Darkavich's Daily Ramblings

Geocachers from Team Qualcomm are participating in the 2008 BikeMS Land Rover Miramar Bay to Bay Tour.

This year we decided to produce a geocoin as a fundraiser. We have commissioned a coin from Landsharkz. They have done a wonderful job capturing our concept and producing this coin. We are really excited with the finished product.

The coin is 42mm diameter and 3.0mm thickness. The edge of the coin is engraved with “Trackable at Geocaching.com”. The word SHARKZ will be replaced with the tracking number.

We are minting the coin with two finishes. They will be polished gold and polished nickel. There will only be 250 coins made this year. If we are successful in selling all the coins, we plan to commission a coin for next  year as well. Here are the pictures of the proofs.

The cost of the coin is $9.50 plus shipping. Shipping costs are estimated  (more exact prices once we have the finished product) at $4.50 for the first two coins and $.75 for each additional coin in the same shipment. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the National MS Society.

Our Team web site can be found at http://www.pedalforthecure.org. and if you want to donate directly to our bike team, you can do so at: http://biketofinishms.com/darkavich If you are interested in purchasing a coin or two, please send me email.
