“”Beam me up JBM”. The Star Trek Silver Delta is simply stunning. It’s housing is just as unique as the coin itself. If Joe Cocker were alive, I’m sure he’d say, “You are so beautiful”. Or Billy Crystal might say of the Star Trek Silver Delta, “You look marvelous”. Now I say the Silver Delta is second to none in my collection.”
