I have all these challenge coins I cant find anything about most of them online. I bought these coins on craigslist in Fort Bliss for 30$ The Man Told me they were from afganistan and Iraq. Some of these coins are Giant and some are big dollar coin sized. I want to sell them on ebay but i dont have enough information on them? I found one of the big buffalos go for 28$ If you are interested in them make me a offer and I will sell to the highest offer

Neat coins but you have to be a charter member to sell them here. Hopefully someone can give you some more info on them so you can ebay them.

They are unit coins. I see generic unit coins "NTC" - National Training Center (which can be purchased at the PX or readily acquired at the unit, and I see company and battalion level coins. Usually given out by leadership in appreciation for a job well done. They hold meaning to those that have served in those units, or have received them as a token of appreciation. The "challenge" part is more of a tradition. If you see someone in your unit at a bar, and you throw down your coin, and they don't have theirs...they owe you a beer. If they do have theirs and you issued the challenge...you owe them s beer.
