+DresselDragons Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The GCF Committee is please to announce the 2008 Geocoinfest Bridge geocoin. Proceeds from this coin sale will help fund GCF 2008. One side of the coin depicts the golden triangle as viewed from Mount Washington and one of our more unique modes of transportation, the Duquesne Incline. The flip side honors the 2007 host city, Temecula, CA, and the 2008 host city, Pittsburgh, PA. The GCF 2007 hot air balloon and GCF 2008 incline are connected by a bridge spanning the gap between the two cities. Two metals of this coin were minted of this trackable geocoin - antique silver and antique bronze. They are 1 5/8" (42mm) in diameter and 3.5mm thick with imitation hard enamel. The coins were also minted in a LE two-tone version in both antique silver and antique bronze. The bridge, balloon and incline are depicted in either a shiney gold (on the antique silver version) or a shiney silver (on the antique gold version) on the LE versions. The breakdown of these coins are as follows: RE antique silver - 200 RE antique bronze - 200 LE antique silver two-tone - 75 LE antique bronze two-tone - 75 The costs are $7.98 for the RE and $8.48 for the LE, and are now available for sale HERE Quote Link to comment
