Also need more light on the darker piece - I can't read the inscriptions. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 11/03/2024 08:12 am There doesn't seem to be much of a market for challenge coins. The "value" seems to be in the interaction between a famous/important individual and the recipient. Assuming of course it's real and not from the gift shop. US Presidents have long had "challenge coins" (appreciation medals) available to them, but the value seems to be in the letter "Dear Bob, thanks for all the hard work, /s/ David" vs. the medal itself. And of course, with most unit's coins... while it might be cool to have one from Interpol, generally as soon as you open your mouth it becomes clear you aren't an insider and it becomes uncool. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
ITATodd New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/03/2024 12:24 pm Thanks @john1 for the Welcome. @BStrauss3 thank you for that info. I plan on keeping them as I like to collect them when I do come across them. I have only about 30 CC's and I know each holds something of value. These particular 2 I really had no clue of their worth and symbolization. Report this Post to the Staff

Certainly, the field of challenge coins and similar medals has gotten a lot richer over the past few years. It used to require a fairly hefty minimum quantity to cover the costs of producing the die. Now you can make 1 or 5 or 10 on a mini-mill.
