From the moment the call went out to throw off the oppression of tyranny overseas, Americans have stepped up to defend our nation. Army, Navy and Marines were the first to pledge their lives in 1775, with the Coast Guard joining in 1915 and the Air Force in 1947. More than 41 million Americans have served their fellow citizens in the United States Armed Forces. Now, you can honor 250 years of our brave heroes with a collection of U.S. veterans challenge coins, all made in the U.S.A. Introducing the 250th Anniversary Made in America Challenge Coin Collection, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange Mint. This collection begins with Issue One, American Veterans. Soon, your collection will continue with Issue Two, WWII Veterans and FREE Deluxe Display Box, followed by Issue Three, Gulf War Veterans and additional collectible challenge coins, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Expertly minted at the oldest private mint in America, each tribute in this collection is struck in golden bronze with colorful tri-chromatic artwork, continuing the honorable traditions of military challenge coins as tangible reminders of fellowship, excellence and shared commitment to the defense of our nation. The fronts portray powerful sculpted imagery of veterans from all eras and every military branch, while the back of each coin bears a bold, sculpted 250th anniversary design, including a stately heraldic eagle, the bold numeral "250", and the words "FREEDOM", "Since 1776", and "PROUDLY MADE IN THE U.S.A." Proof quality coining dies have created polished, mirror-like fields and raised, frosted imagery on both sides. Grandly sized at 2 inches in diameter, each coin arrives in Proof condition, secured for posterity in a crystal-clear capsule. Plus, the FREE deluxe display box, arriving with Issue Two, perfectly stores and showcases your collection. We are proud financial supporters of the families of those taken prisoners of war or remain missing in action and the loved ones of those who have made immense sacrifices in service to our country thanks to customers who encourage us to do so. Veterans, military historians and supporters alike are sure to love this collection, and it also makes an impressive military gift! Strong demand is anticipated, so don't delay. Order now!
