Challenge Coins: A Beginner's Guide

Challenge coins are compact commemorative objects commonly used for recognition, affiliation, remembrance or collecting. A coin-like shape does not automatically make an object legal tender.

What to check

Who produced or authorized it?
Is it sold as a challenge coin, medal, token, novelty or legal-tender coin?
Are material and finish claims specific and supported?
Does the seller make clear whether it is official or independently produced?
What are the return and shipping terms?
