+ThirstyMick Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) So in the past few weeks I've been selling a lot of my older (2006-07 mostly) coins on the much loved/hated/drama-inducing e-place. No crisis to pay for, I just lost interest awhile ago and they've been collecting dust in my closet. It feels good sending them off to new homes, if a little sad. ..and I know I just faded away. Everything is great with me though, I just lost interest. I do miss this community though, I've met a lot of really really wonderful people in this forum! But anyway, the point of this thread is, there's one coin I'm really not sure what to do about. It's a "Breath of Life - Fighting Cystic Fibrosis" coin from 2007. It seems to somehow have been issued a duplicate tracking number, as it's number has already been activated. The owner of the other coin uses it to dip in and out of caches (and so very clearly still has it in her possession - I did NOT steal a traveler!). I think I recall CastleMan is no longer making coins, and it's probably well well past the point of bothering him about it anyway... So, if there's anybody who wants it for their collection with the understanding the tracking number is useless.... It'll be in the mail monday to the first person who emails me their address through my profile! It's free, I'm just looking to move it to a home where it'll be appreciated This is the original thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=161300 The one in question is two-tone gold on top of antique silver (I'd ask if you're outside of the US to please cover shipping though, w/in the US don't worry about shipping it'd only be $2) hmm... and I'm in a good mood (but not a complicated cointest mood ), first five to reply to this post can have a free copy of my personal coin too. Please reply to the thread so others can see when five have been claimed and then email me your address through my profile! Specify Antique Silver or Antique Copper.

+Bartians Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Happy to see this thread today. Too bad your getting out of coining. I have to say I'm most interested in your copper version. Edited September 6, 2014 by Bartians Quote Link to comment
+Toojin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Hello, happy to see you! Oh and I don't count as a post for a coin. We traded personals long long ago. Edited September 6, 2014 by Toojin Quote Link to comment

+ThirstyMick Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Two left and no ones claimed the CF coin! I don't blame you though, I'm not sure what to do with it myself. Maybe scratch off the number and leave it in a cache? Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 What a great thing your doing:) Thank you!! You're welcome I haven't been around the forums in awhile, but people used to do cointests all the time! Don't know if that's still common. Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Do you still have a personal left? I'd be interested in one also. I think the copper is cool but any is fine. I'd scratch off the number of that coin and drop it somewhere. I've had that happen I think with 4 different coins. Quote Link to comment

+nevadanick Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Always sad to see someone lose interest. With past members leaving, it is also a loss to the those of us who remain. We count so often on the knowledge and friendship of those who were here for many years before us. Even though you have lost interest in regular visits, consider passing through from time to time to give an update and say 'HI' ... Quote Link to comment

I agree with nevadanick.... the beginnings of geocoins, some obscure tokens as all this was forming, personal sig items some as rare as hounds teeth all still surfacing from time to time. I have always relied on those who went before us for the connection and the meaning of these early coins. Do stop in, say hi..... there is some encyclopedic knowledge not to be found elsewhere and a huge base of new collectors that would benefit. Edited September 14, 2014 by JoenSue Quote Link to comment

I LOVE my baby loggerhead. Coins from challenges and generous mystery coiners. Most of what I saved are the handmade tokens from other cachers and friends. The community here is the best part of coining Quote Link to comment
