[QUOTE="Soylent, post: 1587002"][b]Not an olympic coin...[/b] ...but an olympic die. From memory $50 + $5 shipping. COA, cap, velvet bag and the original advertisement. No packaging or invoice. I thought it was just a cool item and used it for a paper weight on my desk. A few years back several surfaced on the Bay and went for $1400 to $1500. As more appeared the prices went down to $500 to $600 as Matt mentioned in this or another thread. It's been said this is the first and last time any die that's not completely defaced will be offered. I can't however confirm this. This one was retired because of "starburst." Eventually I'll pick up a tennis commemorative to go along with the die. {been saying that for a long time} The poor quality images were taken by my MacBook camera. Google Images search "1996 OLYMPIC COIN DIE" will provide nice clear pics and avoid any copyright conflicts here. Soylent[/QUOTE]
