Ok, as a Christmas gift this year I've decided I want to give the prior military members of my family a personal challenge coin. I've found a place that will do it for me for fairly cheap considering what the process entails. Here's the dilemma. I have no idea what design I want. I do know that I want the Eagle, Globe and Anchor, my stripes, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan on it somewhere. So anyone who's up to the challenge please shoot me some ideas and I'll see to it you get one of them as well. Keep in mind though I'm only going to have 50 made(smallest order) and need 30 for my family.

That's a really sweet idea! Here's what I could come up with in a few minutes.

I can try and "Coinify" SgtM's design if you would like to see what the final design would look like.

I liked SgtM's design.. so I hope he doesn't mind. I took it a bit further and "tried" to make it look more like a coin.

The crest is just an example that I could fit in.

Hope this helps, it was fun thinking of different things!

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be involved.

Curtis' design came out much better than mine so I will refrain from posting my design.
