U.S. Army Challenge Coins

Well Cavalry coins seem to be the rage of today’s collector’s that are developing their collections in this specific niche of challenge coins. This 3D Cavalry coin is nothing short of a wonderful coin. The Packhorse wanted something strong yet traditional in their coin and they called upon U.S. Challenge Coins to make them something that fit the bill. This great 1.75” coin is die struck in a brass finish that lends the traditional feel many collector’s love. They avoided the mistake of encasing the coin in epoxy, which would have removed the feel of the coin’s 3D.

The 3D was performing their duties in OIF when they decided to bring in a new coin to award to the soldiers that deserve it. Those soldiers will walk away with a treasure no doubt. This coin is perfect in the sense that it has style of yesteryear with the blend of color that we have come to expect in the 21^st century. If you are looking for a coin for your collection from the men and women of the “Regiment of Mounted Riflemen” then check out this coin!

In many cases people collect challenge coins because it reminds them of something they were once part of or something they wished they could have achieved. It’s a special thing that many are starting to open their eyes and see the world around them. I have found it to allow me to touch some of the very best people i have ever met in my life. Challenge coins give you an opportunity to reach across the internet and met someone who once served in the Army before you and talk about the current coins of the day. Of course talking about the current coins of the day does allow you to go above that with war stories or just reminiscing about the past. (more…)

Often Army challenge coins are not talked about but rather just sold and traded. The fact is the Army is once of the strongest branches of the Armed Forces in the challenge coin niche. They produce some of the best coins available today and I don’t think many collectors know this. One of the most enjoyable things about collecting their coins is the fact that you can get very specific in collecting the branch areas. Some collector’s collect only Cavalry, or Special Ops, or maybe just SM coins. Either way I have found many collectors’ that thrive in collecting on Army coins. (more…)
