A years-in-the-making collection of ever-popular Shirriff coins is available here and offers a few possibilities, with the lineup relatively uncomplicated to sum up. All of the coins not present are the more difficult to find short-printed examples, with the exception of a few. Never caught up to are non-SPs Sanderson (Boston), Ratelle (New York) and Canadiens Laperriere and Ferguson, while short prints that are present total five; Boston Doak, Los Angeles Robinson, Minnesota McCord, Montreal Redmond and St. Louis McDonald. Highlighted by stars Orr, Howe, Hull, Esposito, Beliveau, Keon and Parent, the coins are presented in coin holders and 20-pocket pages, with the holders and pages at times hiding subtle flaws. We’ve taken a close look though and not a single edge chip is to report, with a small percentage of slightly cracked “windows” spotted, but overall, the coins display well – junky coins were not worthy of our consignor’s collection. All backs appear problem-free, except for one discolored Red Wings example. Some duplicates (11) are tossed-in and include Hall of Famers Glenn Hall and Marcel Pronovost, with minor condition issues to note with a few of the others. A colorful 1968-69 Shirriff coin “trip” awaits the winning bidder.
