As for coins, I think it would be too hard to differentiate between them since they don't have a unique serial number. __________________ WINS# 801 **2nd Annual CT Fund: Official Thread!** (From March 1st-March 27th 2010)   10-20-2009, 10:21 PM   #3 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: this is a HOT topic meant for the PM forum lol most coin addicts wont know about the WG thing. Most of the PM collectors on this forum have very 'differnet' views of the WG.

If I go on vacation from the East Coast to Honolulu and leave a WG there It seems like a, oh, my WG got to Hawaii.   10-23-2009, 11:59 AM   #8 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,770 Quote: Originally Posted by NMBSURFER1 I fail to see the point in a Where's George. If I go on vacation from the East Coast to Honolulu and leave a WG there It seems like a, oh, my WG got to Hawaii. exactly, that is the point. But, if you mark it, you say where you spent it, not where you marked it. So someone else would have to take it there. so, you spend it and someone takes it to Hawaii, that would be neat. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"
