+ECplus3 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Sambro Lighthouse geocoin The Sambro Island Light is located at the entrance to Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is the oldest surviving lighthouse in North America. It was first lit in 1758 and has been operational ever since. The front of the coin is a depiction of the first order Fresnal lens that was installed in the lighthouse in 1906. The eight-foot tall lens now resides in the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The back of the coin shows the lighthouse on Sambro Island (the beam glows in the dark). This coin was designed by local geocacher Mr_Warhead. There will be 4 different finishes: Antique nickel Antique bronze (shown) Antique copper Nickel/Black nickel two-tone Size: 52mm x 37mm x 4.0mm Features: 3d design, glow in the dark Edited November 14, 2011 by Eartha Quote Link to comment

+ECplus3 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Neat coin!! Is this going to be part of a series perhaps? We'll see how this one goes. Do you mean a lighthouse series or an 'oldest surviving [blank]' series. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just a few days left in the pre-sale. Quote Link to comment
