ROCS Challenge Coin WILL NOT BE DONE

[RoninPA]

There's been talk on the forum about a ROCS Challenge Coin. Lets get a feel on how many will actually buy a ROCS coin. This coin may be a metal coin or a poker chip style coin (depending on cost). This poll will run for 90 days to give everyone a chance to see it. You can leave comments.

Ron how about all the above option

[RoninPA]

Rod, I think 3 is plenty to give us the info we need, but thanks for the input

[RoninPA]

BTT, don't forget to vote.

We do invite comments also if you want to ask or suggest something, we want to have the ROCS members involved in the process that's why I started the poll.

Sure would like to know how ROCS members feel about this.

"Sure would like to know how ROCS members feel about this."

I studied this idea and tried to consider all the various options.

I collect memorabilia and such. I enjoy that a lot along with the firearms. But not many share the same passions that I do. That's reflected in the responses I see during displays. I can't recall any display that won top awards that was just items & didn't include guns. Memorabilia is enjoyed by many,, yet those who actively pursue such stuff usually have preferences & don't "buy it all" !
And one way to ensure sales is to keep the choices down.
Too many of an item can get overwhelming & lose it's appeal.
We have the ROCS patches,, and by adding the year to them,, they have an appeal. They are limited to that specific year, and a smaller number of collectors try & get all of them.
Look at the glassware that Ruger has offered over time. The early stuff,, very limited in types & quantities is desired. Nowadays,, there's a huge selection of glassware, & it's lost it's unique appeal to many. And heck,, even some of the early glassware doesn't have a good resale value to where a collector considers buying much of it.

My point is that PERSONALLY,, I feel a challenge coin is a good idea,, but no more than one or two types.

Good post Tyrone, that's what I want to hear, the opinions of the group along with their votes.

I think challenge coin with WBR-1949 and a RST4 on one side and the ROCS logo on the other would be great. 1 coin would suffice for the idea and work for most members
