The gold medal once belonging to 1980 U.S. Men’s Hockey team center Steve Christoff – who scored a goal and added an assist in the gold medal-winning game over Finland – sold for $375,961 (including buyer’s premium) in SCP’s 2023 February’s Finest auction.
The Miracle on Ice gold medal was awarded to Christoff and his U.S. teammates after beating Finland in the gold medal game. The U.S. had previously stunned the Soviet Union in the semifinals – one of America’s biggest sports stories in history.
