Football shaped coin (Govmint jumps the shark)

DCW

Looks like Govmint.com now has beaten the US Mint to the punch and has made "the first football shaped coin."
Now what will the mint do to promote theirs? How many renditions can the market absorb?

its not govmint that made them. Its the Royal Canadian Mint that struck them and govmint is selling them!

surprised they did not work out something with the NFL. Then they could have made some real money!

And if they did work something out they could have made one for each team

I thought coins jumped the shark with the guitar and motorcycle coins slabbed by ATS. Since these are legal tender, I imagine they would be slabbed by our hosts as well. Still would love to see TrueViews!

I am amused.

Yeah, and the NFL could use all the help they can get this year.

The RCM jumped the shark years ago. The US Mint is not far behind!!

2017 Canada 25 Dollar 1-oz Silver Football Proof

Good Lord.

That's a $25 Coin? $119? GovMint sharknado.

The numismatic shark has been jumped by the world's government, pseudo-, and private mints for decades now.

The fact that Fonzie is holding a football this week is barely noticeable among all of the "coins" available in the market now.
