Hi, we are new at this but found a TB from Georgia with a coin and tag.
Wondering if WI has a coin and how do we get one? Having loads of fun. Our numbers are low yet just started this summer.[/b]

I’m not 100% sure, more like 99% sure that the wisconsin geocoins have all sold out. f you watch e-bay, you may see one pop up now and then.

If you are interested, I have an extra that I’d be willing to part with. E-mail me privately at old-and-decrepit @ wi.rr.com (remove spaces)

Is there a reason why more can’t be made? I would imagine that would make them less likely to be picked up by collectors :evil:.

I have found 2 Kansas sunshine coins but none from any other states yet.

I know I would like to see another WGA ‘state’ coin.
I know Alabama just started taking orders for 1000 coins (800 regular, 200 LE)
I think there is probably enough demand for another one being made. Probably wont be able to get a 2006, unless there is already one in the works.

Making an LE and only 800 of other still makes them collectable defeating the original post of making more so they are not so valuable to steal.

I still see coins that Crake (not sure I got that right) who makes good coins still trying to unload coins that he had made. I’m not against another coin just making sure issues are thought about.

Lets see how well Alabama does.

I’d buy several if new ones were minted for Wisconsin.

We definately need to have another coin… but since this is the badger state, it should have a badger on it. 😀

We could use becky’s badger design. 😀

I was thinking one of a more realistic design similar to the detail that was used in the deer. 😀

Or… a hedgehog would be nice too! 😆 After all, we gotta help out the quilled ones, don’t we?

I’m thinking a beer on the front and cheese and sausage on the back. (Maybe we can commission Becky to draw those as well!)

Whatever the coin is, it should be something special, to reflect how special Wisconsin is. This is a great state we live in, and I’d like everyone in the geocaching community to visualize it when they see our coin. It needs to be as unique and diverse as the state. It should be something every other state would envy.
