Sign Up For Star Wars Autoshipment And Get A Free Bonus!
First a confession. I had a complex auto search set up on eBay for these coins and today - Thanksgiving, I had my first hit! This was originally going to be an "eBay Treasures" article. I eagerly and happily used "Buy It Now" for the first three coins (I always make sure to get one for myself before posting links for the world, sorry). Some of the wording in the auction sounded clumsy and when reading all three auctions, a collecting red flag was raised. After some searching online I discovered that I had made a classic faux pas by buying the first item available without proper research. Now you can learn from my mistake, save some money, and receive a free bonus if you're going to collect the set! |
The three auctions were for a Darth Vader, a Luke Skywalker, and a Princess Leia coin. Each was for $19.99 plus $4.95 postage. Even knowing what I do now, the price was right. What was curious to me was the Princess Leia auction text that says Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are the first two coins in the series, with no mention of Leia in the text. That's what sent me looking. What I found was The Collectors Alliance, Inc.
To sum it up, The Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader silver plated $1 coins from Niue are an introductory pair, and Princess Leia is the first coin in the 38-month release of the remaining coins.
Better yet, if you purchase through the Collector's Alliance the coins will autoship approximately monthly. That means no having to remember or having to chase each coin down individually through eBay. (Also no eBay scalper prices once the coins catch on.)
To top it off, if you receive the first ten coins through the Collectors Alliance, they'll send you free black lacquer collector box.
Yea, I'm going to follow through and pay my eBay seller. But I also ordered the Luke / Vader and Princess Leia coins through Collector Alliance, Inc. The Leia coin says 'free shipping' which I hope will be true for the rest of the coins that follow it, and the box is truly a bonus.
$20 a month for rare Star Wars coins? That's budgetable! Autoship so that I don't have to remember, compete, and possibly pay more? 'Priceless'... and ultimately cheaper! All of the information is below, including links so that you can do it too!
The World's FIRST Star Wars Coins!
Officially licensed by Lucas Films | Official Legal Tender Coins
The world's first official Star Wars coins are headed to a galaxy near you!
Star Wars, the American space epic created by George Lucas, is being transformed into legal tender coins for the first time.
The first two coins being released in the series are Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Each silver clad proof coin prominently displays a full color image pulled straight from the classic films. Making this even more special is the worldwide edition limit of only 50,000 ... that's less than 1,000 coins per state in the USA!
Each Star Wars coin is an official issue of Niue and struck by the New Zealand Mint. Each 40 mm $1 coin is encapsulated and accompanied by an individually numbered certificate of authenticity and character card.
JOIN US ON AN EPIC JOURNEY AND COLLECT THEM ALL!
