@Islander80-83 I have few of those. At one I had my dog tag on my key ring too. I took it off because my SSN was on it.
Yes, that has crossed my mind as well. Nice P-38's. I can take one look at them and tell you they've never seen combat!
I've impressed multiple generations of children at Christmas by pulling mine out and slicing through clam shell packages with ease.
29 Commando Regiment REME Workshop coins looking mega! Well done to those who passed their All Arms Commando Course this week Check out my collection at https://www.challengecoinsuk.com/gallery/
My wife spent 27 years in the Army and accumulated quite the collection of challenge coins. We enjoy going through them and explaining to me how she got them. This is not one of those. I recently picked this up off of eBay from the ANS collection. Just really liked it. The only downside is it came as a lot of 5 pieces.
Knowing I am a numismatist, a good friend gave me this. View attachment 1320988 View attachment 1320989
Here's my favorite dedicated to B Battery Bull's 5/27th Artillery LZ Sherry, RVN and howitzers Benevolence & Bad News.
For something I did as an airport security screener I won A challenge coin. And I received one when I joined the Sons of the American Revolution. And if I knew where they were I'd post them.
Designed and sent to me by my old pal, Al Serrato, RIP. He was the national commander of this organization.
Excellent challenge coins and great stories. Very interesting. Thanks to all for sharing. I have a couple challenge coins. Some I got while active duty and others as a civilian helping service members do their job. Let's see what I can quickly find . . . .
I've got some more ... but NO pics. I'll post them when I take some. The freakin' capsule for the "Bee / Jewish Laser" was $2.75.
I found a challenge coin today that belongs to Ronald E. Ray. He was awarded the Medal of Honor on 6/19/1966 for his actions in Vietnam. I’m trying to figure out how to get the coin back to him and I’m open to suggestions.
I just found the same challenge coin for sale some other site. I don’t know what to think about it now.
I think you will find, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Mr. Ray created the coin and distributed them.
Thank you Chris! You’re probably correct. That makes way more sense than him losing one he was awarded, like I originally thought.
