[QUOTE="Blackavar, post: 936361, member: 26429"]I don't want it sealed because quite frankly I don't want to spend the money. I don't know the cost but I have been told it is a little pricey. Here is what I am doing...might as well tell ya. I am a law enforcement officer on the west coast. My department has issued challenge coins for a few years now. They have just decided to release a challenge coin for each member of the department who has been killed in the line of duty. Each coin will have the likeness of the deputy on them. I am also a geocacher. I want to release each coin as a trackable at the location they were killed. The goal of the coin will be to travel from the origin cache to the national law enforcement memorial in Washington DC. Each coin has to have a trackable tag (or travel bug) attached to it. This is a travel bug. It is essentially a dog tag with a chain. [img]http://3geeks.ca/catalog/images/travelbug_large.jpg[/img] Now, up until I saw the coin slabs I could only conceive of attaching the travel bugs via a cable and drilled hole. I also want something that will moderately protect the coins. I suppose sealing them will be better in the long run but I have to do nine of these and the cost just seems to be getting higher.[/QUOTE]
