For Sale SSR Coins

AZSSR · 07-04-2008, 03:46 PM

In our Armed Services they are called “Challenge Coins,” in police departments a “Chief’s Coin,” and in private industry an “Employee Appreciation Coin.”

“SSR Coins”, Click on Coins Above, are 1 ¾ inches in diameter, die struck in black nickel with gold colored lettering, and covered in a clear epoxy for durability. SSR Coins are offered only in the basic colors at this time.

Included with each coin are the rules for a “Coin Check” and the History of the original Challenge Coin which dates back to WWI. Only SSR Fanatic members will be offered this coin, so carry it with pride and of course, a smile.

Coin(s) are $10.00 each. Shipping and handling for all 50 states is $2.50, to Canada, Australia and Germany $5.00. Multiple coin shipments and shipping to other countries are at the current USPS First Class Mail rate for each locality + handling.

I accept PayPal, your personal checks, and money orders. Send me a PM with the color and the number of SSR Coin(s) desired. Please include your name, e-mail and mailing address. I will respond by sending you an invoice through PayPal or my mailing address for checks and money orders.

Thanks, AZSSR

These look great--- is the design the same on front and back?

roadsterjeff · 07-04-2008, 04:07 PM

I don't see a red coin...is it one of the basic colors?

my05ssr · 07-04-2008, 04:08 PM

How are the coins packed, what kind of case do they come in and what is on the other side. Let me see if I understand shipping cost right, each coin is $15 + $5 shipping so if I want 4 coins the shipping will be $20?

Sharptoys · 07-04-2008, 04:13 PM

Coins are nice...

They are each in a plastic pouch inside a bubble envelope. Shipping for four coins would $7.00.

the other side may be like his avitar?

AZSSR · 07-04-2008, 04:27 PM

Jeff -

Yes, there is Red. The Avatar to the left is the front of the coin and it is supposed to turn to the Red SSR on the back. I'll have to fix that!

Sharptoys -

Handling is part of shipping, which is envelopes, the History of a Challenge Coin and Rules for use of the coin (Insert), and travel to the post office (Gas).

Please.. Unfamiliar with "Challenge Coins"... there are rules? Uh...

Sharptoys · 07-04-2008, 07:14 PM

1. RULES:
A. The challenge is initiated by drawing your coin, holding it in the air by whatever means possible and state, scream, shout or otherwise verbally acknowledge that you are initiating a coin check. Another, but less vocal method is to firmly place it on the bar, table, or floor (this should produce an audible noise which can be easily heard by those being challenged, but try not to leave a permanent imprint). If you accidentally drop your coin and it makes an audible sound upon impact, then you have just "accidentally" initiated a coin check. (This is called paying the price for improper care of your coin.)

B. The response consists of all those persons being challenged drawing their coin in a like manner.

C. If you are challenged and are unable to properly respond, you must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.

D. If everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for all those people they challenged.

E. Failure to buy a round is a despicable crime and will require that you turn-in your Coin to the issuing agency.

2. WHEN - WHERE:
A. Coin checks are permitted, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.

3. EXCEPTIONS:
A. There are no exceptions to the rules. They apply to those clothed or unclothed. At the time of the challenge you are permitted one step and an arms reach to locate your coin. If you still cannot reach it -- SORRY ABOUT THAT!

4. A COIN IS A COIN

Thank you for the saying, it's a good one. I have your color!

Are Sue and I going to see you in Durango or Laughlin?

I first saw these last Friday and they had been sent by an Austraian Army WO2 who runs our post office in Afghanistan. They are certainly pretty cool and knew exactly what they were on seeing this post. Our boys are swapping coins with the boys from USA in the land of sand. I shall look forward to receiving my SSR coins.

P.S. I doubt I will have to "shout" the bar here as no-one else has them. LOL

When do you think that you will have them in the tu-tones?? I really want one, but hate to have to buy 2 to get silver/black.

Nancy24-

As you can see below the production runs of Tu-Tones was low.
That's good news, bad news.

Good news for you, you have a rare SSR!

Bad news for the production of SSR Coins in these colors.

Only #'s 1 & 2 below are over 100 SSR's. Let me check with my supplier and see if I can get a low number of each made and the cost $$$$$$. If so, I will make a list of interested Fanatics.

1. SMOKIN ASPHALT OVER RICOCHET SILVER - 238
2. RICOCHET SILVER OVER SMOKIN ASPHALT - 134
3. PACIFIC BLUE OVER RICOCHET SILVER - 32
4. PACIFIC BLUE OVER SMOKIN ASPHALT - 9
5. AQUA BLUE OVER RICOCHET SILVER - 8
6. RICOCHET SILVER OVER PACIFIC BLUE - 7
7. RICOCHET SILVER OVER AQUA BLUR - 5

Mike in AZ · 07-06-2008, 10:03 PM

I have a blue one and it is awsome. I think I'm gonna have to buy a few extra and keep them in some "key" places. You know......in case I forget to have it one me..... I'll at least have a spare in the "R" and one in the shop. Also one for my collection case and a give-away or two......

Dang it Joe.......

Now you've got me doing it....

Mikey

REBEL · 07-07-2008, 06:40 AM

For the really low production two tones, get one and take it to your local airbrush guy.

Let me know what you find out. If no tu-tones, guess I have to buy the black and silver coins.

ezmoney · 07-10-2008, 02:23 PM

Joe,

My SSR coin arrived. Wow, very nice, I really like the distinction between front and back.

I will PM you for more coins. I want one as a card cover when I play hold-um and another to keep in my SSR with my name tags for events. Of course you know who want one of her own!!

Thanks for thinking of the coins,

Larry

turnheadz · 07-10-2008, 11:13 PM

Hey Joe, I finally showed these to Wayne. We'll take two. I'll pm you the details. Thanks
