After several months of work, I'm pleased to formally announce the Maine International Geocaching Geocoin.

This coin began with the picture of that very famous sign in North Waterboro. The other side was inspired by some of those old "Greetings from Maine" postcards from earlier in the 1900's.

Specs: The coin is 1.75" tall. This is slightly larger than the Maine geocoins. Without the post at the bottom, it's almost the same size as the Maine geocoins. If feels smaller though because the coin is only about 2/3 as wide as a round coin. It's 3mm thick or just slightly thinner than the Maine geocoins (I think those are 3.5mm). All coins are done in Black Nickel so the lettering on the sign is in black. The coin is done in hard enamel so both sides feel pretty smooth. "Maine" uses red glitter paint. The coin is trackable on geocaching.com with its own icon ; the codes use the custom "KM" prefix.

There are two versions; both share the same postcard side (the middle coin). The regular edition (RE) is a plain white sign (the coin on the left in the picture). The Limited edition (LE) has glow-in-the-dark enamel and looks slightly off-white in regular light (the coin on the right).

There are 200 of the RE coins.
There are 50 LE coins.

Vom gleichen Designer habe ich weitere Coins in meiner Sammlung, allesamt mit Kajak-Bezug (wie es der Name kayakerinme auch schon vermuten lässt):
