This auction is for an original, absolutely authentic, Princess Leia -- Rebel Leader coin, from Kenner's 1985 Power of the Force series. This particular coin was obtainable only as a "mail-away" directly from Kenner.
My name is Ron Salvatore. I am an editor of the Star Wars Collectors Archive (SWCA) website and blog, and I have appeared in several productions devoted to Star Wars toys, including "The Toys that Made Us" and "Plastic Galaxy." I personally obtained this coin over 20 years ago from a former Kenner employee, and I have no doubt as to its authenticity.
