This Gold Star Wars Classic Darth Vader Coin…I would Highly Recommend this coin and the entire Star Wars Classic Collection!TYLER - FL United States, 11 December 2015
Received coin yesterday here in the States (fast shipping). I am VERY happy with it. The coin looks very clean/sharp. It goes along great with the Darth Vader coin before it and I look forward to what comes next!R2-D2
A resourceful astromech Droid, R2-D2 served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol Droid C-3PO.
With a limited worldwide mintage of only 10,000 of each coin, don't delay and
