Current Goal

After spending several years in Sweden, this geocoin has a special meaning to me! Especially after I had the same experience during my third stay in Sweden. Together with Karl_XI and Reugenspass.eu we came from a stash hunt back. Suddenly and without any warning, we had our close encounter of the moose kind We missed the moose by centimeters and we all were shocked for a moment. Luckily nobody got hurt and honestly once in a lifetime is enough! During the geocoinfest in Ulm, Germany, I met by luck Dofferson himself and had a nice cheat about Sweden and mooses!

The Close Encounters of the Moose Kind Geocoin has been designed by Dofferson. The idea for this geocoin was born, while spending his holiday in Sweden. He took three trips to Sweden without seeing a moose and on his fourth trip one jumped in front of his car (no person or moose got hurt). It suddenly jumped in front of his car and all three (his wife, himselve and the moose) had a "WTF ?" moment. Being a true geocoin addict the first thing that came into his mind was: "hmmm would be a nice geocoin idea". After some creatives moment at his computer the design for the geocoin was born. The first artwork by Dofferson is shown belowArtwork of the geocoin by DoffersonThe front side shows a moose head in black nickel for the outline and the shadow. The highlight parts are colored in yellow enemal. The backside is of multi layer design and shows a moose that is crossing a road with the text "close encounters of the moose kinds" in the same font as the science fiction movie "third kind". The deepest level (road and sky) is in glow. The final artwork for the geocoin is shown below.Artwork of the geocoin by Dofferson

Tijdens het Geocoinfest 2015 in Eindhoven heb ik de nederlandse geocoins van Geo Dragonchild bewonderd. Een aantal herkende ik uit mijn eigen verzameling maar er waren ook een aantal voor mij totaal onbekende nederlandse coins bij. Bedankt voor het tonen van je collectie.

Wij hebben Marcel aka Geo-Dragonchild ontmoet tijdens de GeoCoinFest in Eindhoven, waar hij deze indrukwekkende Dutch Geocoin Collectie verzameling hebben mogen aanschouwen en discoveren. Na een leuk gesprek over onze hobby werd er een foto gemaakt en informatie geruild. Het was leuk om je te ontmoeten. Bedankt voor alles.

Vandaag zijn we aanwezig op het Geocoinfest in Eindhoven. Al eerder waren we op grotere events aanwezig, maar nog niet eerder op een die gericht is op coins.
Vol verbazing hebben we rondgelopen en de mooie aanwezige coins bewonderd. Ook bekenden kwamen we met een verzameling tegen, we hebben even gezellig bij gesproken.
Op de zelfde etage kwamen we ook deze mooie verzameling tegen. Goed beschermd lagen ze aan te glimmen in de kast. Bedankt voor het laten zien van deze mooie collectie!
