Description: This auction is for a AUTHENTIC and RARE Texas A&M University
Corps of Cadets TX Spirit Keepers Challenge Coin
There will be no Second Chance Offers as this is the only one that I have.
I drastically reduce shipping with each auction you win within the same
order!!!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Why AUTHENTIC military challenge coins can not be "New"... In order for you to
purchase a challenge coin from any individual on any website, that coin would
have had to been presented to a service member (or civilian support staff
member). Unless you are purchasing them from the individual who commissioned
them (highly unlikely), from the mint (dubious at best), or the one possible
way would be if they were morale coins designed to be sold to raise funds for
the unit. Otherwise they would have had to had a least TWO previous owners. The
person who commissioned and presented the coin and its initialrecipient. While
many coins may have sat on a display, most were carried in service members
pockets and used for coin challenges or in the case of many units, they are
considered part of the Uniform of the Day and should always be carried. Many
coins have had several owners and make their way around not just the country,
but around the world. You are carrying a part of history. Just some things to
keep in mind.
I do try to incorporate recycled shipping materials into my orders; mailers,
boxes, coin sleeves, bubble wrap if necessary, etc. I do this to keep my
shipping cost down and in doing so, pass those savings on to you. The size,
shape, and weight of your coin will dictate the packaging and how it is mailed.
We do dollar cost averaging to ensure that we can keep USPS First Class mail
cost down.
I take ALL photos in natural sun light to try to best capture true color. This
can make some softerbronzes seem almost grey and shiny gold-tones appear
silver. I find the natural sun light gives the best contrast for 3d detail and
preserves natural epoxy color. The counter to this is it can also cause a glare
at the tops of coins with High Gloss coatings. Please email me with ANY
questions.
