RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 03/22/2006 4:55 pm I don't think we can make such a statement. I know only the latest Euro commoratives have rings since 2Euros are bimettalic. Any others you know? Report this Post to the Staff
KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 05:49 am I found A 10 mark from the German Olympics. So I have started. ebay is a bit quiet at moment with olympic coins so I will wait patiently for them. haven't decided which 2002 ozzie one to get yet. Any suggestion, cheap preferably silver, no packaging? Edited by KLD 03/26/2006 05:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 06:09 am If it's silver, I think one of the cheapest is the Japanese 1964 100yen, but the 1000 yen is a bit too expensive. I think in the store here in Sydney, he was offering the 100 yen for around 5 dollars and the 1000 yen for around 50 aud. Will double check to confirm the prices. I'm not too sure about the rest of the world silver olympics, but I must insist that the Moscow '80 Olympic coin set is extremely tempting and actually a stunner with it's packaging. :) Note, you should go to ebay.de (german ebay), under munzen, and under munzen motive, olympia, there should be plenty of Olympic coins. German ebay is slightly unique as it has various catagories, unlike the US or the Aussie site. P.S. there is two dots above the u - I can't just type them in here. Hope that helps a bit. :) My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 08:33 am All U.S. Olympic commemoratives will be silver, either in half dollar or dollar size. While they can be pricey a great number of them are really affordable as U.S. commemoratives, especially Olympic coins, tend to drop in value as collectors tend to move on to newer issues. The 95 issues are relatively cheap while the 96 issues are through the roof. The U.S. learned NOT to get carried away with multiple issues or two year series as everyone would buy the first year, get burnt out, but not the second years issues. Most Olympic releases now are only one coin. You could build quite a collection and there are huge amounts of coins released with the Olympic Rings! Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 5:21 pm I think my criteria has been set. Must be from host nation dated the year they were held. Preferrably silver in high grade. ooooh yeah and it must be inexpensive...............lol Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 7:55 pm I believe my dealer will be buying a few U.S. silver Olympic commemoratives in the near future as I helped price them last weekend. Will keep you posted as none of what he was offered were costly by any means. Report this Post to the Staff
