Hi All,
Would love to know what you all think of the Stanley Cup coin? Do you think it will sell out? Do you think the price will drop in the near future?

Personally, I'm not a fan. I'm a big hockey fan but this one is really not a coin to me. I would rather have seen a coin as the round base, and the cup sitting on top that could be lifted to reveal the coin.
Half the cup just doesn't do it for me. Lack of detail on the cup hurts it too IMO.
Will it sell out? Probably.
Will is gain value in the future? To quote Daniel Alfredsson, 'probably not'.

In my opinion - as coin - it not attractive at all. And from point of view of hockey fan - this item doesn't worth to commemorate with it anniversary. And being not kinda professor, would say, that to mint 1.5D coin (half of real 3D) is weird. Added: Looks like RCM discontinued the "face value" coin pack, and widely uses "Special Wrap Roll" (overpriced) model. Edited by Silveroid

My thought is a word that starts with G and ends with "immick".

I was anticipating something unique in coin format.
This looks like something found in a case of beer -
Yes lack of detail hurts the design...
Gift shop overkill with this design and the stone carving "coin" not my thing.

Strange they gave us "half" of the Stanley Cup. Why not a complete Stanley Cup liker the sculpture coins?
We don't see "half" of a polar bear on the sculpture coin.

I see it as just another fairly expensive novelty coin from the RCM. IMO, it has a limited collector base and will almost definitely be available for less than issue price in the future. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I agree.After giving a great deal of thought, I came to the conclusion that the Stanley cup coin is not attractive at all.It should of been the whole cup perhaps inscribed with some of the top NHL teams that won the most cups. Also on a nicer stand. For this I cancelled my order.

I'm also extremely disappointed by RCM flooding the market with GIMMICK coins, they should have done 1/2 production on 10 Oz Superman coin and did 5 or 10 oz full Stanley cups coin. Which I would have bought in a heartbeat but this 1/2 coin is 1/2 a joke right? Worst part is they will assume its the theme of the coin thats the issue of its failure to sell and probably wont see another instead of it being 100% business decision failure. As a Canadian I'm insulted by our money hungry mint, I guess in their world its quantity over quality :( Edited by Beercules

Have you noticed that the RCM is shaving a few grams off of their new silver releases so that the are weighted just a little bit less than 1oz, 2oz, 5oz etc |

The 100th anniversary of Grey Cup coin released in 2012 was simple affordable beautiful design -
Is it possible there is more to come re Stanley in traditional round coin design?

They also released a 1 oz multi coin that actually 1.5 oz :P its a 4 coin puzzle maple leaf that are 11.98g per coin. I snagged it because of this odd design, I think it will be worth something in 20 year just on the stupidity of RCM. :p |

It should of been the whole cup Steve Bromberg provided the brilliant solution on the Coin Show to this very obvious problem. Just buy two and put them together to make a whole cup.  /facepalm Edited by CC-Ottawa

Steve Bromberg provided the brilliant solution on the Coin Show to this very obvious problem. Just buy two and put them together to make a whole cup. Only problem with that besides paying $720.00(ouch) is that Your coin wouldn't be encapsulated and wouldn't fit on the stand that comes with it. prone to scratches and discoloration. Just another marketing gimmick for you to buy more than one.Nice try Steve. |
