[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 57580, member: 669"]I assume that your second paragraph is a quote from the hype promulgated by the seller. It sounds like the kind of bull that the guys on the TV Coin Vault and Home Shopping Network spew out so lustily. As of the 2005 32nd Ed. Standard Catalog of World Coins, no 1996 Olympic commems have made it into the catalog. The most recent 20 Nuevo Soles listed is a 1992 proof 1 oz. silver, with no mintage shown and a Krause value of $22.50, about three times its bullion value. There are no Peruvian patterns listed after 1988. [list][*]Do you like the way the coin looks?[*]Is it being offered at bullion value plus a reasonable premium?[*]Can you afford it, even if it can't be resold for what you pay (including S/H if you're not picking it up in person)?[*]Does it fit in with the rest of your collection, or with one of your non-numismatic interests?[/list] My advice: If you can answer all those questions affirmatively, buy it!. Otherwise, move on.[/QUOTE]
