Out of nowhere came a Challenge Coin...

...inside the shipment of wine from my favorite vineyard!

Pretty Cool as I have received many orders from them in the past and then this! Thanks Stag's Leap WS, My Favorite Vino image

    That is really very cool. I've been there a couple of times and they are next to one of my favorites, Clos Du Val - love their Stags Leap Reserve Cab.

    Imagine if every winery did that? How about a Screaming Eagle challenge coin for those post an eagle threads? It would be a really hard set!

    Artemis is indeed yummy as it's like artwork, they pick and choose from other Napa Valley ST vineyards and make it happen! I'm a sucker for the Fay Hillside release, and the SLV 2006 block-4 was unbelievable. They have a beautiful estate and although I don't like the price, I like the best so I guess someone has to give...and it ain't them image

    Nice,

    Are you going to crack that out and send it in for grading or just leave it in the original holder?image
    All the best,

    Here is a shot of the reverse. I think its bronze. I have never owned a challenge coin, but now that I do here is what I found Challenge Coin Link

    I guess this could be a Screaming Eagle challenge coin - two oz. .999 silver, sold by Limited Mintage of the Intaglio Mint for just a few dollars over spot:
