I think the snowshoe coin idea is a great one!!!. I also think the lack of sales for the coin this year was slow was because I didn't even know about it til the week was almost up. I didn't even see it mentioned on this site and don't always look at the GC site for days on end sometimes. I think a lot of members here didn't realize the date was upon us as well. That's just my thoughts anyway.
So back to the "08" coin idea. I love the snowshoes and maybe have a coin made like a pair of them side by side. Wish I was good at photoshopping,I'd whip something up. Some thoughts to ponder on anyway.
Just did a quick look around and found some photos of snowshoes here: http://jumaka.com/snowshoes/
And here: http://www.umaine.edu/hudsonmuseum/O...hoes/maine.php This is a great site to learn about Maine indians and their snowshoe making prowess.
