As of December 2003 MilitaryCoins.com and Northwest Territorial Mint have united to bring the Military Community the highest quality Military Challenge Coins available! Since its beginning in 1997, MilitaryCoins.com has been a site geared towards the collector and appreciator of high quality Military Challenge Coins. We strive to provide information that is valuable to the collector community and give them an arena to discuss issues and trade coins in our Trading Post. Over the years we have also made information available on where to have coins made. After years of staying neutral on manufacturers and resellers we have decided to partner up with Northwest Territorial Mint . Much research and thought went into who we would form a partnership with. Some of the issues considered were quality of coins produced, services available and would we be dealing with a mint or a middle man. Also of paramount consideration was the desire to deal with a mint that produced a 100% American made product. We at MilitaryCoins.com are very patriotic and feel that the place for Military Challenge Coins to be manufactured is in the USA . Coins made in the USA cost more than Korean or Chinese coins but this is definitely a case where the old saying “You get what you pay for” applies. Coins from Korea or China are generally cast coins made from lower quality metals. The detail that can be achieved from cast coins is much lower than that of US die struck coins. We also didn't want to deal with resellers who have no real control over the minting process and are getting paid to be the middle man between the customer and the manufacturer. These requirements eliminated over 95% of the coin dealers. After comparing all of the manufacturers and resellers available, the choice was obvious, Northwest Territorial Mint . Northwest Territorial Mint , located in Washington State , is an actual minting facility. All of their coins are minted on site and are 100% U.S. made. Northwest Territorial Mint is able to work a project from the initial concept art, to the finished product, all in their 30,000 sq ft facility. With Northwest Territorial Mint when you talk to a representative you are speaking to an extension of the mint. There is no middle man who adds on to the price. MilitaryCoins.com is proud to become part of the Northwest Territorial Mint family. Here are some of the key benefits we see in Northwest Territorial Mint .
