U.S. Air Force - C-130 Hercules
Capable of short takeoffs and landings from ill-equipped fields in the roughest environments, the C-130 Hercules primarily performs a tactical mission, air-dropping troops and equipment into hostile areas.
Its unique profile and majestic wingspan make the C-130 is easy to identify; its potency and versatility make it essential to the success of the Air Force mission.
First flown in 1956, the workhorse C-130 operates under multiple Air Force commands, including Air Mobility Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Combat Command, U.S. Air Forces in Europe, Pacific Air Forces, Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve Command. Payloads that have passed its aft loading door and ramp include utility helicopters, armored vehicles, palletized cargo, and of course, military personnel. It can be reconfigured for missions as diverse as Antarctic ice resupply and aeromedical missions, making it perhaps the most adaptable weapon in America's arsenal.
This coin pays tribute to the C-130 Hercules and salutes all those who help maximize this aircraft’s colossal strength in defense of freedom.
Minted in a proprietary brass alloy and given an antique finish, the reverse features the classic Hap Arnold wings of the Air Force with distinctive yet durable enamel in blue and red. This coin is minted using special splash dies which result in a thicker coin with more weight, but also excellent relief and detail that is hallmark of this process. The result is a plane that looks like it will fly right off the coin.

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 and NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. (Please honor this Contract)
