Early on when WorthPoint was just getting started (this is middle of 2007) I was fortunate to be approached for my interest in presidential/White House memorabilia, the challenge coins being just one. However, it has become clear that there is an entirely commercial aspect to collecting challenge coins now, that is, commercial firms are producing them and selling them through gift shops and such. So it is hard, sometimes, to know which one is authentic and which ones are made solely for commercial resale. Based on your email name, are you finding this still to be true today? Do you have a large collection yourself? Let me know. Tom Carrier Thanks.
