A friend has a Bear Grizzly and he says the coin has Fred's face on it instead of a Bear. Any info on these bows, year, value etc. would be appreciated.
-
In his book on Bear bows, Choppen stated these coins were used from 1998-2003 and often referred to as "Freddy Kruger" coins.
If you've ever seen the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street", you got the image. I agree, but cannot believe it took the company that long to dump the coin since it was dreadful.

Lon, is there any value to this Grizzy with that coin?
-
As to value, probably the same as any other similar Grizzly since I've not heard or read of collector interest in those.
-
My Bear Montana has that coin on it. Pretty sure I bought it in 1998. Maybe someday those era bows will be a little more desirable.
-
I'm a big Fred fan Lon but he wasn't the prettiest feller in the world.
-
:rolleyes:
Yep, I guess Tom Selleck and George Clooney would have no worry of competition.
However, I've heard Fred's personality and big feet would excite the ladies.
-
Ah yes, you know what they say about guys with big feet. I did meet him three different times and have a photo with him and he was a genuine man.
He had an excellent personality-always joking around. Asked me once prior to hunting season if I had my buck ready and tied up in the woods.
