Hi All

I don't know if anyone is interested I have been given these 4 coins over the years but do not collect them .. I have enough to cope with with the patches :lol:

The 3 MV22 Osprey coins came from their first appearance at the Farnborough Air show and the HSL-42 one direct from the squadron when I bought a load of patches from them

PM me if interested

Hi all,

Apart from airshows and bases visits, are there online shops you can purchase challenge coins from?

Thanks
Mike

Depends what coins you are interested in. You can get lots of USAF /USN etc from Ebay the occasional RAF coin will pop up on there. Squadron prints have some RAF coins from 1(F), XV(R) and 617

RAF coins can go for stupid money on EBay :lol: a II(AC) centenary coin went for £60+ and a VC10 coin went for over £100+ :Wow:

A great coin to have and from what I have seen (and been offered) a nice little investment!

Enjoy it and dont get rid (unless of course to me at a good price :D :D )

Cheers

These coins were produced in 2011 as publicity material for the Hawk AJTS roadshow around the United States. As you can see, I have a few!
