Gatewest has it on their website. Limit of 10.

If Gatewest has a limit of 10 when RCM itself limits you to just 1 Gatewest must have ordered an awful lot on spec, which would suggest to me that they think it's going to be popular. |

Mintage is still 7500. Many are probably going to end up at Canada Post. I'd like to see one in hand before purchasing one.

I just talked with my rep. He indicated that his allocation of these coins was done. He had to find me one "through other means". I'm not sure what that really means, but the bottom line is I'll be getting one, and stock is getting low.

Send note to staff Its the other way around, if you could order 10 of them from Gatewest, that means this coin will NOT be hot. If Gateway think the coin will jump in value, they will limit it to one and have an immediate jump in price like they did with the gold Superman coin. |

This means it is a commissioned coin. I stay away from commission coins. |

No imagination behind this one, a logo and $120 + delivery.

It looks just OK to me ... if you collect every single hockey coin, go for it.
$120 is now "normal" for 1 oz silver so I won't ask for a discount...

Looks nice I agree, however, not worth $119 to me. I'm not a hockey fan, I do follow results in a general way, and I watch the Stanley cup finial games. I'm more into football. I'm an avid horse racing fan and show jumping. My cousins racehorse was Inglorious, who won the queens plate a few years ago. Now a series of famous Canadian racehorses I'd be all over in a heartbeat!! It's still a nice coin. The mint just over prices their coins!! They probably had a license fee.

Eh don't like it, canceled my order from the mint. Might regret it but I doubt it.
