Steve Moran wants me to call him. Apparently there are several people complaining that we didn't make enough and we didn't make them available to the public until a week after the event. I think they are pissed off because they didn't get one! I think he will want to convince me to mint more. The new Director for MOGA has suggested some things that we might go with that if we can do it. I will let him disclose the details when we have approval from Hogwild. This will keep the coin unique and still allow more to purchase a "common coin".

I don't feel it cheapens the value either not when you sell 200 of them in ten minutes. --- On Sun, 4/12/09, Steve Bromley <bromley@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: Steve Bromley <bromley@xxxxxxx> Subject: [GeoStL] Re: [geocache] Re: Pre-sale of MOGA 2009 Geocoin To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sunday, April 12, 2009, 8:09 PM I agree and personally, I don’t care if the coin goes for $50.00 on EBay or if it goes for $15.00. The people selling them are out to make money for themselves and that money doesn’t benefit MOGA, and this money does directly. Personally, I’d have minted as many of them as we could have sold and not limited them to 200. But then again, that’s me.
