Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2020
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/20/2020
For the many coin "heads" out there comes this varied batch, with classic Shirriff hockey coins leading off. Two-thirds of a 1961-62 set (83/120) are present, with some definite handling observed; some waviness to many of the thin cardboard images is to report, along with somewhat dusty/soiled examples = VG. The team breakdown is as follows: Boston - 9, Chicago - 14, Toronto -17, Detroit - 16, New York - 15 and Montreal - 12. Metal entries from '62-63 total 44 (out of 60), with condition similar; varying degrees of wear to the rims/edges, some of it heavy and "regular" coins of Keon and Plante, along with Horton, Geoffrion and Richard, among those missing. The others missing are numbers 8, 14, 15, 18, 21, 33, 39, 44, 46-Mikita All-Star, 57-Hull Art Ross and 60-Harvey Norris. .....Meanwhile, showing up considerably less often are Shirriff baseball coins from 1962, with over 80 here similar to the hockey coins; grubbiness, with at times cleanable fronts/backs is to note. Roberto Clemente leads the star power, with a small crease and indentation in the cardboard insert. Other (VG neighborhood) stars include Frank Robinson, Mathews, Killebrew, Fox, Wynn, Cepeda, Pinson and Mazeroski. .....Completing the shoebox-like find are other classics of the era; 30+ airplane coins, a few warships, a couple of beat up dogs, a flag coin (USA), a space orbits coin and two 1963 CFL football coins. Some fun to be had here!
