Description

The 1995 (D) Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games Cycling Dollar represents a Denver Mint issue from the Modern Commemorative Dollars (1982-Date) series. With a mintage of 19,662, this is a scarce issue β€” the scarcer of two mint variants, with 14% of total production. The obverse features designs varying by commemorative issue, authorized by Congress to honor significant American events, people, and institutions 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. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Auction record: $656 MS70 03-20-2008 David Lawrence RC. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9722.
