Mathman yesterday showed me his sterling silver geocoin that the Alaska geocaching association produces. What a cool coin!! I will have to look into it a bit more, but apparently they mint a very limited number of the state geocoins in sterling silver. They sell for about 50 bucks.

The coin is beautiful. Obviously, it is meant for collectors, not to travel.

Price would probably fluctuate quite a bit with the price of silver.

I am just curious if there is interest within the membership of purchasing sterling silver copies of our next geocoin, if that were to be made available, and assuming our next design is great, which I am sure it will be?

Here is a link to the Alaska Coin page…
ALASKA COINS

Note: The Alaska Mint in Anchorage does this for the Geocaching group and they make a profit off of the coins. What the true cost is would have to be looked at by contacting mint or another manufacturer. These coins are also PROOF quality. That gives them the frosty appearance.

I like that one!

I probably should have said “group project” coin. Something like the 2008 cheezehead parrot that was done for MWGB. One design with custom colors, engraving or printing for individual cachers.

Great idea Black Cat. With ideas like that, you should run for the BOD!

Appleton is another story! Where do they rank on the list?

You should be VERY afraid! 8)

Maybe that is why I am afraid of Appleton…

Because I know Marc is lurking nearby!

Thank you for all of the kind replies about our milestone cache # 2000. It certainly has been a lot of fun along the way and this “Eagle Source” was memorable.

Something on the order of the 2007 coin would be fantastic. It represented Wisconsin well and was a great looking coin too.

Thanks all. It’s been a fun year exploring some remote places and solving some gnarly puzzles. For us the fun of the game is finding things that haven’t seen the light of day for a while, in some cases for over two years, and to work on “clearing the map.” The adventure meant more than any score–although I will admit it is fun to rack up numbers and there were times I wouldn’t have minded having the extra “minor maintenance” points of the 2008 season.

It will be interesting to see how many of the single-season marks set in 2009 get smashed in 2010, and by whom. With unfound lonelies getting farther and farther from our home base–something Dave and Alex can surely appreciate as well–and with our personal penchant for logging no revisit points, I’m pretty sure that we are one-year wonders.

So………………….who’s next? 😀

Congratulations! That is quite an achievement.

Remember caching is all about having fun, and you seem to be having your share.
