Celebrate the Jets' triumphant return to Winnipeg
The announcement came in May 2011—the 2011-12 NHL season will mark the return of the Winnipeg Jets. Excited fans filled the streets in celebration. Even though 15 years had passed since Winnipeg’s last NHL team, the bond between the city and its cherished Jets remains as strong as ever.

The team’s new logo is an important part of that revival for its 21st century identity. The military jet that has been a visual element of the logo since 1972 has been brought to the forefront to highlight Canada’s rich aviation heritage; its time-honoured character evident in the logo’s strong, graphic lines. Shades of military blue and silver are enhanced with a touch of maple leaf red—a telltale sign this team will soar on the wings of true hockey passion.

hhhmmm tempting but the thing is i will probably just get the regular one as the only reason i would buy silver of anykind is to resell and i would never sell this coin anyways. Barely be able to tell the difference anyways.

...yes you would be able to tell the difference as one is a $0.50 cent coin and the other a $20 dollar coin....



50 cent 27.13 mm diameter
20 dollar 38 mm diameter

[hobble]

Funny to think that you would be paying upwards of $15 for a 50 cent coin
