Make My Medallions Marvel!
October 26, 2011
Hand-Antiqued? Is the phrase “Authentic Cubic Zirconia” going to make an appearance?
I present you with these variants on the simple Conan medallion. Make yourself a geeky Flavor Flave with a necklace! Fill the void left by the Phi Beta Kappa key that somehow eluded your grasp by buying a Spider-Man key chain!
And men, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, give Spider-Man jewelry to the one you love. It’s a risky proposition. If you have to ask whether or not you should give such a gift, then you definitely shouldn’t. Knowledge for life. You’re welcome.

There was also an Incredible Hulk coin. On the back it said, “Within each of us, ofttimes, there dwells a mighty raging fury.” It also said, “The Incredible Hulk, First Appeared May, 1962” and, “Official Marvel Collectors Coin II.”
In 1976, I purchased all three of the coins in the bronze version. I didn’t get any of the accessories. They’re still in my room somewhere, tucked away in a box.
Nice. I like the Hulk motto. The E Pluribus Unum of Marvel coinage.
Btw, the back side of the Spider-Man coin had, “‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ Spider-Man First Story 1961.”
The other side of the Conan coin said, “‘Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. And barbarism must ultimately triumph.’ Conan the Barbarian First appeared October 1970.” That quote is from “Beyond the Black River.”
