Coining A Galaxy

This is the Signed Limited Edition copy of the book. Signed by both writers as well as the Editor. In 1984, with strong competition from other boys' toys and no new Star Wars film on the horizon, Kenner released Collector's Coins to include with each action figure sold, in a last-ditch attempt to inject excitement into a waning toy-line. Although unsuccessful at the time, today these coins are admired and coveted by collectors worldwide! Spanning 82 pages, Coining a Galaxy explores the phenomenon of Kenner's Vintage POWER OF THE FORCE, DROIDS & EWOKS Star Wars Collector Coins...from their concept and creation to their circulation and their untimely cancellation! Including a Coin Gallery depicting every known Kenner Star Wars Collector Coin, classified according to rarity, with pre-production and unreleased coins, text outlines and a checklist with price guide! Written by James Gallo and Mark Salotti with Layout by Jeff Correll.
