ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4433 Posts	Posted 09/04/2026 9:49 pm Looks like this topic was moved, perhaps? Although called "challenge coins," I thought these items should be considered exonumia, regardless of when they were struck. Was this one struck by the U.S. Mint? Does it possess any governmental coin or monetary value as legal tender? I've never studied or owned one of these. This old guy's confused ... Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27514 Posts	Posted 09/04/2026 10:48 pm ExoGuy, I resurrected this topic - it had been dormant since 2006. I suppose that things were a bit different on the CCF back then. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Capt72023 New Member 1 Posts	Posted Today 43M ago Hi everyone! I purchased a 17th infantry Buffalo Bill coin with the dates 1950 and 1953. I'm hoping it's authentic but I'm having a very hard time figuring it out. I've read conflicting info on the material, and wear, and hole and crest. I've been comparing pictures of what I purchased to other alleged authentic coins and notice inconsistencies in color, the shape of the buffalo, the crest design for that year, etc. I'm looking for help, can anyone tell me if this is authentic or did I buy a really good replica? I should add, it weighs 5.03 grams. Edited by Capt72023 Today 42M ago Report this Post to the Staff
