Our mission here at (SS) Challenge Coins is to provide those who have served in the United States Navy and their families with quality, American made coins to commemorate the decommissioned and active subs of the submarine service. (SS) Challenge Coins is owned and operated by Navy brat, Shelly Saxton, who has made a business out of something close to her heart. What began as a gift to her father, RMCS(SS) Curtiss Gardner USN (Ret.), blossomed into a company that allows her to give back to those who have served our country.

If you don't see your boat here please contact us at SubmarineCoins@gmail.com . We have many boats that are currently in our request file and we will gladly add yours to our list and will let you know when we get to her.
