Description

Produced at the Denver Mint, the 1983 (D) Olympic Dollar is part of the Modern Commemorative Dollars (1982-Date) series. The U.S. Mint produced 174,014 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 27% 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. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Auction record: $7,638 MS70 04-24-2013 Heritage Auctions. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9606.
