Olympic Commemoratives

Here are two silver medals from the Franklin Mint “The Official History Of The Olympic Games” set. Doing some research I saw an eBay listing that stated these have a mintage of 10,000; although the Franklin Mint site has the mintage at 5,382. They were produced / offered between 1976-1980, and each weigh 20 grams / 39mm diameter. I picked these up because they have great designs and the seller was selling them for under melt. :hail:
