Quigley Jones Teaser

I received this photo today from Quigley himself. You can count on a new coin in black nickel with glow paint in the near future. I imagine it will be similar to WhiteBear's "WhiteBear Bite Me" geocoin, another Canadian cacher with great personal geocoins. Two other surprise colors are in the mix as well. Who doesn't love the Quigley schooners? I will stay on top of these... last time they sold out FAST.
