I got it

Oh, not to worry about the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I know all about them.
I'm from Massachusetts. Boston Bruins you know ?
I even got to meet all the cools ones from back in the 70's right in the locker room. They had their training camp one season in my town. I was a Rink Rat back then.

poboxw... check the premium on the 1/15 oz Gold Maple Leaf.
Minted as a fractional gold maple leaf and thought to stay as part of the series with a $2 face value... you remember the $2 bill which turned into the twoonie coin.

Well, turns out it was a one year thing, and now this bullion piece is definately collectable... worth many times spot.

Awesome! I hope you took/forced/stole autographs/jerseys/sticks or something!

@IBGolden: ya, the 1/15th is an odd ball eh, 94 or 95 I think was the year. I remember it was sized for the jewelry industry but failed miserably running up to 96-97. Although the premium on it is astronomical, I've never seen/hear one actually sell at the asking price.

Actually, the best part besides a few auto's and talking with them etc. was that they had (really) 2 ea. 55 Gallon plastic barrels filled with ice cold brewskies right in the locker room. And they shared.
Wicked cool thing that happened to me was right after an exibition game with a local team I was asked to help escort Derek Sanderson out of the building and to his car from the locker room. Just me on one arm and another guy on his other arm. Wish we had vid. cam's back then. What a scene.
There were dozens of screaming crazy shirt rippin Women right in our path. I just about got beaten to a pulp. Made it out though. Even my shirt got ripped open and I hit the floor once. Man, those Women are tough. Derek was a piece of work back then. All my friends thought that was so cool and even some of the Ladies too
Aahh, to be young again and again and again.

I know this is a coin thread but I found this article.
Brought back memories. Fitchburg, Ma. was where I lived.
and the Wallace civic center was just a few hundred yards from my house.
If you saw me back then you would of thought that the "Turk" and I were
brothers. I was younger than him but taller :) My buddy worked at that peter pan restaurant at the time and told us the story.

Here's a sample. I think mintage is somewhere around 5,000. Pretty rare stuff. Preferably one in the original packaging. I think they go for a minimum $250.00 now. @.@

@Northernspear,
As a comparison, could you post a picture of a 1/25 oz or 1/25 oz beside the 1/15 oz coin? TIA
