NOEL GONZALES Founder / Owner

Slab & Steel was built from a foundation of federal service and a lifelong passion for collecting.

I have served as a federal officer since 2016 and currently work as an explosive detection canine handler, where precision, reliability, and accountability are essential every day. Those same principles guide everything behind Slab & Steel.

Challenge coins have been part of my federal journey from the very beginning. What started as receiving coins quickly became trading, collecting, and ultimately creating them as lasting symbols of mission, craftsmanship, and the bonds formed in service.

Alongside steel, collecting slabs has always been part of the story. Nostalgic trading cards from childhood, sparked a lifelong appreciation for the hunt, the history, and the preservation of collectibles, whether raw or graded.

Slab & Steel represents the meeting point of forged metal and sealed cards, built on service, craftsmanship, and nostalgia.
