second batch (since it was such a hit) was made of a cheaper material to bring the cost down, silver coating.

along with one in carried condition

And that is the one I wanted. :)

I left 10th for 8th in April 72 and have the exact same coin as longrange1947. I also have one of the newer ones and it is much different. I would also like to get one of the originals if anyone can find the mold.

Current issue coin, picked this up today...its the version available through the SFA and group secretary. this one was manufactured through a company called blackington

I got my first 10th Group coin from SGM Caviaini when I signed in at Group HQ during in-processing ('84). It was lost a few years ago in a sailing accident... MTN Goat replaced it for me (got 2 just in case) ... Now I need to find a place that has one of the old style engravers to get the info put on the 'new' coins. I had one done at a mall 'engraving shop and it sure is no nearly as deep as the what was done at Devens.

My most prized coin is from 2007, SGM Caviaini presented me with one of his MoH coins after SHOT... long story, TS, TR, AM, BrianH, Prester John and a couple of others were there... that was an interesting week in Orlando...

That coin is the one I obtained from the S1 shop on arrival in 12/2980 or more probably whilst inprocessing in 1/ or 2/1981. I showed up for duty in MI company as a leg and was immediately exported to Benning and Jump School. I didn't get to SFQC until 1983. By then I'd been through several coins.

They would fall out of a guy's pocket when he disrobed to please some chick from Disco Devens while pulling CQ/DNCO in the building.

I probably ought to amass coins from the units I was in, now that I'm long retarded.

In the early 1980s, the coin was still unknown outside of SF. And nobody said "Hooah" anywhere except around lots of Ragnars. Now every national guard independent heavy typewriter company has its own coin, and the freakin' Family Support Group hooahs all over the place.

We sell the same one, may be a little more detailed, here's the 60th.

Stras, sorry about being late to this party, but what is the significane of the 4-24 meetings, and where are they held???? Jerry Marcantel

They also came in a Silver edition
 

I was in the 10th from 1973-1983 and had a silver coin which I'll be damn if I can find it now. Are they still selling them in silver?

Special Forces Association has chapters throughout the US.

Don't believe silver coins have been made since the early 80's..

We're looking into having the 1-10th SFG(A) silver coins made... But still looking for the original coin manufacturer (and hopefully the mold) in Germany.

I left C Company, A32 10th SFG in December 1963 with A Company and HS
in Bad Toelz, and Companies B,C & D in Lengreis

Coins
 

Don't know if this helps but, I believe the Robbins Co. from Attleboro, Mass made coins. I have no idea if they are even still in operation.

Just noticed this thread. I know a gentlemen connected to the Army Heraldry dept in Ft Bellview. If you are still looking, pm me and I can get you in touch with him. If he doesn't know, he can find out.

The New Type Challenge Coin ???
 

I was at Ft. Bragg for All American Week last week stayed at Moon Hall and had the chance to meet SF soldiers who were staying at Moon Hall while attending NCO training at the schoolhouse. One of the SF soldiers gave me a "Poker Chip" which is their challenge coin. Not made from metal or plastic but same material the casino poker chips are made from.Different from the usual metal coins that have been around forever. Regard's, Tom Kelly
