People who are interested in coins and tokens would want to add this piece to their collection. There’s a good chance you can get a lot of money for your 1984-S $1 Olympic coin (Regular Strike) if it looks like the one below.

The company Professional Coin Grading Services gave it an MS70 grade. This $1 Olympic coin from 1984-S was 90% silver and only 10% copper. It weighs 26.73 grams. The edge is honed, and only 116,675 were made.

Who made this silver coin?

Robert Graham made this 1984-S $1 Olympic silver coin, and it was made by the Mint in San Francisco. The sale of this beautiful item was handled by Heritage Auctions.

As you might have guessed, it was made to honor the XXIII Olympiad Games, which were held in Los Angeles, California. On the back of this coin, a big American bird is sitting on a branch of a tree.

It’s an olive tree that’s lying on a rock. The words “United States of America One Dollar E Pluribus Unum” are written on it. Every letter is a capital letter. On the front, there is a picture of the entrance to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. On the coin are also the words “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and “LA XXIII Olympiad.”

How much the 1984-S $1 Olympic coin cost to make and sell at auction

In 1984, this beautiful silver coin sold for $89, and only 116,675 were made. But in 2013, it was sold at auction for $9,400. You could ask for a grade if you have another piece that is the same and has never been used. Don’t forget:

  • You could use Professional Coin Grading Services to find out how much your $1 Olympic piece is really worth.
  • Visit a numismatics fair in your state or look at prices on sites like eBay if you want to add this one to your collection.
