From colonial beginnings to modern milestones, America's story is written state by state. Each one represents a chapter in a larger legacy defined by courage, innovation and unity. Now, you may be able to honor America's 250th anniversary with a collection of state challenge coins that follows that journey in chronological order - revealing how the nation took shape with the addition of each new state and the distinct identity it brought along the way. The Bradford Exchange is thrilled to offer a special opportunity to reserve the America, State by State Challenge Coin Collection. Pending sufficient demand, this exclusive, limited-edition collection will begin with Issue One, Delaware. Soon, your collection will continue with Issue Two, Pennsylvania and additional collectible state challenge coins, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Custom‑designed and privately struck in solid metal, each two‑inch challenge coin in this collection will feature an antiqued silver finish. On the front, each coin will showcase a detailed silhouette of the state and its admission date, accompanied by imagery honoring its state bird and unique historic attractions. The designs will be captured in richly sculpted raised‑relief with hand‑applied enameling for exceptional depth and detail. Plus, the back of each coin will display a proud "250" atop a map of the 50 states, along with the words "United States of America". Together, these coins will allow you to trace the growth of a young nation - coin by coin, state by state - united by the enduring spirit that connects them all. The collection will be available in an edition limited to 5,000 complete collections worldwide, making these collectible treasures a rare celebration of America's milestone anniversary - and a special patriotic gift. Strong demand is anticipated, so don't wait to reserve your collection. Order now!
