Police Challenge Coins

Coin auctions are awesome because you can get some great deals on some pretty incredible items like Air Force Coins or some coins from WWII. Either way it’s a great way for a seller to unload excess coins and a buyer to find something they have been wanting for a while. This auction style for challenge coins have been around for a while and it’s easy; a great reason it is so popular. The biggest question is where and what auction to jump on.
eBay has been around for a long time and no doubt they are a monster of their craft. Other auction sites have sprung up to try to compete and only died in the unrealized awe inspiring wake of failure. Those sites died because they were in competition instead of trying to supplement an area of the industry. U.S. Challenge Coins .com is the next in line to try their hands at the auction arena. They are offering a general military auction site that will hold uniform items, military patches, pins, books, challenge coins, and anything else related.
USCC has a fair amount of traffic already but what makes this system different is that it is free, they are the specific site for trading collectibles, they boast a large support forum and community, and host a wide range of other dynamic tools collector’s can use. eBay cannot support this specific area because it’s too small to make eBay enough money to be interested it. It’s not always about fighting for position, sometimes it’s about what you get out of it.
These auctions are free, and you heard that right…FREE. We recognize some veterans need to earn extra money off of what they sell and not just 60% of what they sell. USCC has introduced this service free of charge for sellers and will also help reduce rates the products would normally sell for because sellers no longer have to include the fees they would normally pay within the price. What are you waiting for? Get out there and try the new auction zone!

One of the biggest coins done in 2007 police wise was from the Miami-Dade Police Department, Homeland Security section. They had many troops deploy and when they needed to raise funds to send care packages they turn to the only custom challenge coin maker they could find that would donate to the cause. in conjuction the one and only MDPDHS coin was produced. This was an exciting coin to do and all the media got to buzzing about it.

The story was first featured in the Miami Herald then it spread over to Fox News and NPR. Everyone was so impressed with the efforts the Major and his team of Officers put behind this mission. They sent hundreds of care packages to the med serving over in support of Iraq and Afghanistan. For this they are recognized as our “Police Department of the Year”. I know they have some good things up their sleeve for next year so be prepared for another great run!
