Personal Geocoins Almost Here!!

On October 28, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Today we received confirmation from Landsharkz that most of our personal geocoins are on the way. I say "most" because the mint forgot to paint one side of one version of the coin, so we'll be short 60 coins until that particular version is re-minted.   Even so, I expect 340 coins will take a long …

Personal Geocoin Update

On June 22, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Well, our design is finalized, the technical issues have been addressed and we finally have a quote re: the cost. Now we're waiting to see the artwork from the mint.

About a month ago I spotted a new thread in the Geocoin Discussions thread on the Groundspeak Forums. Since I just started trading geocoins in January, my curiousity was piqued by the thread title: 3rd International Math Trade starting now!   Unlike a typical geocoin trade, when you negotiate one-on-one with the other party to the …

Personal Geocoin Progress

On April 26, 2008January 9, 2016 By GeoKsIn GeocachingLeave a comment

Old Man Winter seems especially reluctant to leave Calgary this year, so we've enjoyed his company (and fresh snow fall) every day for the past week (until today). With so much white stuff providing extra camo/cover for geocaches, we haven't been out collecting many "found its" lately. Mr. GeoK did make it to GC1B3KP "Pizza and Beer" on …
