I have done extensive research on this topic..

Robbins company of Massachusetts is accredited for minting the first 10th group coin circa 1967-1968. They are now merged with another company. It is said that 10th group has exclusive rights to the mold, however I contacted them a few years back with interest of having a couple made and after two weeks of searching the representative said they could no longer locate the mold. The gal did offer to make an impression mold if I sent in an original coin though.

The 10th group secretary has been using another company for the coins now for several years. I have seen the ones SFA has had for sale through the quartermaster in the past and there are many differences between them and known originals members have and carry. But If the original mold is found, And it can be authenticated I would be interested in having a current copy.

this day and age with all the fakes out there.... Just can't be too sure
