Customization Options
Metal Finishes
Antique
(Gold/Silver/Bronze/Copper) Rugged, low-sheen, high-contrast. Best for showing off 3D details.
High Polish
(Gold/Silver/Bronze/Copper) High shine, polished. Excellent for painted coins and for accurate color matches.
Black Nickel
A matte, tactical finish perfect for “Stealth” or modern designs.
Dual Plating
We can combine two finishes (e.g., High Polish Gold + Silver) on a single coin for a high-end, two-tone look.
Enamel & Color
Soft Enamel
Metal lines are raised; paint is recessed. You can feel the texture of the design.
Hard Enamel
Paint is flush with the metal and polished flat for a smooth, premium feel.
Epoxy Dome
A clear protective coating, that can be applied thinly or with a domed effect.
Edges
Classic
Standard Flat, Rope Cut, or Reeded Edge (Currency style).
Diamond Cut
Faceted edges that catch the light like a jewel. Choose from Cross Cut, Spur, Oblique, Diamond, Wave, or Petal Cut.
Understanding Challenge Coin Pricing
Custom coins are quoted individually based on your design, but this guide will give you a solid baseline.
Mold & Die Fees (One-Time)
This fee covers the custom steel die used to stamp your specific design. It is a one-time setup cost. Complex 3D molds or custom shapes will have a higher die fee than standard 2D designs.
Quantity Discounts
Quantity is the biggest factor. As you can see in the example below, ordering 100 coins significantly drops the price per coin compared to 50, as the setup costs are distributed across more units.
Design Features
Size, finish, and detail matter. A larger, heavier coin uses more material, while special features like cutouts, diamond edges, or dual-plating add to the final cost.
Sample Pricing (Standard 2D)*
| 50 Qty | 100 Qty | |
|---|---|---|
| 1.50" | $9.30 / ea | $5.95 / ea |
| 1.75" | $11.50 / ea | $7.75 / ea |
| 2.00" | $13.50 / ea | $8.10 / ea |
*Prices are estimates based on a standard 2D design with. Market rates fluctuate and prices are subject to change due to tariffs.

What Customers Say About Their Custom Challenge Coins
Have had the best experience working with Alex, Marty, and Jim at KidderCorp on my custom Commander Coin! Artwork was detailed and seemed to throw off lower-skilled manufacturers, but from the first contact the KidderCorp team has been on it, accommodating the design requests, timeframe (which is tight), and the budget!
We are so excited to see the finished product. I will share a pic as soon as we get it in.
Thank you for your service to and for our country, and for your exceptional service on my project!

I have used Kidder coins now for a few coins and for various units. As a Sergeant Major I had some Brigade coins made, now I am a Warrant Officer and had an idea I wanted out into a special coin. I took a few pictures from the internet, my vision, and submitted to Kidder. I could not be more happier with the final product. The customer service is phenomenal and dialogue from start to finish is terrific. What a great company, owned by a Veteran as well! Great job, again!
