1972 Generic Olympic Hockey Pin

Here is a generic hockey-playing sumo wrestler pin from the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. The unique thing about this pin is that it is the earliest generic (meaning non-NOC) cloisonne-type that I have been able to find to date.

Let Me Explain . . .

$$ Olympic Pin Values $$

With nearly every post I try to give an idea of the value of the Olympic pin(s) that are highlighted in the post. I have been a collector for many years, and during that time I have tracked the sale of hundreds of Olympic hockey pins. The values that I post on this blog are based on this research and also, most certainly, are affected by my own subjective feelings about the pin(s), so take them with a grain of salt. Of course, the true value of a pin is what a buyer is willing to pay and what a seller accepts for the item at any given time.
