Bob Hudson Posted July 21, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2016 The "challenge" part is doing the research. A couple years ago I picked up maybe 60 challenge coins from a retired Navy Command Master Chief. They sat around for a long time until I started looking them up and was shocked to find out how much some are worth. I had figured they were all worth maybe $5 each. How and when did these start?

tarbridge Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted July 21, 2016 I think the earliest coins I noticed were Special Forces with maybe a Vietnam time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
