I stay with traditional coins like a 1947 ICCS MS65 25ct coin that will always be listed in coin books until eternity. 100 years from now, WHO'S GRETSKY!!

I would quite say that, a 53 Topps Mantle in high grade is worth more than most key date Canadian coins except for a hand full.

I'd suspect that in 100 years, people may have heard of something called a coin that their long dead great-grandparents used as an odd form of payment, and if they want to see a book, they would have to visit a museum. Then again, we'll all be dead so who cares. Eternity is a relative term.  |

These will probably be 50% off in the summer right?
Also couldn't someone at the bank just weigh the boxes?

Gretzky scored 215 points in 1985-86.
He is a Hockey God. In 100 years there
will be Churches in his name. Those coins
will be sacred.

I live only 200km from Edmonton all my life and I don't have to tell you how big a fan I am of Gretsky. First came God,then Gordie Howe and then Gretsky. You see Gretsky thought Gordie Howe was the Hockey God. I bought the 2011 Greysky 25ct coin and like everything else I'm having a hard time getting $25 bucks for it. The point is the fads were out quick now!! I went on the electronic Canadian Coin News and yes this set is on the front page and there will be lots of talk about it. All coins are current active players except for Gretsky and Roy but there still active in hockey in a different way. CHEERS!!

I'm a Hockey card collector and coin collector so I was interested in these. I logged into my CIBC account to check it out but I couldn't find the mintage listed anywhere on their site so I called; I was passed to 3 representatives and none knew what mintage meant.
The last kind lady put me on hold to try and find out but with no luck, it doesn't appear CIBC knows what the mintage is on these. :(

Other than CIBC selling them, and many of the players on them, there is nothing Canadian about these foreign coins. As big fan, you must have this jersey.  http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl...ky-1.3240976 It's also worth noting that this the PA and not the NHL. That is, no team names or logos. Limited appeal for fans IMO. Edited by CC-Ottawa

This is the description of the coins:
"Grandeur™ Hockey Coins may be purchased individually in a sealed blind pack for $100 or as a collector box with four randomly inserted coins for $499."
What a joke. Pay $100 for a pack without knowing who you get. There is only a few Superstars in the whole list. Besides Gretzky, Crosby, Jagr, and McDavid, the rest of the players are 2nd tier stars or below.
Patrice Bergeron - Boston
Dustin Byfuglien - Winnipeg
Sidney Crosby - Pittsburgh
Jack Eichel - Buffalo
Wayne Gretzky - Edmonton
Jaromir Jagr - Florida
Patrick Kane - Chicago
Dylan Larkin - Detroit
Henrik Lundqvist - New York
Erik Karlsson - Ottawa
Connor McDavid - Edmonton
Sean Monahan - Calgary
William Nylander - Toronto
Alex Ovechkin - Washington
Carey Price - Montreal
Patrick Roy - Montreal
Daniel Sedin - Vancouver
Vladimir Tarasenko - St. Louis
John Tavares - Brooklyn
Jonathan Toews - Chicago
Imagine paying $100 and getting Dustin Byfuglien or Dylan Larkin. No thanks.
Not to mention no team names or logos. I wouldn't pay more than $10 a pack.

"Obviously, you start with our spokesmen, who are Wayne Gretzky, Patrick Roy and Connor McDavid. They've been our exclusive spokesmen for a while.
No wonder Gretzky with a Z and Roy are the only 2 retired players in this game. Sorry Wayne not interested in trading coins like hockey cards to get the set.
