Reader Request: Anyone Got A Spare Ultima 8 Trinket?
Kyle writes:
I’m wondering if you know if there is an accepted circle wherein Ultima items are sold? I’m looking for the trinket that came with Ultima 8, had it as a child, it went missing somehow. I could resort to Ebay, but I figure some Ultima fan out there might have one they’re willing to part with for a fee.
I’ve lost or misplaced too many of my Ultima trinkets — including the Pagan coin from Ultima 8 — to be of assistance here. However, I know some of you have small collections of Ultima paraphernalia, and perhaps even redundant copies of said.
To that end, is there anyone who has a spare Ultima 8 coin they’d be willing to part with? As he notes above, he’s willing to throw some dollars your way for your generosity!
Is that the silver coin with a pentagram on both sides?
I believe so, yes.
I have one, but it is mine! >_> <_<
Seems unlikely that will show up in Ebay unless someone is selling the complete U8 package
I actually do have an extra coin I do not really need. Get in contact and we can set up a trade or something. I am actually looking for the Ultima V token, haha. If you had an extra and wanted to trade. If not, we can figure something else out. Thanks!
If it doesn’t work out with Ken, I’m pretty sure I have an extra one. I once had an Ultima 6 come with an extra U8 trinket from Ebay. Never figured that out.
I don’t have a spare token, but I’m surprised, nay shocked, to see that two people (two!) have extras laying around. I must be out of touch with something.

I lost my Ultima IV ankh. I wore it in high school with a white shoe string necklace that slowly wore down the metal. I then lent it to a friend (mistake). I may still have the Ultima V codex coin and the Ultima VI moonstone but have to look. At least one of them is probably gone. I can’t even remember what Ultima VII came with.
The good news is that as cool as those things are, the games are still with us if you’ve hooked up dosbox or the like.
Hi everyone,
It is I, Kyle(Wyrmfather Dragon, although I have never used that alias – it is registered!). Unfortunately I have nothing Ultima related to trade. But I would not have an issue paying a fee if that helps.
Thanks for the replies! And thanks to WtFDragon for posting this.
For some reason, every copy I have found of Ultima VIII has had the trinket. I think I have 3 boxed, one w/o box. Though every other game has no trinket, typical. I’d be fine with just a fee for shipping, don’t need any more for the actual trinket. It would not be much since the thing weighs practically nothing anyways. Where are you located? I did notice that the last post was at 251 PM on Nov 4. It is only 1130 AM Nov 4th where I am, haha.
Don’t use the post times as any kind of solid indicator; the site is set for…it might even be GMT, now that I think about it. I forget.
Ken,
I’m located in that northern region they call Canada. How do you want to get in contact? Email? I’m not sure if this site allows PM’s.
Assuming both of you have left legitimate email addresses when commenting…I’ll handle the introductions for you and send the both of you a quick “X, meet Y” note.
Unrelatedly: what part of Canada?
Kurse AT Shaw DOT Ca
Central Canada, Manitoba!
Ah, a pity.
Not because it’s Manitoba; quite the nice province, as I recall it.
But, alas, it’s two provinces away from me, so the opportunities for pints of beer and IRL camaraderie have become rather diminished.
Email is fine. Mine is legitimate, so all is well on that part. I live in Massachusetts, so easy enough to ship, ha. Thanks a bunch!
I sent you both an email. Hopefully it arrived and was not flagged as spam.
OOhhhh Ken, you’re lucky you didn’t crack a joke about Manitoba being the crime capital of Canada. Because it wouldn’t be a joke and I’d have to agree with you.
Two provinces to the East, or two to the west? Or two to the northwest, which would sort of mean Yukon.
I live in Edmonton. Or Deadmonton, if you prefer the nickname we locals give it due to the high (for Canada) murder rate.
Which is why I wouldn’t dare joke about Manitoba crime rates. Pots & kettles, man. Pots & kettles.
I’m headed out to the Lake Louise region in January for some Ice climbing/Winter Mountaineering. If you find yourself near Calgary at that time pints could be consumed.
I am not that familiar with Canada Provinces, that is why I said nothing, haha.
I also did not recieve any email. Just FYI.
I’m from compton, you don’t know what crime is up in canada till you come to compton. Its time for me to resume hanging in the streets to sip some 40s and slap some of the bitches and hoes.
Micro: Illinois or California? There are two Comptons in the US.
Hmmmm. Ken I did send you another email separate from the first introductory one that WtfDragon sent.
And I just resent the intro email.
Check your trash folder, spam folder, junk mail…such things.
Illinois, all 300 of us know how to chill here.
Heh…literally. According to Wolfram Alpha, you’re sitting happily at 0 C just now; we’re about 7 degrees warmer.
California is where the rap album originated from. “In the city…” That’s all I remember other than the beat:

We’re so hardcore in compton just ten years ago there were like 10000 ppl. That was until the gang wars took over now we’re down to 300 shits crazy here man.
Ok. Now you’re just having us on.
Ok ok you got me, but 44 ppl in ten year murdered by violent crimes is pretty nuts. That’s over 1 percent of the population every year! I bet you can’t find a town or city with as much lawlessness as this place. Man I’m trapped in the ghetto, I just want out of the hood.
