Nick's Challenge Coins

My small but growing collection of challenge coins. Each one is scanned back and front and the image joined so you can see both sides.

I'll post updates as I get new additions. If anyone has any coins for sale please drop me a PM.

First two are really commemorative coins, quite big at 5cm but look really nice.

Additions to my collection from my trip to Fort Wayne Airshow in September.

122 Fighter Wing - The Black Snakes. Hosts of the Fort Wayne Airshow. Currently flying A10's


Headliners of the airshow were the USAF Thunderbird


Obviously sell each others merchandise as also on the Thunderbird stand were Blue Angel gear.


The Classic Air Force also had a stand and their P51 Mustang also flew in the show.


If anyone has any coins for sale please drop me a PM.
I'm particularly interested in RAF and US Navy aircraft squadron coins

[nwalch]

These are some of the ones I picked up from the December Patch Meet. Quite a productive (expensive ) day and managed to add 16 new coins to my collection plus had a fantastic day.

493 FS Grim Reapers who had a stand selling merch at the Patch meet. Think this is a new one for the squadron. I have a spare one to trade only if anyone is interested. Particularly looking for other USAF or US Naval Aviation coins.


509th Bomb Wing


96th Bomb Squadron


67th Special Operations Squadron. Very nice almost all black (and very difficult to photography well without something to deflect the glare).


Plus some of my end of year additions from elsewhere.

56th Rescue Squadron


VFA-113 Stingers Bee Hive


VFA-213 Fighting Blacklions


As always If anyone has any coins for sale or trade please drop me a PM with what you have and I can send you my updated trades list.

Nice haul Nick, the USN definitely know how to make a good challenge coin

Thanks Dan. Yes Definitely very lucky. Apparently only 8 of each came back from the Squadron.

Absolutely Gary. Always amongst my favorites. Probably got more USN Aviation coins than any other type.

Nice haul mate,

Not sure if you're intrested. I've seen 40 Sqn BAF are offering a SAR Diver coin via Facebook, not sure if they are still available or shipping to the UK though
