Department of Defense Pentagon Force Protection Agency
As the organization honored with the task of “protecting those who protect the nation,” the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) expertly safeguards the members and grounds of the Pentagon so the Department of Defense can safely pursue its critical task of overseeing America’s military operations.
As a response to the evil terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the PFPA is a civilian defense agency established on May 3, 2002 and stands ever ready to defend the Pentagon’s community amongst current and future threats. It is responsible for protecting the people and infrastructure of the 280-acre area that covers the Pentagon as well as safeguarding the Navy Annex and surrounding facilities in the National Capitol Region.
An elite team of law enforcement officers consisting of United States Pentagon Police is joined by teams of criminal investigative agents, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear technicians and anti-terrorism personnel to maintain a determined vigilance over those who lead America’s defenses.
The obverse of the coin depicts an Eagle with outstretched wings perched on top of the Pentagon, symbolizing America’s bold readiness to defend at whatever the cost. The reverse features the seal of the Department of Defense. Minted in a brass alloy, this coin contains rich enamel accents on both its obverse and reverse sides.

I protect my coins in either a PVC or vinyl coin pouch, flip, zip bag and/or bubble wrap to protect them during storage and shipment. I am starting to make an effort to get a little more eco friendly, so I hope to only use recycled packaging in the future, to include newspaper or tissue paper. But rest assured, your coin(s) won't get scratched in transit from my mailbox. Coins that aren't packaged safely are a major pet peeve of mine and I won't skimp when it comes to that.

EVERY PAYPAL PURCHASE QUALIFIES YOU FOR A 10% CASH BACK REBATE!
Payment must be sent within 5 days of closing of this auction. If sent by mail, you must let me know it has been sent to avoid the item being re-listed. If payment is received, by Monday 8am EST, you can be sure it will get to the post office by Tuesday at the latest, most likely Monday. Other days of the week are more sporadic.
Please note that there is a handling charge included with the posted shipping and insurance price. This is to defray the miscellaneous costs of shipping your product in packaging that will keep it safe during the shipping and handling process. For each purchase, International buyers are required to pay $1 for insurance. This is to protect you and me from the high level of theft in these transactions. Because of fraud and theft by a few bad apples, I won't be selling "lots" of more than 1 item to any non-US addresses any more. I appologize to all of you who are honest, but I am sure you understand why I am doing this. I gladly ship to FPO/APO addresses.
UNDERSTAND, THAT MY SHIPPING CHARGE MAY BE MORE THAN THE COST OF YOUR STAMP. NO NEED TO LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DUE TO YOU AGREEING TO THIS FEE, BY CLICKING CONFIRM. INTERNATIONAL S&H IS MORE THAN DOMESTIC, BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR YOUR PACKAGE. I AM VERY SORRY IF YOU FEEL THE CHARGES ARE TOO MUCH FOR YOU.
FeedBack is a Very Important Part of the eBay Auction Process. If you have any problems, let's see if we can work it out.
If payment isn't received by 14 days, you can expect your Unpaid Item Strike. (Please honor this Contract)
IF ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS INVOICE, YOU ARE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE PURCHASE SHIPPING CHARGES, AND IT SAYS 60 CENTS FOR PURCHASING ANOTHER, THAT IS INACCURATE. I HAVE IT PROGRAMMED IN EBAY TO BE 49 CENTS SHIPPING (PLUS 11 CENTS INSURANCE) FOR THE EXTRA ITEM(S), ONLY IF THAT IS AN IDENTICAL ITEM TO THE FIRST ONE PURCHASED. WHAT EBAY DOESN'T ACCURATELY EXPLAIN TO YOU IS THAT IF YOU ARE PURCHASING SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THE DISCOUNT IS JUST $1 OFF FOR EACH ADDITIONAL PURCHASE. I DON'T DO COMBINED SHIPPING EITHER, BECAUSE IN MANY CASES THAT WOULD MEAN I LOSE MONEY ON THE SALE. I DO OFFER REBATES, SO YOU CAN SAVE MONEY ON SHIPPING THAT WAY. THIS IS A BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND I DON'T NEED PEOPLE BUYING FROM ME, WHO THINK MY SHIPPING CHARGES ARE TOO HIGH. THEY CAN PLEASE KINDLY SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE. I WILL UNDERSTAND AND NOT BE OFFENDED. WHAT DOES OFFEND ME IS COMPLAINING AFTER THE FACT, SINCE MY SHIPPING CHARGES ARE CLEARLY POSTED. THAT WOULD LIKELY GET YOU BLOCKED FROM SHOPPING IN MY STORE.
