Description: I am selling a single, brand new, mint condition, United States Marine Corps (USMC) Presidential Helicopters Program Office (PMA-274) Official Commanding Officer's Challenge Coin awarded to amazing aircrew and acquisition workforce members for supporting the VH-92A Patriot, VH-3D Sea King, and VH-60N Whitehawk helicopter programs. The coin has two distinct sides. First, the heads or front side of the coin displays the Presidential Helicopters Program Office (PMA-274) command seal/logo (in full color). On the back or tails side of the coin, you see the Marine Corps' iconic Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (EGA) seal/logo, the PMA-274 Commanding Officer's Colonel rank insignia ("eagle"), and the Colonel's message to recipients of the coin, "Presented by the Program Manager for Outstanding Performance." This is a brushed/polished-style metal coin, with a diameter of 1.75 inches (1 3/4 inches) and weighing 1.6 ounces. This is the current version being presented today to pilots, aircrew, and other people working at the Presidential Helicopters Program Office (PMA-274). This brand new, revised version, of the command challenge coin was produced in the USA and issued in January 2024! The VH-92A Patriot, VH-3D Sea King, and VH-60N Whitehawk helicopters' mission is to fly the President and Vice President of the United States of America, other heads of state, and other official parties in support of national missions and interests. The VH-92A has begun to replace the aging VH-3D and VH-60N helicopters presently providing support to the Presidential Lift mission. The Presidential Helicopters Program Office (PMA-274) is charged with developing, fielding, and sustaining the VH-92A to support Marine Helicopter Squadron One's (HMX-1) strategic, no fail, mission. The VH-92A declared initial operating capability (IOC) in December 2021 and is being phased in now to fly the President. The Commanding Officer of PMA-274, a Marine Corps Colonel, issues these exact coins to VH-92A pilots and to individuals who provide outstanding support for the program. This makes these coins both very rare and difficult to obtain. Do not buy the knock off, face, junk coins, that are out there. This coin is 100% the real deal, not a reproduction!
