I never served in the Army or in that unit but this is an early example of what would become the challenge coin and I consider it significant to numismatics. How did it end up on eBay? Is the original owner trying to raise some money? Was it lost or stolen? Was it willed to an heir who no longer wants it? </p><p><br /></p><p>I really can&#039;t answer those questions. What I do know is that someone who appreciates the coin and it&#039;s place in numismatics now owns it. The current owner will cherish the coin and keep it safe and is interested in the unit. </p><p><br /></p><p>So does this make me a war profiteer or stealing valor? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the medal in question:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]537901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
