About This Item

AMTG John Harrison Copper GC 1

Large coin with lots of heft. Front has a combination of different types of 3-D work. The work on Harrison is fine and detailed. The rim work is bold and says "1693-1776 Inventor of the marine chronometer". The reverse show a chronometer and says "the H1 chronometer invented to determine longitude at sea". This coin tends to not photograph well and seems to sell at lower costs on Ebay due to this problem. The coin is a higher priced design and execution than what it tends to sell for at auction. Available in other metal colors. Only 500 bronze minted. Excellent coin. ---------------------------------------------------So many of my trackables have been muggled that I only release new GCs as virtuals. If you do not approve, please leave it in the cache for a cacher who understands. Thanks. IL

Thanks to the 2023 Christmas Day blizzard my daughter, JMVonFange, was delayed in heading home so we spent the bonus time together comparing our caching statistics including trackables discovered and looking through our geocaching pictures. JM has discovered significantly more trackables that I have mainly because while we were staying home during the pandemic she spent time online and spotted numerous TBs that were being shared virtually on various social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. Thankfully, she still had a few notes that helped guide my search for the same trackables that she had already discovered. After looking at the TB page for each of the TBs that she had discovered, I found that a large number all belonged to several individuals and sent a message to them individually inquiring about permission to log their trackables. This travel bug was on the list that you shared with me.
