It's not pretty, but it's what I have. Obtained at bullion price long ago. It's a shame that a previous owner did not take care of this proof coin.  Points: 2 (same year); 2 (same country); 1 (NCC); 2 ("one" denomination); 3 (> 80% Silver) = 10 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Germany 10 mark 1972 Olympic games (Munich)  2 - Issued the same year when the referenced Olympics were held. 2 - Issued by the same country where the referenced Olympics were held. 1 - Non-Circulating Commemorative. 1 - Any other denomination. ? - not sure if I get any points for composition (less than 80% silver). Also, the reverse doesn't depict an event, but the Olympic stadium Total 6 points I have another coin that would get points for the logo, but I will probably forget to take pictures, so I'm posting this one.

4 - Has no gold, but does have a "golden" appearance (brass or brass plating as does this example).
2 - Has no silver, but does have a "silver" appearance (copper nickel, nickel, steel, etc... looks silver) I listed the points as non-exclusive, so they can be combined when possible. You get 6 points for the bi-metal coin being golden and silver. You get 3 points for "Depicts official logo for the referenced Olympics" and "Depicts an event held during the referenced Olympics" With the other points allowed you have 16 points total! And the lead!  |
