Some folks in DC were asking about the coin necklaces that some of us made. The ring that holds the coin for the keychain or necklace is called a "bezel." Below is correspondence with the gentleman I got the bezels and chains from four years ago. This size is a little loose; I put a layer of tape around one coin that worked well, also a little clear silicone caulk worked on another, just tightened up the fit a little. Peel the excess away after it dries.

Hello Bob,
I have a coin bezel either in plain sterling silver, Sterling Silver rope bezel, or Gold filled rope bezel 40.6 X 3.05mm which will work very well with your challlenge coin, and if you order the bezel from me I will send you a spacer to use if you need it.
Sterling silver plain bezel $7.95
Sterling silver full rope bezel $21.95
14K Gold filled rope bezel $32.85

Subject: Challenge Coin Bezel?
I'm looking for bezels for a 40mm x 3mm military "challenge coin." Any chance you might have something that would work?
Thanks,
