Is a commemorative coin medalion, when Echostar launches a new satellite
it gives this coin medalions to all the employees,
at list here with us is been like that. On the launch of Echostar 9
corporate sent us a box of 50 pieces one per employee and unfortunatley
it was delivered by UPS to the wrong address our local service center,
and receiving there at the service center denied to ever received them.
Later on we find out that 3 employees from the service center got fired becouse of that incident and we never recoup those coins.
and thats the reason why am looking for one. I know some offices
some people got more that one and that the ones I will like to see i they are
interested on giving up one for $$. I'am posting a picture of it so you can see how they look like,Thank you

I have an Echostar VII Launch Medal, Cape Canaveral Florida and an Echostar VIII Launch Medal, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.

I received both while employed by Echostar and no longer have a use for either. Anyone interested in purchasing for a very reasonable price please reply to this thread.

Thanks!

Take it from me...there are NO Echostar 9 medallions. Those medallions were not manufactured and distributed.

Must be nice to get medals for someone else's work. I have some pennies left from my Dish pay that I would sell reasonably! (HaHa) Good Luck! Looks like you have some bites already.

I once worked at Dish Network and received an Echostar VIII Launch collector coin. If anyone is interested in buying it let me know and we can work something out. I'm not sure of the going rate but I'm pretty sure we can work out a fair price.
