thanks - I have been using the translator and will keep up with the site. I may have found the coin however, with a dealer in England.

Good to know - unfortunately I do not remember much from my college freshman course in Russian so I will see what I can manage. Again, I really appreciate your help.

I really appreciate your help. This is not the first time I have found evidence that a so-called expert was wrong. Is there a way for me to participate in the Moscow internet auctions safely?

I am trying to confirm whether the Moscow mint made proof versions of all of the 1980 Olympic set. I have been looking for the Moscow mint version of the coin below for years to no avail. I have the Moscow BU version and both versions from the Leningrad mint. I recently wrote a big EBAY dealer to see if he could find the Moscow proof issue and he indicated that his Russian coin expert said Moscow never produced the proof version of this coin. I searched the forum and found one related post that said Moscow did not produce all of the proof coins but no specifics on which were and were not produced. Note the Krause SCWC and the Polcyzk book on sport coins indicate that both mints produced both versions. Does anyone have a definitive source that answers the question one way or another?

If anyone happens to have the Moscow mint proof version, I will be more than happy to pay above Krause value.
