Any interest? Being released 6/22/21...$160 and it's a pretty heavy medal.

For some reason this reminds me of Star Wars. "Use the force Luke."
Outside of my interest due to it being a medal
If it had a C-130 or a security forces airman on it, I’d be hard pressed to pass on it. HUA
Pleasant enough piece. Not something I'd pay $160 for though.
"Excellence in all we do"? Man, if the F-35 is excellence, I'd hate to see something half-baked.

Yikes, no, ugly yes. Too bad on that. Really shoddy "artwork" IMO on this one. No style, just plunk a couple of images in there....
Well, just Love coins, period.
It looks like a depiction of a mid-air collision.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
One of the coldest aircraft I ever flew on, an AC-130H flying out of Mogadishu Somalia in the summer. It's pretty darn chilly at 10K feet in an unpressurized aircraft.

Not a big fan of random people on coins.
I like it. But the premium on their medals always scares me off.
It’s repulsive.
For me it’s Bad Lip Reading’s Hostiles On The Hill.
It is a military themed medal and all our troops deserve recognition with such medallic tributes. Cheers, RickO
Ugly art work on a piece of bullion. Medal? The Air Force Commendation is a medal. That is just bullion prettied up to sell and higher than spot.
This has gone back to TBD. 2nd time this has happened. What is going on at the USM?

TBD is the one ounce version.
I agree with your statement regarding our troops deserve everything we can give them, but should we be beaten with the mint dollar stick to have one. What portion of the $160 goes anywhere near the military?

My bad. Thank you. I hadn't seen the one ounce item before.
Also the 2.5 oz. Missing from the schedule. Just checked because I was going for one tomorrow. Not now.

You heard it here first, guess I jumped the gun lol.
The men holding rifles look like West Point cadets.

USAF Stripes on their sleeves, Enlisted, E-4, SrA in the front, kinda hard to see the female in the middle and the male in the background. (Base or USAF) Honor Guard tab on the left sleeve, below the sleeve seam and Dress Aiguillette.

Just noticed that S20MA is back on the schedule ....
Only 5 days to go for this one, but it's so much...$160...for 2.5 oz, you could get a 5 oz silver puck for just $70 more...
Agreed on the price.
$160/2.5 oz. = $64.00/oz., which is nearly 2.5 x spot.
Have an Air Force vet in the family, so I am going to purchase one for him anyway.
That's really very nice of you! Hope he appreciates it. Those are the only sales I think I could justify on these!!!
Godfather (86 y.o) retired Air Force nixed this as he hated the design.
Well, just Love coins, period.
Might pick one up in a few years if near melt. Only if the smallest of premiums is attached

I'm not a fan.
As a USAF veteran I will try for one. I say "try" in anticipation of a smooth Mint transaction.
on sale tomorrow
Any medal collectors interested in this?
Coming in August.
.
There’s a one oz version TBA for CG and AF medals Just noticed in the description for 2.5 medals it sez one oz will be delayed til next year 😳
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
I'll try to grab me one. This may be an interesting series to collect. Being an Army Vet.
Had no problems getting one.

Got one

That human test rejected me but finally acknowledged I was human.
Checked time of success @ 12:04
Is there human test? Just now I tried the checkout process, did not see this.
I tried the checkout process till the "final review", I did not see this.
I got one without experiencing the human test at 12:02.

I guess my flying fingers look like an automated tool. LOL
I started using Chrome browser. Got the reject message. Logged in using Fire Fox keeping Chrome on and at the final check out page. Did the test twice then success. Maybe I'll use Fire Fox in the future.
Got the first email confirmation @ 6:04 HST
11:07 signed on, product in bag, went through to final review - no human test, then it said my order couldn't be processed at this time, try again later or call customer service (which my text reminder said you had to order on line). I hit refresh and the order confirmation page came up. I'm not sure if I have one or not, I more wanted to test the process for the upcoming on sales. We'll see.
it'll take at least 30 minutes for it to show up in "my orders"
