This rare first in the history of U.S. currency gives serious and inexperienced numismatic enthusiasts a valid and compelling reason to buy one of the limited 750,000 Challenger coins before they sell, according to the conservation group. “This beautiful collector`s item is a wonderful and lasting gift for our children and grandchildren,” said AEF President Al Cecere. “And a portion of the sale price of each piece will help protect the bald eagle, a precious national treasure, for generations to come.” Customer reviews, including reviews of product stars, help customers learn more about the product and decide if it`s the right product for them.
