These participating nations pins comes from the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, and each feature the flags of all the countries that participated in the men's Olympic hockey tournament. The pin shown here on the left was previously discussed in my April 15, 2011 post. Recently, I acquired the pin on the right, which differs in that the lettering at the bottom of the pin is yellow instead of white. Also, the inscriptions on the backs of the pins are different. The pin on the left was made for original distribution within the United States (thus the United States statute reference in the inscription), while the pin on the right was originally produced for distribution in Canada. I would say the value of each pin is $15.00 USD. However, during the Vancouver Games, I actually saw the pin on the left sell for $80.00 USD--incredible, huh?
