There is a commemorative coin available for the new USCGC Mackinaw.

The design is as follows:

Approx. size of a half dollar.

Front design states: USCGC Mackinaw, WLBB30, with picture of the new cutter.

Back side of coin: City of Cheboygan, with picture of Cheboygan lighthouse. Arrival date of the cutter.
(This is the description info that was given to me via telephone).

Each coin is $7.00, which consists of the ($5.00) coin, (monies from the sale of the coins goes to the Coast Guard Morale fund) shipping and materials costs to me and to you.

Paypal payment of $7.00 is acceptable (no credit card payment), or a personal check.

Speaking with the group involved with this coin, the coins are selling rapidly, and expect to sell out before the actual arrival of the Mackinaw this Saturday 12/17/05.

If you are interested with purchasing a coin (or two), PLEASE advise immediately thru email.

First come, first served! smile

Thanks!
