I have been holding on to this Mardi Gras Doubloon for several years and I have decided to let someone else enjoy it as much as I have. This is coin is so rare you will probably never see one again. In my world of coin collecting I might come across one of these about every million coins or doubloons that I search through. Not only is this one of the hottest and most sought after Kiss memorabilia as far as coins are concerned, it is in Gem Mint condition too.
This doubloon was minted for the 1983 Kiss Concert here in my hometown of New Orleans Louisiana, Creatures of the Night. Approximatly 10,000 of these were minted for a audience of over 30,000 people. Needless to say not everybody got one and as the years have passed I can tell that hardly any of these remain. After hurricane Katrina in 2005 almost all my doubloons were lost and I know this is the case for many other New Orleanians. It hard to put a value on something like this but I am going to start this auction at 19.99 and let you decide.
Get your bid in early so you can have this time less piece of Rock and Roll History by one of the most beloved Rock Bands EVER, Kiss.
The exact description of the doubloon is a 15 gauge anodized aluminum coin with reeded edges and the front side featuring the heads of Kiss in costume engraved in the doubloon with the Kiss wording at the top and 1983 date at the bottom. The rear of the doubloon reads, "Creatures of The Night" New Orleans Superdome B-97
To try to put a retail value on this which to me is almost impossible, I would say about $100.00
