    So my son is currently in Cub Scouts and at the beginning of the school year, I purchased him a few challenge coins at the Scout Shop for the different ranks he had achieved (Tiger and Wolf at the time). When I went back to buy his Bear coin a few weeks ago, I was told that the coins were discontinued and after a bit of googling, found out that that Northwest Territorial Mint was out of business...and probably for the best if what I read about the owners is true...

    I was able to find the Bear, Webelo, and Arrow of Light coins but I can't for the life of me find the Bobcat coin. He is bummed because he doesn't have one to go with his set and the OCD completionist in me is going crazy.

    Does anyone have any idea where one might be able to find this coin? I've contacted the Scout Shops in our area to see if they had any left on clearance but no luck.
    The coin in question:

    The other coins that we have:

    It's a shame that you can't finish the set. Even though NWT has gone out of business, is it possible that someone bought their inventory and might have one? Have you searched eBay for this medal?

    Yeah I got the bear one off ebay. Haven’t seen any of the bobcat ones though.
    The new coins the BSA has are subpar compared to the NWTM ones.
