Great coin, but those ears could knock your eye out

 

The logical choice.

Yah, I wasn't a "huge" Star Trek fan, but I certainly watched all of the original series many times while growing-up ... oh, and most of the other spin-off series as well (yah, I was certainly a fan, but I never attended any of the conventions and/or bought much of the merchandise) ........ okay fine, I was a pretty huge fan of Star Trek (but not an awkward "out-going" fan) .... well, except at a few parties, but that was different, right?

*awkward*

anyway ... I was definitely a bit rattled when Spock died (he was certainly part of my up-bringing)

 

Sweet Romulus, icerain

 

Oh sorry, where are my coin-manners?!

=> please post all of your Star Trek coins, your Constantine-II coins, Constantine bros and family, etc ...

Oh frick ... just post some coins => it's Friday night and my first day of vacation!!

yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Const*****

 

Did I forget anybody?

... should Licinius be in here too?

Sadly, I don't have a Constantius Gallus

 

Ummm, was it wrong of me to buy this "piece of coin"?





(yah, sometimes old habits are hard to break)

 

Steve, you'll be happy to know Spock is still alive in the hearts and minds of the young; last evening my 7-yr old grandson did the divided-finger deal and said "Live long and prosper."

You know, they could have tempted my money if it wasn't colorized, I really hate that "effect" but to each his own. I'm a huge Star Trek fan...work too much to see the latest film...

Anyway, that first coin - what an ear!

I'll toss some related coins at ya soon!

 

LOVE that 'spock' type @stevex6...but I'm missing any of those so...

How about a Constantius/Phoenix mound and a Crispus and altar??

BTW: I confess, I've watched about EVERY show of the Star-Trek series about 50 times...

 

Thanks for posting, Mikey-Z ... great coins
