One subscribed to the series and a coin with a different sport depicted on the reverse was sent periodically. The mint also provided a nifty green fuzzy storage box and authentification certificates for the set and for each coin. I don't seem to be able to post in Canadian Commemoratives, so I'm trynig here Edited by BobTeel55 11/12/2022 10:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

BobTeel55 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 11/12/2022 1:38 pm I had seen an earlier Olympic coin set, and got jealous. When I got the opportunity to subscribe, I bought these. I do not have nor look for, any other Olympic sets. Report this Post to the Staff

Fair enough - you've definitely got an attractive set as your collection's only Olympics-related piece. I've always liked the curling and bobsled coins from the set. They're not common subjects for coins and they are each nicely-executed (IMO) in this set! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
