Why Passwords? From time to time we or people we sell for will want to reserve the purchase of a coin for only certain people. We do this by password protecting the item for a period of time. This enables the owner, seller, or us to provide early access to a sale for members only, VIPs, reservation lists, etc. When an item is password protected, it typically states on the item's page when the password will be removed. We do not supply passwords by request, you must have received the password through a direct notice to participate in a password protected sale.

October 2024 - Coimetromania Caches

Design notes from the artist:  Chris Mackey

For this October, we have a cool but creepy tribute to cemetery caches.  Early in the very first weeks of my caching life, I was surprised to find that there were so many caches cleverly hidden in and around area cemeteries.  I was equally excited to see that not only were these a thing, but that so many people both enjoyed hunting them and enjoyed taking extra time looking at the gravestones, reading the epitaphs, and just relaxing in well-kept memorials.  I've always enjoyed exploring cemeteries, photographing or capturing rubbings of some of the most unusual stones and monuments, or even just enjoying a stroll or even a picnic.  It wasn't until just a couple years ago that I realized there's actually a word for cachers like myself describing a fascination with these parks... Coimetromania.  

I've enjoyed participating in my community's restoration projects of local cemeteries and was surprised at how many other cachers showed up unexpectedly to lend a hand.  The markers telling the stories of incredible lives keep them fresh in our memories and lend an appreciation for how fast time flies.  It's a reminder to make the most out of your time and get out there to go find a cache, take some pictures, make some memories and gather some incredible stories of your own.  Maybe visit a cemetery and find a cleverly hidden cache.  And if it happens to be on Halloween and you have to wrestle a zombie to sign the cache... well, that'll make a great story, too
