Description

The 1984 (P) Proof Los Angeles Olympiad Commemorative Ten Dollar Gold is a proof dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Modern Commemorative Ten Dollar Gold (1984-2003) series. With a mintage of 33,309, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 5 mint variants, representing only 6% of total production. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue and the reverse displays designs varying by commemorative issue. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $6,000 PR70DCAM 07-24-2021 eBay.
