Thanks Craig!!! Anything you can do to help us out getting one would be awesome!!! I know that our SR is interested in challenge coins and I think this would be an awesome graduation present for him!!

I wish I would have thought to start a company based on PIRgifts!! That is a gold mine just waiting to be dug up I think!

Hey Craig,
Nice looking coin, bought one for my sailor who is at Great Lakes RTC and is assigned to the USS Triton, I am going to give him his first challenge coin after his PIR.

Love the looks of the USS Triton cannot wait to see the USS Kearsarge. To be honest I did not know they had ship names that went with the number. Our son is in Ship 11 USS Kearsarge and he PIR's 09/07/2012! Hope to be able to hand him a coin on that day. Thanks for doing this I think it is a wonderful idea!

I'm having problems with the Kearsarge since it is actually base on four ships. The engraver has sent this back to me 3 times now. The coin is only 1 3/4 inch, and I really like telling the whole story. So I have to redesign it yet again to get it the way it should be....I think I can have it ready by Sept 7th. Since 80% of the design is already finished.

I bet you are having a hard time with the USS Kearsarge. After I found out about Ship 11 USS Kearsarge I googled it, to learn more about it. Now I am even more excited to see what you come up with. Good Luck!

If you do one for Ship 03 USS Hopper, I would definitely order one.

I agree with you Guppy. I was in the USS Hopper as well...compartment D-01! Thanks Craig...those are awesome!

Hey Craig, I'm also looking forward to seeing Ship 11. Any update on completion? And once complete, where can I purchase?

Hey Sandra - The USS Kearsarge is a really difficult coin for me. The reason is it has 4 different ships it's name for. It's really had to put four things in a coin that is only 1 3/4 inch. I am trying to figure out something that will mean things to the sailors. I am a perfectionist and have to have everything correct. I actually have about 80 percent of the coin done. I just need to figure out the 4 ship thing.
