Patriotchallengecoins Reviews 

I am writing this review to share one of the most frustrating and disheartening experiences I’ve ever had with a business. I placed a $500 order with Patriot Challenge Coins, which presents itself as a veteran-led, U.S.-based company operating out of Georgia and Texas. I was led to believe I was supporting a reputable, American-run business that valued integrity, especially one catering to service members and their units.

Unfortunately, what followed was nothing short of a nightmare. After I made my payment, the owner, Brett Lynch, failed to follow through on the work he agreed to do. Despite repeated attempts to get updates or resolution, Brett became evasive and unresponsive, leaving me with the strong impression that he was attempting to scam me out of my investment. I was never provided the product I paid for, nor was any satisfactory explanation or remedy offered.

Digging deeper into the company’s background, I discovered troubling inconsistencies. Although Patriot Challenge Coins brands itself as veteran-led and American-based, further research revealed that Brett’s wife is the actual listed owner of the company, and that they outsource the majority—if not all—of their coin manufacturing to China. This lack of transparency feels like a deliberate misrepresentation, especially for a business that markets itself on patriotic and military values.

The situation escalated to the point where my fiancé and several of our associates were forced to file a police report with our local department against Brett and Patriot Challenge Coins in order to seek reimbursement. The stress, frustration, and sense of betrayal we’ve endured have made this one of the worst customer experiences of my life.

I would strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Patriot Challenge Coins or its ownership under any circumstances.

Wish I could give this horrible company zero stars!

My fiancé has been solely dedicated to military service since he was 19 years old. There are tolls that come from being engaged to a man in the military, any military wife, gf or fiancé can attest to this. However we make do. We get through it. One thing for certain that we learn early on, (at least I did) is that any fight they have at home, we stand side by side and fight with them.
My fiancée Justin had only wanted to have metals made for his group by Patriot Challenge Coins.

He invested over five hundred dollars, and wanted to give it to a veteran ran company he thought he could trust.
Well that ended with him at our towns local police station making a statement about Brett Lynch trying to scam him out of giving back his money.
I am appalled at how a company could actually still be in business after the ordeal Justin, his friends and myself went thru.
Patriot Challenge Coins are crooks, lie about material's, have zero morality and should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
Avoid them at all costs.

STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!!

In early March a group of friends contacted Brett Lynch of Patriot Challenge Coins. The idea was to have two separate coins made. Being that our friends are either active or retired military, we wanted to support a small veteran owned business.

In doing so, the coins we were asking Brett to make were private and had certain elements that we did not want shared with the general public.
For this reason we were instructed to use a DBA/pseudonym email.

We had made a deposit of $1200 in early march and made it known that we wanted our coins to be sourced in America.

We also made sure that Brett would regard our images and coins as private and not share our information, images or designs with anyone.

Brett informed us in email, that he never posted, revealed or shared customer information and that his customers information and images would be safe.

During the first couple weeks of April, information had surfaced about Brett Lynch possibly sharing information we had given him.

In order to protect the integrity and security of the images and information, we had then asked Brett to sign a standard NDA.

Upon receiving our email request, he then once again assured us that there was no reason to sign an NDA, that he did not share customer information or images.


This in itself was a red flag.
We then proceeded to contact other individuals about these actions, so they could advise on the next steps.

We were told to send another email asking Brett to sign a standard NDA; he ignored the
messages for a week.

At the same time more information was coming in about our images and information being broadcasted on public domains, from Brett Lynch and his wife Eva Lynch, who is co-owner of Patriot Challenge Coins, and Green Clover Legacy LLC.

One week from the date our coins were supposed to be made, Brett emailed us and told us that he had spoken with people about us and would not be making our coins or fulfilling our order.
This information lined up with the information that surfaced about Brett and Eva sharing our information without our permission.

These behaviors completely violated standard business ethics.
While also showing us, that his claims mentioned in previous emails, about maintaining customer privacy was false, and that he did indeed share personal information.

We immediately requested all our funds back as we did not ask for him to stop making our coins and this was a standard goods and services transaction.

Brett had then informed us that he would send a paper check to a pseudonym when he already knew the name on the order that paid him.

This kind of childish behavior went on for 3 days. We would ask for our money back. He would say he would send us a paper check in the mail to a pseudonym.

In this time, we had been in contact with a legal representative and the authorities.

We informed him of this, and he then sent us a fake refund receipt, again with the pseudonym name on it. We showed this to the authorities.

When it came time to take action we ACTUALLY had to involve the police dept in the town Brett lives in, in Powder Springe GA. along with the local PD where we live.

We also explained that if we did not have our funds back we would also be filing four
𝐵𝑅𝐸𝐴𝐶𝐻 𝑂𝐹 𝐵𝑈𝑆𝐼𝑁𝐸𝑆𝑆 𝐸𝑇𝐻𝐼𝐶𝑆 suits, one for each person who paid Brett, and one for each person who paid Eva.

We were advised by counsel to claim both individuals listed as owners for reasons of investigative purposes that may come down the road.

Brett had finally paid us our money back after 3 days of sheer hell.

Upon further information that has since surfaced in recent days, we have decided we will be moving forward with legal action.

Go to any and I mean ANY other coin mfc, but DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR 𝑃𝐴𝑇𝑅𝐼𝑂𝑇 𝐶𝐻𝐴𝐿𝐿𝐸𝑁𝐺𝐸 𝐶𝑂𝐼𝑁𝑆/ 𝐶𝑂𝐼𝑁 𝑀𝐴𝑆𝐸𝑅 𝐷𝐸𝑆𝐼𝐺𝑁𝑆/ 𝐺𝑅𝐸𝐸𝑁 𝐶𝐿𝑂𝑉𝐸𝑅 𝐿𝐸𝐺𝐴𝐶𝑌 𝐿𝐿𝐶.
