The guys from Hurlburt Field did it again with a second coin that really shows of their style. This coin does not have any cutouts, but is still incredibly done. This whole coin is plated with a high polish nickel. They stayed at 1.75” in size but upped the ante with some even more 3D. [...]
Some people are heavily against buying challenge coins and we agree that earning is the best way to obtain a challenge coin and when that is not an option then trading should be the next best way to get them. For anyone that has served you have more than likely been handed a challenge coin [...]
Today marked a great thing, the first challenge coin auction house away from auction giant eBay. They rolled out a comparable service at 20% of the fee cost and even have their own bulklister like eBay for the dominating sellers on the net. Challenge Coin Auctions .com is creating a buzz where one has been [...]

A blast from last May 2007, when a challenge coin design won the contest at U.S. Challenge Coins for best design. They offered a contest for the winner to receive a free mint of the design and 20 copies to do whatever with. The winner was this coin that represents the U-2 from Beale AFB, [...]
There is a new place for people who collect to come together and check out what is going out there which isn’t branch specific but still meets our expectations of a great playground to meet others with coins we may want. Anyone that is big into challenge coin trading should love this place as it’s [...]
We think coins in general are cool. As other branches catch up on placing great coins in the hobby the Air Force has a distinct edge because they have been doing it longer and know what it takes to shine. We have seen a lot of killer coins out there but the Air Force reigns [...]
