I want to share some cool Kiss items that I got from a friend this weekend.
I have wanted this particular coin for a while and have known my friend had it stuffed away in a box .
Upon fingering the box , I came across other cool coins.
I now have the Australia 1980 Kiss coin (in Gold):
I also received both red and silver 1979 Kiss Mardi Gras coins:
This is the one I really wanted. 1983 COTN Mardi Gras coin :
THINK: Porter Wagoner

I was never into the coins...because it felt like they were WAY too mass produced to be "special" or worth the price. But those older ones were definitely produced in much more limited quantities...and were cooler to boot.
Open your window and see the real world
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies
In a heart afraid to listen

Which coins are you talking about that were mass produced? Are there other ones besides these?
Aren't the Mardi Gras ones tokens to be used at the time only?
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!
Who is on the coin Ace or VV
My eyes are shit from Right to Left
Paul, then Vinnie or Eric, then Gene, then Eric or Ace?
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing. I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.
R-L it's P, E, G and....................................................V! Though to be honest, V looks like Tommy!!!

Sadly they were bootlegged at some point and if you have one they are easily spotted. The sides of the coin have a seam on them where the originals do not. Also the huge dead give away is the finnish. I have one original gold coin that is like gold chrome, and is like a mirror, the boots are not like this at all. I had some of the bootleg coins at one time. It was a big wharehouse find that was really a bunch of bull... as they didnt compare with the originals in any way. The gold was dull, and the edges were un even and rough and they had that seam on the side of the coin where the press plates came toether... I did find an original on ebay... and the photo is good enough to see the nice finnish. Hope you all have aoriginals....
