Here is a warm up, for the Olys. Pan American Games

 

I never much collected the US issues till I picked a roll of commemorative dollars from an online dealer a few years ago. They were described as without packaging and COA, but heck, who cared? I only wanted the silver. Turns out I got a few Olympic coins in the mix.....

 

Opps.....wrong reverse on the '88. Sorry. I don't think I have a reverse shot of that one. Maybe one of you kind folks can help me out.

 

Found it!

 

I got a couple proofs that way too - they were sold slightly above melt and I was just after the silver content. Turns out I'm pretty happy with a couple of them too.

 

Like most of us numb skull modern types, I like to collect the commem's in OGP but I couldn't pass on the deal that this seller was offering. I think my favorite of the Olympic (US) series is the 'Nolan Ryan' (XXV Olympiad) Denver (unc) dollar. Beautiful edge lettering on that one.

 

Not familiar with that one, I'll have to take a look.

 

Post 63......

 

Once again we Yanks have successfully invaded the ancient forum.........:devil:

 

:yes:I agree Green the baseball ones are my favorites too. How about those Giants !!!!

 

I was actually at Nolan's 7th no-hitter game.

 

Tell me about it John. :yes:

 

It was on my birthday when I was a kid, and I was so bored... :smile

 

I don't have photos available right now, but there is also a series of Canadian quarters with Winter Olympics events on them from the last few years as well as a series of British 50 pences with Olympic events from recent years.

 

Awwwww

 

Nowadays people at my office are always giving away Ranger's tickets, but you couldn't pay me to go...

 

Yep I go a few times a year. We always have to have seats right behind the catcher.

 

Heck dang, I don't care who the devil I'm watching. I love Beisbol. And some tickets (free) for the park? Yeah baby! Count me in.....
