2007 Official Delaware State Geocoins

During the srpint of 2007 Delaware Geocaching hosted the Caching Around the Colonial Hundreds Event (C.A.C.H.E.). The event featured 24 geocaches hidden (one each) in the 24 hundreds that existed during Colonial Times. The event culminated in a second event where all those who found all 24 these caches were rewarded with a special geocoin designed by Delaware Geocacher Dinobalz. Additional versions of this coin were minted and Delaware Geocaching has adopted it as the Official 2007 Delaware State Geocoin.

Shown below are the three styles minted.

The Prize Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.)

This polished nickle and antique brass version of the coin is the prize edition. Copies of this coin were presented to geocachers who found all 24 of the event geocaches. Less then 200 of these were minted.

While this version is not for sale a few of them will be auctioned.

Watch for details.

The Standard Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.)

The antigue gold version of the coin is the standard edition. Only 500 of these were minted and it is the one and only Official 2007 Delaware State Geocoin. We expect these coins to go fast.This coin will make any collection shine.

This coin is trackable on Geocaching.com.

This coin sells for $9.00. Shipping and handling within the United States is extra.

The Collectors Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.

The Black version of the coin is primarily for Delaware Geocaching use. Only 50 of them were minted.

This coin is not for sale. Instead Delaware Geocaching will use them for very special club prizes. One or more may also be raffeled at events.

These three versions are the one and only Official 2007 Delaware State Geocoins. All of these coins are trackable on Geocaching.com.

Delaware Geocaching did not mint an Official Delaware State Geocoin in the year 2006.

2005 Official Delaware State Geocoins
Thanks to Jeff Lundstrom and Mike Ott there were three official Delaware Geocoins for 2005.
Note: These coins are sold out - no more are available from Delaware Geocaching.

The Limited Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.)

This was a Limited Edition coin for the hardcore collector. Only 300 of these coins were minted. This coin was made to be trackable on Geocaching.com.

This coin sold for $12.00. Sales were limited t0 1 per customer/shipping address.

Note: We knew this coin was expensive, but we used the proceeds for a "Grand Experiment". All the proceeds from the sale of this coin went toward our effort to put geocoins back where they belong, in the caches! We bought regular edition coins which we activated under our "Delaware Geocaching"account. These regular editon coins were placed in caches all around the world thereby giving the average cacher a better opportunity to actually find a state coin, log it and place it in another cache. We're happy to report that this experiment was successful.

The Regular Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.)

This coin was designed to make any collection shine. A must for the collector interested in state coins as this was the one and only Official 2005 Delaware State Geocoin. This coin was trackable on Geocaching.com.

When purchased from Delaware Geocaching this coin sold for $8.00 with all shipping and handling within the United States included in the price of the coin.

NOTE: This coin was pretty much priced at cost. Money earned from sales of this version of the coin went go directly to finance Delaware Geocaching club activities.

The Ugly Edition
(Place Cursor on the Image to see the other side of the coin.)

This version of the coin was part of our grand experiment. It was NOT for sale by Delaware Geocaching. We purchased a quanity of these coins and activated them under our Delaware Geocaching club account. In that was we intended for them to have no trade value. We expected them to be used exclusively as travel coins.

We made ugly so they would have a better chance of not getting swiped. Since production of these coins was cheaper than their pretty cousins, so were able to get more. We also hope that by flooding the system with these ugly edition coins the regular edition coins would retain their value as a collectors item.

It should be noted that we also released about 60 of the regular edition coins (also activated by Delaware Geocaching) around the world.
