I got them for Patrick for Christmas, he absolutely loves them. Hence why they are still in the packaging.

I'm not going to click on them - I can't bear to see them

YOU CAN DO IT!

Please 'mam, don't don't me...

Hmmm, you seem a little flustered. don't don't me?

Dang. I can't even speak properly on the subject. Ack!

Very Beautiful coins, Tiff...

What a terrific gift. I'll bet Patrick loves them. (Who wouldn't?)

He does. He's a big hockey fan. We got another 2 sets for our friend for Christmas also a big hockey fan.

I like 'em. But I'm going to hold out for a Canucks one!

Dream on

Well, our friend absolutely loved the sets. He has always had an interest in coins, and he said... "They have HOCKEY coins??? Now I'm really going to start collecting coins." I have made a new recruit.


Now I need to know how many hockey coins there are in the history of coinage. Olympics to whatever and find them.

For ice hockey
- Finland Some 70s or 80s silver NCLT.
- Canada (1993? Stanley Cup $1, I believe one of the '88 Calgary $20s)

Just doing a search with hockey on Ebay I found lots. Bulgaria, Czech, Russia, even Afghanistan???

Oh, and there's quite a few Canadian ones.

Looks like I'm in trouble

Interestingly, I collect hockey-themed stamps, but not coins.

just for the record, that what you north americans call "Hockey" is called ice hockey in the rest of the world and what we call hockey is on a grass field, with a ball...

So simply looking for "hockey" might give the wrong sport, Tiff / ccg

That's kind of weird. Do you have the hockey bill too?

It showed both field and ice with the search.

What, the fiver? That's everyday pocket change

Got and in Unc?

Got? Definately
in Unc? I'll have to check. I don't usually have notes in better than AU (bank tellers always flick when counting)

That was supposed to by any, but I think you got the idea.

Okay, best one I've got is UNC-. No folds, but "wavy".

Can I have it?

It'll be in the next package I send you

I just ordered the latest hockey set for Patrick and my Hockey coin buddy.

I like that. I can't imagine a hocky fan/coin collector not getting a set.

I can....Its the freakin Senators!!

For 2007, I see they're releaseing the "classic hockey" sets, with the six remaining Canadian teams, Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Canadiens, Maple Leafs and Senators.

Here's a preview:

Ditto!!!

I got the rest of the hockey sets for Patrick & my friend for Christmas. I'll get the pics later. Though an interesting spin. They re-released the Leafs, Senators and Canadiens with 2007 and the designs are a bit revamped. Anyone know if they are planning to do this every year?

I don't want to know

They probably wont do the US based NHL teams but they can always do retro Pro teams(Jets, Nordiques,Maroons, etc.) or start on the Junior teams.

I like them, are there now 3 differnet Hockeysets?

6 for 2006 (dated 2007), and 2 others for a total of 8.

Really? I've only saw 3.

The 6 currently available (issued 2006) are on the RCM's site (I placed a link in a response to your 2007 coin set thread)

The two earlier sets were of the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs (issued 2005)
