The Proceeds could go to the person that sponsors the Forum (Pays)

I like that idea.  I would definately buy-in for a couple of those.  I have some displayed on the wall from my military and law enforcement service. 

Something heavy...brass, with colored enamal on one side, and an etching on the other maybe.  Anyone with some graphics skills willing to draft up some design ideas?

Thanks for the answer post. I thought with the history and still the usage of the Star it would be a Great item......
I have NO design skills, I was hoping someone with that Talent would get
involved............
Need a Administrator to help out with this

I have Quite a few coins in my collection.....Police Dept, U.S. Marshals Service, Navy Reserve, Army Reserve, retired from the Air Force Reserve and one from a Forum of AK-47's & Galils..........
We'll see............

Images Posted at Doc's request....
There a Lot of Co's that will make a Challenge Coin, we just need a
member to design one.....If the Administrator agrees to this & he or a
wealthy member sponsors this, the funds could go to the Support of the
Forum or who ever funds this....The coins are around 1-3/4" in diameter,
usually made of brass & enameled... :D

Yes, I received it.  Didn't know you wanted me to post it.   
Also, since upgrading my internet service to double the speed, it hasn't worked worth a darn.  I keep loosing connectivity.   
Thank you CenturyLink!!!
