Own the First U.S. Commemorative Silver Dollar ProofOLYMPIC YEAR SPECIAL -- the ground-breaking first issue in America's ongoing commemorative silver dollar proof series. This "preview" of the 1984 Summer Olympiad was the U.S. Mint's first-ever commemorative silver dollar struck in peerless proof quality, with deep-etched frosted engravings and dazzling mirror backgrounds. Some later proofs in the series had higher mintages, but surprisingly today it's the most affordable of all the 40-odd issues! The athlete-in-motion Discus Thrower design was inspired by an ancient Greek sculpture by Myron, linking it to the first Olympiad. On the reverse side is a magnificent image of an American eagle. This historic first issue has previously listed for up to $30. |
