@Northerncoins you are right they are really nice in hand.
Just received two of them today ,hopefully the mintage stays low. Grats, yes they are "Very" nice Coins, the $114 release price was a big turn off at the time, but in the end I think anyone who has these will be quite Happy and with the added bonus of a possible under 1000 mintage for 3 of the coins and under 2000 for the Hitter these are sleeper coins. Imo atleast lol. |

I have to disagree with you. Baseball is not an overly popular coin theme per se. As far as I know, baseball is not something I would associate with Canada. And thirdly, these coins are just plain ugly.
A low mintage will mean nothing if there is no demand for the coin.

I agree with omxfl
I think we have not few 50c and Dollar coins, painted, with the Hockey theme, that also have low final mintage, and even Hockey does associate with Canada - there is no demand for them.
But guys, if you like them or the theme - enjoy the coins.

Yes, I forgot to add - collect what you want. And if some on here think these are beautiful coins, then collect them by all means. It'd be boring if we all had the same taste! :)

Thanks for the info!
And this would be something to celebrate with a coin - sports & a historic background.

I must agree with so many of you that the attempt The Royal Canadian Mint made with these baseball coins are just plain, boring & give me no incentive to even want to own one in any way, shape or form. Now on the other hand, the U.S. Mint's 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin is something that gives eye appeal & makes you take a second look... It's in the shape of a baseball glove! They offer: FIVE DOLLARS on the gold coin ONE DOLLAR on the silver dollar HALF DOLLAR on the clad coin http://www.usmint.gov/batterup/?action=curvedcoin    How can you not like these coins?

How can you not like these coins? They lovely, innovative, well done, but doesn't mean, that you have to buy. The mintages for US baseball coins - were they in the "same league" as the plain RCM baseball coins? Have they been struck from purest in the world gold and silver? Considering the above as disadvantages, I still like them (just not enough in order to have them in collection) |

The mintages are ridiculous on those US baseball coins lol. Plus they are not .9999 fine silver.
50,000 $5 gold coins
400,000 $1 silver coins Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
750,000 half-dollar clad coins
The Canadian coins are beautiful in hand and with super low finale mintages these are very very underrated. Nice sleeper .9999 silver coin.
