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 below
The 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.

I had the chance to see the Geo-Dragonchild's collection at the 2015 Geocoinfest in Eindhoven. And since he kindly sent me the tracking codes, I am even able to log them as "discovered". It was my first geocoinfest, and even though the geocoins form part of every event, the amount of geocoins at the geocoinfest was immense. There was no way to see them all, so I just strolled along the stands and looked here and there what might be interesting. Besides the coins, I also liked the sunny weather, the lab caches around and the overall atmosphere. What amused me a little bit was the beer, since it was really small (I think 0,2l).
Thanks for sharing the collection with the geocaching community & happy geocaching!
