suresh New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 10/05/2011 7:01 pm The coin looks not too bad, and the mintage is pretty low. I am just hesitating because of the ~15% sales tax hit I need to take. Anyone else considering buying this coin? http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/22kar...-prod1160001 Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 10/05/2011 7:22 pm I personally think that the only value for buying the Gretzky gold coin other then melt would be if you did buy one and the COA was number 99! Of course, they will probably pluck that coin off the production line and give it to Wayne personally. Wouldnt that be a great find? Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 10/05/2011 9:24 pm Gold content is currently @ 807 CAD This coin has a $500 premium + TAX as you mentioned, or about 40% of the cost which is within typical ranges for NCLT (gross margins). It is not the prettiest NCLT coin - that's for sure. And, pardon my ignorance, but I read the description and I still don't know exactly what it is supposed to commemorate.

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 9:24 pm Why isn't there a Stanley Cup coin, and a series of all the winners? Messier on a coin hoisting it over his head..... Report this Post to the Staff
Lithanial Valued Member Canada 451 Posts	Posted 10/06/2011 9:52 pm ^The Mint is probably too cheap to pay the NHL for the licensing agreement, but it would be neat to have a 100 different quarter designs for all of the Stanley Cup Champions, or Canadian HoF'ers. The Mint's new engraving technology would allow them to make more designs more often at a reasonable cost. Report this Post to the Staff
