OT: Gretzky Edmonton Oiler Dollar Coin

[Rin]

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me about this coin? I've never seen these before but someone at work gave it to me. Is it something special or just another paper weight?

It's from 1983? I'd hang onto it. Could be rare.

EDIT: Found one on Ebay with a fancy card that comes with it, doesn't look like it's being sold for a ton.

I would just keep it I were you. It's pretty cool.

I'll give you 99 cents for it.

The small print says "Value $1 expires May 1, 1984" so it must be from 83. Ebay had a few for $10 but they come in a package, not just the coin on its own.

They are a set I believe. I remember seeing a Semenko coin not that long ago too
