like! Certain types of design (often reflecting beauty found in nature) and colours appeal to me, and I like hard enamels. I also like coins with something to say - a piece of history, someone famous, something new to find out about.
+redwingrr Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 There are just so many great coins - Thank you to everyone posting pics! Another favorite - Tadpole379. On the back it says: Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir~ dorkfish's Albino Lobster is another coin I just love. It's so fun and that's why I initially wanted it. But once I had it in hand I was taken by the beauty of it too.
+mamoreb Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Another favourite is Edeltraud the sheep! I like the attitude of these sheep, and the creativeness in adding fur to the LEs.
+LewisClan77 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I spotted this one while looking for something different...
+goosefraba1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) This one cracks me up The back I love the eyes Edited March 23, 2011 by goosefraba1
+LewisClan77 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 This one cracks me up The back I love the eyes I tried to get one of these on the eplace last week. You gotta love it.
+LadyBee4T Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Looking through my coins again I realized I have another theme--animals. I have several pages in a notebook devoted to them. Most of them are dog coins (I wonder why? LOL)
+GATOULIS Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 an other favoriete coin is The Earth delorme geocoin!!! no, I do not have it but it looks so prety!! I think it is spinning right?
CW88 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Missed out on most of this cointest. One of my favourite coins is the Blue 2008 Earth Turtle, which I finally managed to get the other week.
+fuzziebear3 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Some idea that I would like to see -- This is based on a comment in the quit lurking thread -- How about a lego coin? Each one could be like a thin lego piece, with the little attachment dots raised up, and they could connect together. So they would have to be 3D on both sides. With edge tracking and an icon, of course.
+Fianccetto Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I love micro coins, and intricate detail. The flags, the little flowers, the small compass coins are great. It would be good to see some more of these collections, perhaps some shaped ones (breeds of horses/sheep/dogs perhaps, or types of tree. I'm not sure what has already been done as there are so many, but a series of games would be fun (Tangrams, tic-tac-toe, etc).
+mamoreb Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 One more favourite coin, though I think it hasn't yet been seen its final form: Dwarven treasure! I enjoyed the colouring cointest a lot, and the design had me imagine many stories about those dwarves. They're alive!
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I love the Compass Catcher, can't find a good picture of one to post though !
+GATOULIS Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I do not know this coin Dwarven treasure Marie!! It looks great!!! WOW!!! Anyway... 2 of my other favorite coins are the geoquitar coins, and the firefly's Pepper memorial coin!!! I have 2 geoquitars nd I love them! In the pepper's memorial coin I have an adopted traveller! I hope I will see it one day coming in Rhodes.... I love tis coin because of the lovely photos pf Pepper and because it really shows the love firefly had for this amazing cat!
+farrtom Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 It isn't an overly complex coin, but it's the first one I found, and I love trains (particularly the steamy ones): The Travel Express geocoin! I'll do two in one post: I hope someone will make a geocoin with a steam train engine with lots of personality (cartoonish)! Here is the first version of a steam train engine coin I am working on right now.
+GATOULIS Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Ok.... this will probably be my last post here... In greece it is 24 of March already... so... I have some coins in 2 lists... my favorite list and my wish list... so... One is the Walpurgis 2008 coin! I love the glow moon and the witch... Then is one of the sand dollars.... I love the simple and prety design they have! the Alaska 2005 coin... I was so close to one, once but... and at last... the amazing UFO geocoin of Team Kizb! It looks so nice!!! I have to go to bed now! Good luck to all, congrats to the winners and A huge thank you for the cointest to Anne! Oups... I posted about 5-7 minutes earlier! I am sorry!! Edited March 23, 2011 by GATOULIS
+LadyBee4T Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I tend to like cartoony type coins. When I first saw this one it made me laugh. Oh so true!
+kini_ont Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Well as a last entry for the coin I most like/love and wished some one to make and certainly a collection theme (for me) is my new KINI coin. I think that if one takes the time and puts their soul into making a coin, it will always remain as a very special time for you. So my advise is to never give up those dreams (and etchings)and some day it will get made
+EyeD10T Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 The first one I bought and my first traveler, The Steampunk Geocoin
+EyeD10T Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Oh and thanks for the fun cointest - I sure have enjoyed seeing so many coins...many of which I have never seen before
familyhoward Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 We haven't started collecting yet! BUT... my 8 year old is so excited to get started! We are going to be a homeschooling family and we are hoping to tie in nature and science and local history with geocaching. I am THRILLED that I saw all this information about geocoins because my son is a COLLECTOR! He tries to get all the cub scout patches he can and this will be a huge motivator for him to start a new collection of geocoins!!!
+goosefraba1 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Received a Bell Witch coin two weeks ago... I really like it as well. Have to add... it is hailing here right now... can't remember ever seeing a hail storm before... very cool! Edited March 24, 2011 by goosefraba1
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I haven't a clue if this would be past the deadline as it's 12:30am here. If it is just disregard. I am goin back to the Team Pez geocoin. I think it is the best thing ever!
+anne.and.eli Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Okay, the cointest is now over! All posts before this one will be considered. I'm gonna go hit random.com and find a winner!
eseurat Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I haven't a clue if this would be past the deadline as it's 12:30am here. If it is just disregard. I am goin back to the Team Pez geocoin. I think it is the best thing ever! I love pez too. I've been collecting since I was a kid and got hundreds...such a fanatic. My favorites that I own are the Canadian Smurf series. Dont own that coin yet, but hopefully someday. It such a cool coin.
+anne.and.eli Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks everyone for all your entries! I've really enjoyed reading all your suggestions and seeing your favorite coins. Now for the important part. The winner is... redwingrr, post #173! I'll send you a message in a second to get your info. Thanks again everyone! Elements Compass is one of my favorites too.
