I found a great deal on a 60 inch,50# ,Grayling Green bow ,this weekend. Its missing the coin. What color came with it ,and where do I find one .Thank you

Kodiak? Grizzly? Cub?

Kodiak.

61? Got some pictures? Sounds sweet! I'm going with aluminum or pewter.

1961 Bear Kodiak Grayling Green had a aluminum standing bear coin.

Mine was the later bow with the purple heart I beam. It has a pewter coin. Bear went to walnut/purple heart due to issues with the earlier bows.

camodave thanks for the reminder. I forgot the later 1961 Kodiaks had the pewter coin with a black enamel finish. The black enamel finish would flake off a lot of the time.

I believe the purpleheart I-beam was on the 1961 models. The 1962 were all rosewood.

You can get brass coins from 3 Rivers, I don't have any idea where to get the other coins.

Kbel5 on here makes excellent replacement coins including the aluminum one you need.

The brass coins from 3 rivers are actually bright gold in color and they ran $10.00 each plus shipping. I bought a few for belt buckles that I made.

Sorry...my error...when camodave said "the later one" I thought he meant the next year, 1962.

I do have the aluminum ones if anyone is interested.

I'm confused. Is it a 60" apple green 1961 Kodiak, a Grayling Green 1965 Kodiak or a green Futurewood 1972-76 Kodiak Hunter?

We kind of missed the fact the OP did not list a year. Time to reload.

I believe its a 72-76 Kodiak Hunter

Or a Kmag greenie What the serial number?

What is the serial number of your bow?

S/N KT57397. Thank for all your help

KT-serial number prefix. It's a Kodiak Hunter. 1970 to 1976.

If the limb glass is forest green it's 1967 1/2, 1968, 1973 to 1976.

I meant to say Kodiak Hunters had forest green limb glass 1967 1/2, 1968, 1973 to 1976. Yours is a 1973 to 1976 if it has forest green glass and a KT-serial number prefix.

Coin should be plastic. Not worth replacing. Just fill the hole.

DDave

Heck for $10 ,I might as well fill it with a coin

Good point.

DDave

My 61 Kodiak butcher block is #14J126 50# in great shape coin is aluminum and was painted at one time limbs in very good shape light checkering a few dings but nice used Bow !!! from top 61 62 & 63

I see the raised plastic coins on ebay from time to time and they are also on some of the old 80's compounds but I'm not sure if they have the stem on the back or not.

I've purchased several of the coins, in various metals from kurtbel5, Outstanding pieces!

I sent him a PM ,no response yet

There's all sorts of things you can glue on, screw in to replace a lot plastic "coin". Back in the 50's and early 60's, a lot of bowhunters glued a St. Hubert medal on their bow.

Hey JR speaking of 61 Grizzlys What brace height you running

I’m not a curvey bow archer but I just did a clean up and grip for a friends 61 Grizzly and was figuring on little tuning and string nock tie’n It’s got an aluminum coin by the way

I have a raised coin off a Bear compound if you want it. When I removed the coin the stem stayed in the bow but you can still glue the coin to the bow without the stem.

Jon, Sent you a pm
