Do You Collect POTF Coins?

[DSJ™]

Very nice display for the coins. How long did it take to complete the set?

Thanks for sharing.

It took me 3 years to get all the coins, some were hard to come by, but it was fun

A friend of the family, who is a retired carpenter made it for me!

Very nice, thats really awesome. I actually may do soemthing like that with my set seeinghow nice it looks. I think I am going to hold off though for the 63rd coin before I do any framing. I know i will get it eventually. Perhaps in 4 years when I finish getting my MA and Ph.D. Here's hoping to finding a job and having some spending money then and not being broke the way I am now

As for time, it took me a while as well, probably 2 years. Some coins are just so hard to come by.

[Carl]

Well I had the frame made for 62, so I have no plans to the 63rd coin, out of interest what where the hardest coin you found to get hold of?

[evenflow]

Well i think the hardest ones were the Skiff coin and the Hoth Trooper. They are pretty tough. The Hoth Trooper coin was the last one i got to finish my collection. Boba Fett is not really a tough find, but is over priced all the time so i waited til i found one at a reasonable price. How about you, what was difficult for you to find.

I also have this smaller Luke X-Wing coin that pops up every one and a while. I am sure someone has a pic of it. I have read alot about it and most people have no idea what it was going to be used for. Its the same Luke X-wing as the POTF coin, but the back has a different description and a little Yoda. In my eyes it is another POTF coin, so i figured why not it didnt cost much.

[Carl]

The two that I was waiting on for nearly 6 months was Luke Hoth and Greedo, I got sailskiff and Hoth trooper early on for resonable prices, the only other coins I have are the ewok and droids series.
 I thought about collecting Prototypes but I had enough after 3 years and wanted to go back to vintage moc.

[evenflow]

Well I have all the Droids and Ewoks coins as well because I have a complete set of the figures MOMC. I have both versions of C-3PO as well.  I keep hearing about a gold Droids POTF version of the R2 coin but have yet to see one.

I also have the 3 coins that came with the bendy figures a few years back.

[Carl]

the only droids coin i need loose is the A Wing pilot coin (loose)I thought about the droids prototype coins but I have decided against  it, because it could get expensive, so I decided to avoid variations all together. the 3 bend em i havent bothered with.....yet!

[evenflow]

I hear you about the prototype coins, it can be really expensive. It wuld kill me to have the coins with out the figures anyway.

As for the variations, I would like to pick up a few of those but have never come across any.

[Carl]

keep looking on ebay, variations and prototypes are always poping up now and again!

Woah, just watched an auction for Yak Face coin.

Last 17 Yak Face coin    

[Morgbug]

Oh yeah, that's why I don't collect the coins. 

I liked his instructions though, pretty direct fellow.  I'd be happy dealing with him/her.

[evenflow]

Yeah but think how awesome you would feel if you had a whole set 

[Morgbug]

Yeah but think how awesome you would feel if you had a whole set 

Oh yeah, would be very cool.  But a year + of chasing vintage on ebay has tired me right out.  It's a nice thought and if I see some cheap, I'll pick them up.  Amanaman is lonely.

I'm going to bump this after someone directed me over here.     So Dale, do you have all of 'em?

Wow, 62 coins.  That would take a lot of work to get them all.
