AMTG Virtual Tools Of The Trade Polished Gold

Share with other cachers. Only 30 of these gold LE's were made. Two of them came with one tracking code to be able release one to the wild and keep one in the collection.

Mid size coin with heft. 1.6 inches 3.5 mm thick gold.  Available in other metal colors.  This edition had 30 coins minted.  Unusual shape in that it has 4 pass-throughs, two large and two small. Only 30 of these gold LE's were made. Two of them came with one tracking code to be able release one to the wild and keep one in the collection. The front medallion is done in dark purple and green enamel and is in the design of a back pack.  The top has a commercial "G" and the bottom has a zipper and script that reds "2006".  The rim is done in translucent orang enamel.  It has script that reads "Tools of the trade" and "geoswag.com coins and pin club".  The reverse has no enamel but excellent metal texture. It shows a GPS, compass, tweezers, and a flashlight.all "inside" the geocaching pack. I have seen this design on Ebay but some of them are NOT TRACKABLE. Take care to be sure it is one of the trckable versions. 2006. Excellent design and workmanship.

Info on the coin: The August coin of the GC&P club was also created with the participation of gridlox, who probably developed into one of the club designers. 600 polished nickel geocoins in a size of 42 x 4 mm were minted, and there was also a LE30 in copper. As a surprise there was an additional second identical coin with the same tracking code. The only distinguishing feature was the engraving "COPY · Please move this coin from cache to cache" on the edge. The purpose of this action by the club was that one of the coins was intended for collection and the other could be placed in caches to travel.

So many of my GCs have been muggled that I only release new GCs as virtuals. If you do not approve of this practice, please leave it in the cache for a cacher who understands. Thanks. GR
