Yea, the company is actually hounding me to get the manual out. After working all day I am really tired to even think about it. I will probably have it out this weekend. I really like how these guys are minting them. They are coming out really clean and nice.

The Triton coin is (as my friend puts it) beautimous! Love it - I'm sure my son will, too.

Craig, you do such a good job with it and what the ladies DON'T know (and I am going to tattle) is that you helped in the designing of the Triton...were you also in on the JFK one?
I know how it must make you feel to be a part of the striking of these coins. Challenge coins are very special.
Thank you.

Please provide a link to where we can purchase these! I've looked at ebay and the challenge coin sites, but didn't find this one.
Thanks in advance!

ohcheet - You can get them on Ebay.
Just type "USS Triton" and "Ship 12"
or
"JFK" and "Ship 9"
FTLW - Yep, I'm designing all the ships coins. The company that is selling them don't really have a complete background about the Navy. So, I told them that I would help them as long as they donated part of their profits to my own website (NavyDEP.com) to pay for bandwidth and software support. I don't work for free. ~ha
The USS Triton Ship 12 - Release June 15th
The USS John F. Kennedy Ship 9 - Released July 18th
The USS Chicago Ship7 is getting minted now,
The USS Kearsarge Ship 11 is what I working on now.
If anyone is really bored, they can read my manual on the USS Triton about why I designed it the way I designed it....

I received mine yesterday (ship 9/div 276) and it's beautiful!!
He already has a coin from one of the Admiral's he met during DEP so I know how much this one will mean to him....I highly recommend it!
Thanks for being here and for all the support!
