It is a very common request to have an order of custom challenge coins created faster than our normal turnaround time. It is a possibility to have them manufactured in 4 to 6 business days but we do want you to know that some sacrifices may be made to the overall design of the product. With that being said, if your main goal is to have something in hand to give out at a conference or to present at a ceremony, you will still have a great looking challenge coin to share with others. To simplify the production end of things, it is best to eliminate colors from your challenge coin design. The absence of this detail will help speed up the overall turnaround time. This means that your product can be created entirely in a metal finish of your choice. We highly recommend antiqued platings such as antiqued gold, silver or copper. This is a classy substitute for colored coins and is great for presentation purposes like awards ceremonies and banquets. Metal challenge coins are very popular so it isn’t much of a compromise to order products without color. In fact, you can see this for yourself by visiting our gallery. There you will see a number of antiqued metal coins. The link to view the photos is http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com/artworkgallery.html. The challenge coin shown here was created for USCGC Decisive which is based out of Pascagoula, Mississippi. It is void of color and antique plated which made it an ideal candidate for faster than normal production. In addition to being timeless, it also is very personal. It doesn’t take much time to realize just how valuable of an award a custom challenge coin like this is. Recipients of challenge coins can feel the weightiness of their award in their hand. They can feel the raised metal and different textures included on the surface of the coin.
