If they started at that price, I would have subscribed. Buying them all now at $105 (x 10 coins) is a little rich for the post Christmas billing blues.

Some of the Sochi coins are selling out at the mint. I guess the price drop helped.

Some off-top, but interesting info:

At the Sochi Olympic site, at the distributor's boutique possible to order gold Sochi coin. The info that I have - they 3kg of gold each.

Another info, that I see in some sites:
additional Silver / Gold Sochi coins issued, while on them depicted Mascot of Olympics games. They are rectangular, have .999 purity, 1oz.

Take a look at this video, just see the coins, what they say there doesn't meter:

And here is the catalogue of images of the coins:

The prices are in Russian Rubles, so divide on 35 for USD

I bought only one of the Sochi coins, and I am quite impressed. Both, with the coin, and the COA.

I just noticed this thread, thats a nice coin and deal. My question is- they are saying awaiting stock on the Olympic hockey coin.... on the RCM mint,, does awaiting stock mean they are going to have more of these for sale on the site?

Sorry yup7676, it has happened in the past, where a coin comes back into stock, but it's more likely the next post will be 'sold out'.

@yup7676:

I do not like these "already outdated" coins (.925 purity), but this fact will not prevent to try to help.

I believe, the European main dealers on ebay will have a lot of these.
So, here the example for the listing (you will know, what to search for):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sochi-2014-...em4ad0345597

put your bed and have a good luck!!

Added:

and this one has a weak design, but more symbolic and 1oz of .999 silver:

Russia 2012 3 rubles Polar Bear Sochi 2014 Proof Silver Coin in a gift box!

I just wanted to give a big shout out and super big THANK YOU for Silveroid, who kindly helped me out in finding one of these Sochi Hockey Olympic coins.

I won the auction and I am very happy.

Looking forward to adding this one to the collection.

thank you again Silveroid for the assistance, I would have missed this one had you not pointed it out.

@yup7676:

You welcome.
Happy for you....I know this feeling, when you can not even find the coin, and suddenly comes help.
Congrats for your purchase, specially, if you managed to get it below RCM's price (which was overpriced).

@Silveroid

Yes sir, its a very nice feeling....

with shipping it comes out to a couple cents over $100 USD. So a bit more than what I could have paid at the RCM sale but considering that I missed the sale,,, I can live with that.

thank you again for your help!

Think again Y&up7676... that coin at the mint was $105 PLUS taxes - as a sterling silver coin, it was NOT tax exempt. Landed at my door, the skiing Sochi coin cost me $118.59.

You got a good deal from ebay. (you're lucky, I thought about bidding on it too to the max $100, but I didn't as I knew you wanted it)

so, just got my coin, WOW what a beauty,, for sterling silver, I love the finish, love the presentation. If you enjoyed the Sochi winter olympics as I did, you MUST get one of these coins to add to your collection and keep for memories sake!

Thanks go out to my fellow canadian collectors on this forum who helped me in obtaining what is a very special coin to me!
