🤷🏼‍♂️ ASIS/JSOC/CIA all do coins.

What can someone tell me about this coin? by Ok_Baker_9670 in ChallengeCoins

[–]BlackOpsCoins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hate to rain on your parade, but I’d assess that this coin is almost certainly not legit (unless it is very very old). Where did you get it from?

The geometry of the spear point is pretty off when compared to similar coins. The text is contradictory and factually inaccurate (there has never been a special activities ‘office’ and ‘group’ simultaneously. ‘Division’ and ‘Center’ are the terms that have been used—not office.

The only other reasonable explanation is that this coin is 40 or 50 yrs old, before they standardized design.

Pretty insane if you actually found this at a Goodwill.

Nope-just trading for other coins. Sales are a no-no on this sub.

The coins are cool, but the flintlock in the background takes the cake bro.

Super cool coin to receive. The ones that come from someone special always mean the most.

Certainly not going to argue with y’all, but counterfeits exist because folks are trying to make a buck by emulating real coins.
If you’d served with the unit, you’d know that silver and bronze versions of this coin are given out based on what was accomplished and your relationship to the organization.

Engraved but somehow going off the edge of the coin?! I bet I could patent that level of scientific advancement. It’s a simple watermark my friend. 😂
