Sequential Numbering & Custom Engraving
Sequential numbering and custom engraving are two upgrades that allow you to add a personal touch to your challenge coins. We can add numbering and custom engraving on the coin’s face or along the edge. Adding numbering or custom engraving team members’ names gives the coin a more profound intrinsic value to those who receive it. It is a constant reminder that they are among the few who had the honor of receiving the challenge coin.

UPGRADE BY ADDING SPECIALIZED COLOR EFFECTS
Adding translucent or glow enamel to your coin can create some exciting effects. We offer an array of colors for both, and depending on how you use them, you can create some seriously cool effects! For instance, adding translucent to a polished coin makes the color more vibrant, or adding glow enamel to a dark metal such as black nickel or black metal makes the colors pop!
Translucent Enamel
Translucent Enamel for Challenge Coins is a very versatile option. You can make several exciting effects, but to do so, it helps to know a few things—first, the plating matters. Translucent enamel on polished metals is more vibrant but takes on a deep, rich tone when applied to antique finishes. However, avoid black metal or nickel when using translucent enamel, as the dark color makes the colors very dark and hard to discern. One other thing to consider is the color of the metal. For instance, translucent coloring on a copper coin will take on a slight reddish hue.Â


Glow-in-the-Dark Enamel
Glow-in-the-Dark enamel is an upgrade option that can help create really cool effects. From glowing binary numbers denoting a cyber division to glowing fingerprints often seen on criminal investigative coins, it can make an ordinary challenge coin extraordinary. Like translucent colors, we have limited glow colors to choose from.
Adding an edge to your coin significantly changes its overall appearance. In general, it gives the coin a much more clean, professional look. Some edges are free, but the ones that make your coin stand out are created by a machine that cuts the edge into the coin. This is why they cost a little extra. The cost of edges is still relatively cheap compared to some of our other upgrade options, so for those looking to vastly improve the look and feel of their coin without a significant upcharge, adding an edge to your custom challenge coin is the way to go!

Hard Enamel
Hard Enamel is an alternative to Soft Enamel, the typical coloring style used on challenge coins. Hard Enamel is often used on pins to give them a luxurious, jewelry-like finish. The main difference is that, unlike Soft Enamel, the colored recessed areas are layered with enamel until it becomes flush with the raised metal and then are plated and polished. It gives the coin’s surface a smooth feel and a more refined, elegant touch!


Epoxy Coating
Epoxy Coating is a clear epoxy resin added over the coin’s surface to produce a hard layer of plastic that helps protect the enamel from damage. There are some drawbacks, such as it can discolor over time.
SilkScreen
Silkscreen is mainly used to capture small details that would otherwise not be producible. It can also add text that varies from coin to coin so that you don’t have to create a new mold for each coin (which would be extremely expensive).


Offset Printed
Offset Printed coins are produced by printing an image onto an adhesive photo paper, inlaying it on the coin, and covering it with a protective layer of epoxy resin. They are great for pictures of loved ones or any time you want a realistic photo.
