+ECplus3 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine: These are the nucleobases, or just plain bases of DNA that in pairs called nucleotides carry the genetic code of life. There are four of them, right? Not so fast! There is a fifth base! One that I like to call GEOCACHINE. If present, traits such as perseverance, puzzle solving, curiosity, obstinacy, and a predilection for technological devices are usually dominant. These may manifest as a desire to examine surroundings in minute detail (moving rocks and logs; lifting lampskirts; poking into hedgerows), a sudden urge to plunge through thickets and thorns without regard to personal comfort (or thought of searching for a nearby path), and a desire to surround oneself with GPS enabled devices at all times. In short, Geocaching is in our Genes! Coin stats: dimensions: 45mm x 43.5mm thickness: 3mm features: translucent enamel; multilevel design icon: yes tracking: geocaching.com finishes: satin silver, satin gold, black nickel, antique nickel Samples are currently being made and will be ready mid- to late-September.

+Murazor Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Ups!I could be offline in late September... Could I reserve such a coin earlier? It looks cool! Quote
+yanagi Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Love that Geocachine though in mine there is also a DNF-appendix And the coin looks good too, curious to see samples. Edited August 22, 2012 by yanagi Quote
+Dr.MORO Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Domo!!! Wonderful design! GEOCACHINE?! Awesome! As a Mad MAD Scientist creating mutants EVERY day (Muhahaha!), I'd love to add this one to my collection! Can I have a peek at the unique icon it will have? I guess I just need to 'Watch' this forum, and wait for the Geocoin to go on sale. Can't wait! Thanks for all the effort! ~ Dr.MORO Quote
+TheDoubleHelix Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I would love to have one of these coins when available. Can I get on a list to be notified when it is ready? TheDoubleHelix Quote

+imoutnabout Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I love this coin! Unfortunately I won't be able to purchase any coins any time soon. Could someone please, please, please look at my trading list and if there's something you like, pick up a red/gold or purple/silver one for me??? Quote
+nevadanick Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Got what we wanted. Thank you PHD !! Quote

Could someone please, please, please look at my trading list and if there's something you like, pick up a red/gold or purple/silver one for me??? I always order extra, so when these come in they will appear in the store again. Should be early December. Edited November 2, 2012 by E&Cplus3 Quote
+Bartians Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Couldn't decide which one I liked the best. Just ordered the whole set. Everyone of them looks like a winner! 😄 Quote
+Dr.MORO Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Domo again!!! Just ordered mine. Can't wait to add it to my collection. Thanks E&Cplus3! ~ Dr.MORO Quote
nickelcitylove Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Ordered one for me and one for imoutnabout Quote
+ECplus3 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 Wow! Thanks for the response everyone! This coin is just over 50 coins away from being my first 1000 coin seller! (and since I'm ordering extra, it really is already there!) This one will be getting its own custom prefix: 'GE' Quote
+mamoreb Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Ah, I knew that there was something I had forgotten to do. Order placed! Congratulations on the success, it's a really cool design. Quote
Starship1 Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Coins look great, just ordered the set. Wahoo. Quote
+Murazor Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Wow! Thanks for the response everyone! This coin is just over 50 coins away from being my first 1000 coin seller! (and since I'm ordering extra, it really is already there!) Could you inform us how many of each version are to be produced when you place the order? Quote
+ice13-333 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Saw the LE a few minutes ago, i like this version, too. Funny that the middle is not the same like used by the others... Quote
+kalamawi Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Recieved the Groundspeak-Edition 2 weeks ago,... It's a very beautiful Coin! But why does it only haf a generic Icon!? As beeing a Limited Groundspeak-Edition I would have expected a unique Icon (maybe diffrent from "normal" Edition) but i'd never had expected to just get a "Personal Coin" Icon... Link to Coin Quote

As beeing a Limited Groundspeak-Edition I would have expected a unique Icon (maybe diffrent from "normal" Edition) but i'd never had expected to just get a "Personal Coin" Icon... Link to Coin Its probably because the unique icon has not been loaded into the system yet. It will display the generic until then. Quote

Link to Coin Its probably because the unique icon has not been loaded into the system yet. It will display the generic until then. That is indeed the case. The icons were submitted when the codes were first ordered. I'll email Groundspeak to get this taken care of. It should be fixed by Wednesday. Quote
+ECplus3 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Are these sold out? I'll be getting my order around the middle of next week. I'll make an announcement here when the coins are back in the store. Quote

+ECplus3 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 The DNA coins are back in the store, with a couple of new LE editions. Mutant LE Satin Gold Mutant LE Satin Silver Quote
+nevadanick Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 E-mail question about delivery of 5 coin set and the 2 mutants has been sent today. Only posted here since someone also posted this week in another thread that your e-mail had some difficulty in receiving theirs. I used the Groundspeak profile e-mail addy. Quote
+Bartians Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 I love the look of these coins. Ordered the set originally. Should be arriving soon. Also ordered the LE Groundspeak edition when it came out. Are the 2 new "Mutant" LE coins a limited minting? How many? Quote

Also ordered the LE Groundspeak edition when it came out. Are the 2 new "Mutant" LE coins a limited minting? How many? HMmmm ... "LE" usually means 'LIMITED' edition ... But the way LE's are surfacing (not necessarily these) ... 'limited' doesn't mean what it used to mean ... Better question might be ... 'How many are those editions 'limited' to' ... Quote
