I've been manufacturing these types of challenge coins for a little over 7 years now. Honestly, we really come across some very cool designs and coin types. The thing that really makes these things valuable, in the end, is uniqueness. Obviously old coins and collectibles will be worth their salt as well. Keep in mind that all sorts of people use challenge coins for reward systems, not only the military and government agencies!

@militarycoinsusa This is true, the video is very old and I own U.S. Challenge Coins, LLC and I can attest that we make coins for ever aspect of our society from military to civilian. I promise to remake this video soon with a lot better quality and information.

You should earn these coins not buying them off the internet people who have these work their asses off to get them the only time you should get them off the internet iswhen you are a replacing it

Trust me as the owner of U.S. Challenge Coins I know what coins are being made and handed out. Only a slim population is working their asses off for a slim portion of coins. 99% of people can't earn 99% of coins made. I am military as well so I get it. People buying them aren't going bragging about things they didnt do and if anyone is through these coins then that's just sad.

Price does not necessarily mean that a "coin" has a value to a collector. Just because a coin is worth "a dollar," does not mean it is not a good coin. Collect what you like, not what someone on a video tells you to collect!

I would agree with you. I should update this video but the coin does carry a value in the collecting world, but someone should absolutely collect what they want because it has value to them. By all means take the video with a grain of salt and collect what you desire.

i have 5 challenge coins that i have earned...I have seen higher pass them out like candy instead of a COA or ARCOM. I personally recognize the 5 I EARNED; 1ID, 3ID (1-64 AR), 5th sig, etc......

I think I found a challenge coin. I've never heard of them before but I'm so glad I found this video! (and I like your whiteboard/table setup.)

I knew it was something special when I saw it. It's so intricate and nicely made. It just seems important. I am going to email you about it. Thanks so much for offering help!
