I recently saw an unknown medal with a compass-like design in the middle and some words 'Tracking and Locating Group',but no more information. I guess this medal may be from a federal agency or law enforcement department. Can anyone find out what is it? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 05/05/2024 1:09 pm @12k, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you please post the diameter and weight of this piece? I suspect it is a so-called "challenge coin", but knowing those numbers could help. Also, please confirm that there aren't any letters along the edge. Thx.

12kilowatt New Member China 3 Posts	Posted 05/05/2024 1:30 pm @Spence This item is 3 inches in diameter and weights about 8 oz so I think it's a medal rather than a challenge coin. It's a collection of a friend so I don't know yet whether there exist any additional letters. I may provide more details if I find some. Report this Post to the Staff

12kilowatt New Member China 3 Posts	Posted 06/26/2024 12:39 pm I recently found on ebay a similar challenge coin which the seller claims to be a CIA coin. I think my question is solved. Edited by 12kilowatt 06/26/2024 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19227 Posts	Posted 06/28/2024 8:13 pm The coin posted at the top (above) shows a 'vacant' reverse. The coin on ebay (seller in Australia) has a full reverse: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126541688049 Very curious. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/28/2024 8:30 pm Good point @ijn. Perhaps the OP has a partially-finished blank. Also, to help us learn in the future when that auction comes down, here is a pic of the other side when finished: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97914 Posts	Posted 06/28/2024 9:27 pm very nice identifying this challenge coin And maybe the back is blank because they didn't find anything yet.
