I see it as a little disrespectful for both parties (selling the coin and buying the coin). However I can come to understand reasoning behind it depending on what those reasons are.
For example, if I lost a coin I would most definitely try to find and purchase another. If I was in dire need of money and could make some by selling my coin, I would sell it.

SPC Moore, good point. Had not thought about replacing one. I'll have to get a new stack!

SGM (Join to see) - I think people buying coins (not to replace a lost one) is pretty low. Especially if it's to undergird a phony career or help them round out their stolen Valor portfolio.

I earned all my coins, selling it seems disrespectful to all the work or shamming I put into my coins, to say nothing of the unit I was in, or the person giving/nominating me for a coin. I've had to purchase a couple of carbon-copies when stuff happens like my wallet gets lost or stolen, which happened three times in the span of two months. =/

Lame... The coins are for you, selling them cheapens them. Why would anyone want to buy them?

For the seller, it's your coin, so whatever floats your boat... As for the buyer though, I could only hope they are just replacing a lost coin..

It is their coin, let them sell it. They obviously don't feel as strongly about them as the person does who awarded them.
I personally will not sell any of the coins I have been awarded, they mean too much.

SGM (Join to see) SGM I would never sell mine on ebay ever. They mean to much to me. But if they want to more power to them. They must not not feel the same about them like SSG Christopher Parrish or myself does.

I don't understand why anyone would sell them on EBAY. All of mine will be given to my son to keep in the family when the time is right.

SGM (Join to see) I think it is BULL SHIT!!! As it has said by others it is disrespectful. As someone who had a my name on a command coin along with my Skipper, I would be very upset if I came across a coin that we had given out being sold. I know of several people that have across their personal coins being sold. I have high regard for every coin I have been given, and every coin I have given was given for a reason. I would sell my one blood before I sold any of my coins. I have a fit when I momentarily displace the two coins that I always carry. A bit of a rant there, sorry.

I think it's ridiculous, however they can do whatever they want. This is a free country. They served in the armed forces to keep it that way. Let them be.

SCPO Gosnell, you may be on to something there. We can make a coin that says BS! to recognize BS...
