I was wondering if there are any numbers published regarding the mintage figures for the Silver, Gold and Platinum coins of the 1980 Olympics?

Thanks!

Rusty.

Yes, mintage unfortunately varied for each one of them.

Platinum

1977 Emblem 34,070, 24,160 of them proof
1978 Discus 33,256, 19,853 PF
1978 Wrestling 32,556, 18,978 PF
1979 Chariot 26,806, 17,708 PF
1980 Marathon 20,690, 12,870 PF

Gold

1977 Emblem 81,752, 38,036 PF
1978 Stadium named after Lenin 107,340, 45,317 PF
1978 Swimming stadium 100,406, 43,253 PF
1979 Cycling 97,126, 42,213 PF
1979 University sports hall 91,506, 38,003 PF
1980 Olympic torch 52,440, 27,820 PF

The only rarest gold coin there appearently is the swimming stadium gold coin as there were a few accidently minted without the year.

All platinum coins were minted in Leningrad mint. Most gold coins were minted in both Moscow and Leningrad mint except the last two gold coins, where there were minted only in Moscow.

Obviously it's not going to be cheap if you are going to go after Mint marks and proof and uncirculated ones!

I'm not going to list the silver ones today as it's a long long list.

Super! Thanks!

I'm hoping to get the complete set in original capsules unless the water stadium w/out the year comes up.

A list of Silver will be greatly appreciated when you get some time.

Thanks,

Rusty.

Is this the case for the whole list? Total mintage - Proofs?

Thanks!

Rusty

Yes, what I meant by that is that the total number of mintage of both proof and uncirculated is 34,070 whereas out of that, 24,160 of them are in proof quality.
