These specially commissioned challenge coins, in the shape of a now retired United States Secret Service Special Agents badge, represent the 9/11 attack by Islamic terrorists on the United States of America. These challenge coins are only available to members of the United States Secret Service that were directly or indirectly involved with the New York USSS field office at the time of the attack. Each coin is numbered; the face of the badge is the replica, and is about 25% smaller than the actual badge. On the reverse side there is either the American flag, the American blue line flag(representing law enforcement), or the colors of the Irish flag or the Italian flag to represent the family background of many of the Special Agents in the New York Field Office, along with the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Secret Service Old Star. The line across the front of the badge says "9/11/2001 NEVER FORGET 9/11/2021. The badge was called the coffin badge by the Special Agents that carried it from 1971 until 2002 when the US Secret Service was moved from the Department of Treasury to the new Department of Homeland Security by President George W Bush. At that time a more traditional badge was given to the Special Agents of the USSS. I was fortunate to receive a Blue Line flag badge with the 911 serial number and carried the coffin badge for over twenty years.
All proceeds from the sale of this image will be donated to the Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service Foundation.
