Depend on what direction your collection is going, but I think that this could be a cool addition. There are several old threads talking about this; here is a link to one of them from more than ten years ago so that you can comparing pricing: http://goccf.com/t/124640 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

The 1995, 1996 Olympic dies are an exception, they just have an X on them. They sell for higher prices than the others. I have two Olympic dies, here's my 1995 track die: Here is YouTube video, brief history of the cancelled dies: NhS5Jz78x88 Edited by livingwater 08/17/2024 10:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 08/17/2024 11:10 pm Looking at the COA for this die. It is not from the mint. The COA seems to be a replacement for the mint one without the details. Report this Post to the Staff
