<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2127300, member: 32619&quot;][USER=51195]@Circus[/USER], Ray Bows in reviewing the Red Book Series on U.S. Tokens and Medals remarked that challenge coins got their start in the Army during Vietnam...I can dig up the link if you would like to read it, just let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just received several new tokens from my &quot;dealer&quot; and I took some poor but view-able photos with my phone. I know photos out of the holder would be better, but I don&#039;t have any new holders right now so there it stays. The first one up is just a test, but it comes to us from Brookley Air Force Base, Alabama.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/brookley-afb-al-1.2695/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some quick info: Brookley came to the Army in 1938 and lasted until the end of WWII. It seems it was closed briefly until the Air Force became it&#039;s own entity and was again in service from 1948 to it&#039;s closure in 1969.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
