Thanks to other forum! The real picture hit the ebay. Item number 122083626273 on ebay. yes, it is small, round capsule.... Does this coin really represent big contribution of the ST, or RCM really can issue whatever with Star Trek symbolic and using people sentiments to sell to public? You'll decide, to leave it in collection, or cancel RCM order or re-sell quick to make some money. Edited by Silveroid

 So true... This is good seller. Do not recall him selling "hot" items, and had always good experience, buying some items from him. Will be interesting to watch the auction. Edited by Silveroid

What? When did Spock ever drive 1964 Buick Riviera?  I saw all the TV shows series and the movies, don't recall seeing him driving one of those lol. Someone correct me if I missed it some how. |

Leonard Nimoy, in his full Spock getup, who celebrated
the success of the original Star Trek TV series by buying
himself a 1964 Buick Riviera and then posing with his new
ride on the studio's backlot. http://io9.gizmodo.com/a-tiny-spock...s-1781245950 |

Truth be told, Nimoy's automotive legacy wasn't exactly in the Steve McQueen territory and being the King of Logic isn't the same as being the King of Cool. But what there was, was quite fascinating. One of the most frequently circulated period images of Nimoy was shot in front of his 1963 Buick Riviera. It was a particularly amusing photo since it was taken in full costume and makeup on either the Desilu or Paramount lots during the shooting of the first season of "Star Trek" in 1966. The then-3-year-old Riv sported a license plate frame from Lauesen Buick, which was on Sepulveda in West L.A. It was parked next to a 1963 or 1964 Corvette that may well have belonged to William Shatner — Logic and Passion parked side-by-side. https://www.hagerty.ca/articles-vid...-automobilesEdited by Northerncoins

Yes, I'd expect staff will get first dibs. I notice several CP Star Trek posters and display stands on sale on ebay. For example 291815436024 |
