This has to be the ugliest 1976 Olympic gold I've seen yet... it actually almost looks as though it circulated. Just melt now. I don't have an ICCS population report, but would be interested in knowing how many were graded (in both sizes) and what is top. http://www.ebay.com/itm/13079404136....m1431.l2649 |

Mintage was 650k of the 14k version and 350k of the 22k version. The 14k was also a 'circulation' finish while the 22k was proof. Edited by CC-Ottawa

NP. I keep my catalogue next to the couch so I don't have to get up.  Edited by CC-Ottawa

Looks like it could have been someone's pocket-piece for a time.

The 22k issue is beautiful though (IMO). Never did bother to get the 14k...agree, quite ugly.

I had a few of them from the bank in the late 70's - for $100.
Sold in the 80's...

I love the design (big fan of de Pedery-Hunt) and am looking to pick up one for my collection. I thought about the pocket piece thing too, commems.
