+GeocoinGuy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 What's the size on this coin? What is the enamel finish? (it's appears to be hard enamel) ~J Quote Link to comment
sarahbelle Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Do I need to preorder a coin in order to pick it up at the Fling or will there be some available to purchase there? Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 What's the size on this coin? What is the enamel finish? (it's appears to be hard enamel) The geocoins are 1.5" in diameter; they are a hard enamel finish. The "water" is semi-translucent, allowing the "detail" of the metal behind to be seen, giving a "wave" impression. The"canoe" colour is also semi-translucent, which was done to provide a "wood grain" effect. If you check the "LE" coin, you'll see the metal that provides the "visual texture" in the two coloured coins. Thanks for asking; useful information I had omitted to include before!

If we have any *left*, they will be available at Spring Fling... they are moving quickly! You can "pre-order" them on the COG store (using the link above.. after all, you'll want to Pre-Register for the event anyway.. right? !) and collect them at Spring Fling, or they can be mailed to you for $1.50 (Unless you wish to go to tonights COG event in Alliston.... I'll have them with me!) Quote Link to comment
