Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron HSM-37 Chief Petty Office CPO Challenge Coin

Description: Description: This auction is for a AUTHENTIC and RARE Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron HSM-37 Chief Petty Office CPO 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 initial recipient. 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 softer bronzes 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. Please support your local VFWThank you for your consideration
