Lot # 2126: 1992 U.S. Mint Olympic Coin Proof Set (3) with $5 Gold Coin in Presentation Case

Celebrate the 1992 Olympics in high style, by claiming this 1992 U.S. Mint Olympic coin set (3). This pristine set is populated with a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a clad half dollar coin, each fronted with an athlete in action. A determined sprinter is depicted on the front of the gold coin, which weighs in at 8.359 grams, with a composition of 90% gold, 6% silver and 4% copper. With an actual gold content of 0.24 troy ounce, the gold piece is far and away the most valuable of the three coins, though the silver dollar is greatly prized for a spot on resemblance to Nolan Ryan, as seen on his 1991 Fleer baseball card. Struck with 90% silver, 10% copper composition, this dollar coin weighs 26.730 grams. Rounding out this set, is a clad half dollar sporting a gymnast in front of the American Flag. This fifty-cent coin has a 92% copper, 8% nickel composition, and weighs 11.340 grams. Accompanying are the original U.S. Mint presentation case, box, COA. and a thank you card signed by Olympic Biathlon hopeful Benjamin T. Maki.
