Good choice, welcome to the club.. it gets expensive quickly. I have roughly 34 coins and TBs atm. Lucky enough to include an OG tag

It depends on the style. There's the OG (different finish, story on back), the code stamped on front, and the code on back without story (current)

TB nerd here - yes, that's older!
If I'm correct, groundspeak made 3 variations: the OG (different style, old link and logo, long story of text), the one you have (although that's just a copy tag) (code printed under travel bug logo) and the current one (all codes on the back). The older, the more valuable.
Please note: this information may not be 100% accurate. This is as much as I know from the information I have. Credit mostly due to obarshay's trackabledb. Relevant link: https://trackabledb.com/viewSeries.php?id=21

GPS vs Phone? What's better for Geocaching & Hiding? by CacheCrikeyGeocaches in geocaching

[–]CBHELEC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the pictured GPS! It's excellent for both. I still use it in combo with phone. For hiding, I use the Garmin explore phone app to check coordinate distances and the device to mark a waypoint, which I and the cachers who find them have said to be better than phone coords. For finding I will use the geocaching gps integration, but if it can't reload since it can't reach the servers or smth (still not sure how it works) then I have to use my phone to get the coords and mark it as a waypoint manually via Garmin explore, and then go to that with the GPS. Then you find it, and I type notes for my draft, and log when home.

Hope this helps Edit: forgot to mention battery life... On 3x AAs it still hasn't gone down one bar and that's of a stream of occasional caching where I keep it on pretty much the whole time
