Similar to the Challenge Coins that are used widely by various Military Units these MLCCW Coins are ideal for anyone that champions the Right to Keep and Bear Arms by highlighting the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Greek phrase 'ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ' which translates roughly to 'Come and Take Them'. These MLCCW Coins are $15 each (plus Shipping & Handling) and they look exactly like what's pictured but even that doesn't do them justice. A little back story on the Origins of the Challenge Coin —

There are several stories detailing the origins of the challenge coin. According to the most common story, challenge coins originated during World War I. American volunteers from all parts of the country filled the newly formed flying squadrons. Some were wealthy scions attending colleges such as Yale and Harvard who quit in mid-term to join the war. In one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in solid bronze and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed the medallion in a small leather pouch that he wore about his neck. Shortly after acquiring the medallion, the pilots' aircraft was severely damaged by ground fire. He was forced to land behind enemy lines and was immediately captured by a German patrol. In order to discourage his escape, the Germans took all of his personal identification except for the small leather pouch around his neck. In the meantime, he was taken to a small French town near the front. However, he was without personal identification. He succeeded in avoiding German patrols by donning civilian attire and reached the front lines. With great difficulty, he crossed no-man's land. Eventually, he stumbled onto a French outpost. Unfortunately, saboteurs had plagued the French in the sector. They sometimes masqueraded as civilians and wore civilian clothes. Not recognizing the young pilot's American accent, the French thought him to be a saboteur and made ready to execute him. He had no identification to prove his allegiance, but he did have his leather pouch containing the medallion. He showed the medallion to his would-be ex*****oners and one of his French captors recognized the squadron insignia on the medallion. They delayed his ex*****on long enough for him to confirm his identity. Instead of shooting him they gave him a bottle of wine. Back at his squadron, it became tradition to ensure that all members carried their medallion or coin at all times. This was accomplished through challenge in the following manner - a challenger would ask to see the medallion. If the challenged could not produce a medallion, they were required to buy a drink of choice for the member who challenged them. If the challenged member produced a medallion, then the challenging member was required to pay for the drink. This tradition continued on throughout the war and for many years after the war while surviving members of the squadron were still alive.

'The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more...' — John Adams (Excerpt, Letter to Abigail Adams, July 3rd, 1776)

We celebrate our American Independence Day on the Fourth of July and we think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation but that actually happened two days before, on July 2nd, 1776 when the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia voted to approve a Resolution for Independence from Britain, two days before the wording of the Declaration of Independence was finalized.
