With the exception of Lassie, Sean Connery is the only person I know who's never been spoiled by success.

The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

What a Legend.
Terrific actor. RIP
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
The Man's Man. Every young boy growing up I knew ( including myself !) wanted to be that man in that movie poster.

RIP
Don't forget he also starred as Dr Jones, in Indiana Jones- The Last Crusade. One of my all time favorite movie.
The best Bond ever. I think I will spend part of this weekend binging on the Sean Connery 007 movies.
I am very sad, today.
He reminds me of my father who is only two years younger.
RIP Sean Connery---The ORIGINAL James Bond.

He was the Best! RIP

Don't forget his role in the Highlander movies!
Underneath the mango tree....... RIP
Best Bond of 'em all.
I really liked his portrayal of Professor Henry Jones Sr.
Born Thomas Sean Connery in Edinburgh, Scotland on Aug. 25, 1930, he was the son of a factory worker and a domestic cleaner.

though he will forever be remembered as James Bond, 007, it isn't his best work. like most Legendary figures, when you reflect back there's an incredible body of work. one of my favorites with him is Finding Forrester from around 2000. Sir Sean Connery based his character on J.D. Salinger and gave a really standout performance, the final credits are shown while "Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" is sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
RIP to a great man, Sean Connery.
I loved all of his movies. RIP a movie hero that will long be remembered.

TBB=The Best Bond. Another good movie was "Marnie", a Hitchcock movie. Starred with Tippi Hedren. The blonde in "The Birds".
The world lost great actor. RIP 007
There should be a coin or medal specifically for Connery.
PCGS has already slabbed the 2020 coins.
I don't think of actors as being anyone special. They are just people getting paid to do a job.
I know that there are collectors that purchase currency with 007 in the serial number. I may have a few myself. I remember when us kids were young and our mom took us to the drive-in on a Friday night to view the release of Goldfinger. I still remember that night like yesterday. Great movie! He was the one and only 007 as far as I’m concerned.
I'll post this 1930 doubled die obverse, DDO-006 to go along with that beautiful 1930 SLQ posted above.
While at work, On the radio I'm hearing a classic song concerning Sean Connery. Wings + Movie: "Live and let die!"
Oh no, correction! That was Roger Moore. Sadly, another Bond character gone.

Definitely will be missed and one of my favorite actors who seemed above the fray in life as well.
Here is a piece of "Movie Trivia" research I had previously put together that is Bond related with Sean Connery having led the way with the Walther PPK:
I think also he was a link to all of our younger days....As he died, so did some of our youth.
RIP, Sean, and you were much more than a simple actor.
As has been said, you were THE James Bond.
Well, just Love coins, period.
RIP my man, Sean😞
Was excellent in "Finding Forrester."
Loved the prom queen quote in, "The Rock"!
And there's "Darby O'Gill and the Little People":

Sean Connery's original gun from the first James Bond film is up for sale
9th November 2020
.
The iconography of James Bond is almost as famous as the character himself. The spy is known for his Aston Martin, his trilby, his martini (shaken, not stirred) -- and his signature Walther PPK pistol.
Though the films referred to Bond's gun as the PPK, the actual prop used in "Dr. No," the very first Bond film starring the late Sean Connery, was the Walther PP, which had a slightly longer build.
The deactivated Walther PP pistol, one of the two original props used by Connery, will go under the hammer at the upcoming "Icons & Idols Trilogy: Hollywood" sale, hosted by Julien's Auctions, on December 3 in Beverly Hills and online. The handgun is expected to fetch up to $200,000, according to the auction house.

Wonderful actor. The real Bond. Others were good but no one played the role better. RIP.
As kids we couldn't wait to see his new movies at the local theatre. What set him apart from all the other actors it's said, is that Connery's girls in films were always horizontal while the other Bond actor's women were always vertical.
Sean Connery died again?
Connery died Oct 2020. Whats is this? A SPAM for a coin thread?
Too many favorites to choose from? Welcome aboard. As much as i liked his delivery as 007, his post-Bond work allowed him a lot broader range. And he was not above self-satire.
