Instead of miles on the road sign how about the year for each cache.

Instead of miles on the road sign how about the year for each cache.
That is an option, too, and the MI could even be added to it. Using the years makes the numbers less random like the real sign is, however. Another alternative is use how many caches were placed each year. If we go with it, I am happy with any decision everyone makes.Quote:

Signpost on Side A - 2D with halfraised metal for wood grain, using a translucent brown for the signs. PMS White fill between planks. Raised metal text.
Since there would be a big rectangle to fill on the back, how 'bout this:
Moose standing up on rear (crossed) hooves, kinda like how one would adjust their legs if leaning against a wall.
Moose holding a "Caching Maine - 10 Years" sign in front hooves (clasped). Moose is obviously hiding behind a signpost! :D
That sounds really neat. Great ideaQuote:

I think this is something along the lines of what GeocoinDesign.com is suggesting. Pardon my bad photoshopping and theft of web images. I am no artist so I can't do it by hand.
Using an image like this does tie the topic of the two sides together. We could add pine cone in too, but I forgot and it's 4AM, and I need to be up in an hour and a half... :rolleyes:

I'm not likin the sign post. Barry's coin was the sign post, Loved that one.
I like the Moose, crossed legged, holding the 10 year sign, leaning on maybe an old pickup with a hunter or Cacher tied to it.
I really like the sign idea. Preferably with miles to make it look more authentic. Also like the moose but that could be substituted with whitetail deer or ruffed grouse (pahtridge).
I hadn't thought of that. Barry did have a coin like this. I like the concept and the designs that are shaping up, but don't like repeating an idea that's already been done.Quote:

However, we could replace the sign with a tree and have the moose hiding behind that. But I'm not sure how we'd place the GC codes on the other side - having them carved into the tree does not depict geocaching well in my opinion.
moose tattoos?
:D Where's the like button?Quote:

However, this thread is about a coin! :p

- I threw the moose into the fray because it does, indeed, represent Maine. So does a
lobster, a light house, fishing, the shape of Maine, etc.
- I intentionally chose the moose cut out (see my pic) because THAT is what would
make it unique. Put a moose as part of a square or rectangular coin = Boring to me.
- Sure there are several "moose" themed coins, mostly head shots. Show me one that
is actually shaped like a moose (full body).
- Too fragile? Moose crap. Four legs would be very durable. Numereous coins out
there with cut outs.
- More expensive than a round or square coin? How much more expensive per coin
do you think it would be?
- A pine tree behind it is possible, but, it would have to be small one. Otherwise the
moose would end up being small.
Last time, then I'll quiet: Moose, sign that says Maine 10 Years, some warm and fuzzy comment on the back, and the tracking number (on the back this time, not the front!)
I'll second that nomination....Go Dan
Sounds good. I like the cutout moose. I think a pine tree behind the moose would add stability if that is a concern. Also the wording on the back sounds like a great idea.
If a pine tree was just slightly larger than the moose the dangling pine cones would fit right in. I like the plain moose cutout idea the best with wording on the back.
How much would these tiny pine cones cost? And how long would they be available?
I love, love, LOVE the sign post!
Yup Dan, I like it.
what's the status of this coin?
