Dual Plating and Upgraded Edging Make Your Challenge Coins Stand Out

Posted by Signature Coins | Tuesday March 19th, 2013 | Topic: Custom Challenge Coins

Dual plating and upgraded edges take ordinary challenge coin designs and turn them into extraordinary designs.  With that being said, we wanted to explain these options to you in detail.  We offer so many different ways to customize your order of challenge coins that we thought it might be helpful for you to know what dual plating and upgraded edging are and how each one adds to the artwork we create for you.

Dual Plating

Dual plating involves two different types of metal. The most popular color combination is gold and silver.  People that want to make their custom challenge coins look distinguished, often choose dual plating to give their design contrast as well as class.

Custom Coin Edges

You can create your own custom edge to reflect the theme of your challenge coin. Custom edges like barbed wire or chains reflect and enhance the theme of your challenge coins. This is a great way to further the custom nature of your coins. People will see them and know that they were created by you and your business, school, organization or club.

Some of our customers get really creative with their edges. You can customize your custom edges as show here:
