    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

    Very cool !
    I drive by Stags all the time...didnt know they made coins as well as great wine ! So, what's the reverse look like, what is it made of, and what exactly is a challenge coin ?

    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,

    Rob

    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:
