Challenge Coins
The subject of Challenge Coins comes up every once in a while....I am in the process of building a holder for son Eric's Challenge Coins and I wanted a couple more to fill out his collection and give some balance to the display. I've known about Northwest Territorial Mint for a long time, but this is the first time I've ordered from them.....I got three...one for Naval Base Norfolk, one for his rate (AM) and one for Kaneohe Bay. Had the AM coin engraved with his name....total cost for all three with shipping- $42 and about 5 days wait...pretty reasonable. Check them out at (this link to their Navy stuff): https://store.nwtmint.com/Navy/

the general concept here......this is just a prototype out of red oak for ideas and fits......

The inlay is really nice....but what if a coin is of a different Diameter...or are you doing it as you go?

making this one for specific coins I have.....typical size is 1 3/4" though I do have a 1 1/2" coin and a 2" coin and a triangular one as well....Eric was just telling me the new HSL-37 coins are shaped like a surf board......that would be fun to try to chisel out.....
If I make a generic holder I'd make one like the ones above, only using a slot cutter to make individual recesses the coins would stand in.....

Well....I've bought my first 2 coins...let the collection begin....LOL!
