What this page is — and what we cannot do

The buyers we serve on this page are private: veterans' associations and posts, reunion organizing
committees, family memorials and individual collectors. They purchase commercially, they own their
designs or hold permission for the insignia they use, and the coins are for members, not for issue.
What we do not do is position ourselves for US federal or Department of Defense procurement: the
Berry Amendment requires US-made for those purchases, and our production is not compliant. We
publish that limit on purpose — it saves a federal buyer a wasted inquiry, and it keeps every
commercial quote on this page honest. We also never use "official" or "authorized" language about
ourselves, and we do not reproduce official armed-forces seals or decorations.

How much do veteran commemorative coins cost?

At 100–299 pieces, a 2" two-sided enamel coin runs $3.50–$4.20 — the only band we publish, and the
same band that applies on every other page of this site, so a comparison quote from us looks the
same everywhere you check it. The mold is a one-time charge: $80–$150 for a standard 2D die,
$150–$300 for 3D relief. Reunions most often order 50–200 pieces; at 50–99 the unit price is quoted per order and confirmed in writing within 24 hours.
Presentation pieces — acrylic capsules, velvet pouches — are quoted as their own lines, and freight
with duties is itemized under HS code 8306.30.

Can you use our unit crest or a branch emblem?

Only when you hold the rights or the written permission. What we do not reproduce, under any
circumstances: official armed-forces seals, service branch emblems, the Medal of Honor or any
official decoration. What we work from constantly: your own photos of an old unit coin, a hand-drawn
crest, a patched jacket photographed on a phone, an association's own emblem. The redraw to
production line art is free, and the digital proof on the real die shape arrives within 24 hours
with unlimited revisions.

What do reunion groups usually order?

The classic reunion coin is a 2" two-sided piece: front carries the unit or era identity — a
crest redrawn from an old coin, a silhouette of the airframe or vehicle, the years of service — and
the back carries the reunion specifics: location, year, "50 years since". Runs of 50–200 cover most
reunions with spares for organizers and family. Optional sequential numbering along the edge turns
the run into a memento with a place in it for every attendee. Acrylic capsules and velvet pouches
are the standard hand-out packaging.

Can you engrave individual names and service dates?

Yes — laser engraved on the back or the edge, one line per coin. Individual engraving adds 2–3
days because every piece is handled separately, and it is quoted on the number of characters. Send
the name list as an editable spreadsheet with the order; hand-typed PDFs slow the line down and
invite transcription errors. The usual format is surname, service years and a location or unit line
kept under 1.5 mm character height after plating.

Which finishes suit a commemorative coin?

Antique bronze, antique silver and black nickel read as old metal — the right register for a coin
that honors a past era — and they hide handling marks, which matters when the coin lives in a
pocket for a decade. Bright gold and silver suit presentation sets that live in a case. Thickness:
2.5 mm is the floor, 3–4 mm when the centre carries 3D relief. If the design is meant to look
worn-in, soft enamel plus antique plating is the only correct combination — hard enamel's flat
polishing strips the antique effect. The plating adder, if any, is confirmed with your quote.

Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?

When the carrier serves the route, yes. APO/FPO tracking is limited and transit runs longer than
the standard 3–5 days, so we treat those addresses as a schedule conversation rather than a
checkbox — tell us the destination at quote stage and we confirm feasibility and timing before you
commit. Duties and taxes at the receiving end are the recipient's.

Why do you publish the compliance limit?

Because saying clearly what we cannot do saves both sides three months. The Berry Amendment's
domestic-manufacturing requirement is a legal line, not a price we can undercut. A supplier who
implies "we can do anything" and a buyer who hopes the line is flexible meet later, at customs,
with money already spent. We would rather be the supplier whose limits are printed on the page —
and whose prices, minimums and timelines are printed next to them.
