Offered in this lot we have Canadian Football Hall of Fame Member Tommy Joe Coffey’s gold ring presented to commemorate his 1977 induction. Size 10 with a weight of roughly 27 grams, “Canadian Football Hall of Fame Member” is spelled out in raised gold letters around the bezel surrounding the black-colored stone on the tableau. “Coffey” is engraved on a banner at the top of the right shank with his number “75” on another banner immediately below it along with a small CFHOF logo and a receiver catching a pass in relief. The left shank has a banner with “Player” engraved on it at the top with CFL, Canadian Amateur Football and Canadian Inter-University Athletics Union logos below it and Coffey’s “1977” induction year stamped on a banner at the bottom. The interior band is also stamped 10K along with a pair of symbols. An LOA will accompany.
The ring exhibits wear, with scratches and marks to the outside band along with other edges, with heavier wear to the left edge along the shank with “Player”. Other light scratches and marks are also present to the interior of the band.
CFL legend Tommy Joe Coffey was a lock for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame so it was almost a formality when he was inducted in the Class of 1977. An exceptional receiver and place kicker, Tommy Joe totaled 971 points over the course of his 14 CFL seasons with Edmonton, Hamilton and Toronto and led the league in scoring four times. He scored 65 touchdowns and kicked 204 converts, 108 field goals and 53 singles. Coffey led the CFL in pass receptions four times and caught a career total of 650 passes for 10,320 yards. A seven-time nominee for the league’s Most Outstanding Player award, Tommy Joe was the runner-up three times, including 1962 with the Eskimos and 1967 and 1970 with the Tiger-Cats. He is honored on both the Eskimos’ Wall of Fame and the Tiger-Cats’ Wall of Honour.
