toponym Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) The Woodsy Owl Geocoin has been produced with permission from the U.S. Forest Service and 10% of all sales will go to benefit the "Conservation Education / National Symbols Program for use in furthering the wise use of the environment and programs that foster maintenance and improvement of environmental quality." The 2" x 3.5 mm thick, brass, Woodsy Owl Geocoin has been created in two versions. The front side of each version is identical and depicts in colorful hard enamel Woodsy Owl standing and holding a GPS receiver. The reverse is highly polished and has the geocaching symbol encircled with one of two official tag lines - "Give A Hoot. Don't Pollute." and "Lend A Hand. Care For The Land." These geocoins are trackable at geocaching.com and have custom prefixes (WO) and unique icons. The tracking number has been digitally removed from the photo. The name and character of Woodsy Owl are the property of the United States, as provided by 16 U.S.C 580p-1 and 18 U.S.C. 711a, and are used with the permission fo the Forest Service, US Department of Agriculture. For those of you waiting for the Smokey Bear Geocoin - that one will be produced next and should be available soon. Finally, for those of you who have purchase from my websites before, I now have a new and hopefully improved website. All of my geocoins are now available at this link If there are any problems with the website, please let me know.

+AtwellFamily Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Is it me or is this quote missing? "Give A Hoot. Don't Pollute." Secondly, this one looks like the "N" in Lend and Land or "M". "Lend A Hand. Care For The Land." correct me if I'm worng or correct the coin before you mint them.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, talk about a blast from the past! I haven't seen that character in probably 10 or 12 years. I see what you mean about the "N"s, but I'm pretty sure it's the font style (I think I recognize it) and it should look more like an "N" in hand than in this picture which is at an angle. Definitely a fun coin to put out there with a good message. Way to go Quote Link to comment

Wow if that is part of the mold the cost just went up just to create the little change on the mold. not sure I would have choosen to do it that way. In any case, cool coin will be looking to trade.
