Challenge Coin Collecting For The Novice Collector
The history of the "Challenge Coin" dates back to World War I. A flying squadron during the war ordered bronze coins embossed with the squadron's logo. Every member of the squadron was given a coin and they carried it while in uniform. One member of the squadron was shot down and captured. The Germans who captured him took all of his identification but left his coin, seeing no need to take it from him. After escaping, it was only by his coin that he was properly identified when he made his way back to allied territory.
Today, the coin represents the identity of the unit. It's a morale item, and binds the unit together. When military members are gathered together of duty, the challenge coin is used as a means to boost morale and have fun. While gathered together, if a member produces their Challenge coins and drops it on the table or floor and a sound is made, whether accidentally or on purpose, the other members of the squadron must be able to produce their coins. Those who don't have their coin on them are now indebted to the other members of the unit. Maybe they owe them a favor, a sandwich, or a drink at the local pub.
The Troopers' coin is meant to remind us about our connection to each other through a very unique organization. By carrying this coin with you all the time, you are carrying a daily remind of who you are. On one side of the coin is the cross sabers. Written above the sabers are the words "Honor, Loyalty, and Dedication". Those three words have shaped and defined how many of us live our lives. On the other side of the coin are four stars. Each star represents a valuable part of the organization: Percussion, Hornline, and Colorguard. The fourth star represents the alumni, volunteers, and staff members that make each season possible. There is also a gold banner on the back that is blank. Each of us has been a part of the organization in different ways and in different years. The banner is blank to allow us to put our own story on there. Above the banner and stars are the words, "We're How the West Was Won".
Type - There are a number of types of coins within a given denomination. Types of coins could include (U.S.) the Flowing Hair Half Dollar versus the Walking Liberty Half Dollar or the Draped Bust Half Cent versus the 1793 Half Cent.
Date - Each coin comes out during a given year. You could collect coins during a given year or a Silver Dollar for every year it has been available.
Whether you're just starting out in the world of coin collecting or looking to get more involved, finding additional resources and like-minded folks will enrich your experience. There are several ways you can meet other coin collectors and learn more information.
1. Join a local coin collecting club in your area.
2. Visit coin shops in your area to browse and talk shop with the dealers. Find a reputable one affiliated with a coin dealer organization.
3. Go to a coin show in your area where you can interact with numerous dealers, coin collectors, and have the opportunity to view coins firsthand.
4. Attend a summer seminar given by the American Numismatic Association. They offer weeklong courses (summer junior coin collectors / young numismatists' camps) on subjects like coin grading, photography, and detecting counterfeit coins.
