Art Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm thinking seriously about a theme collection of coins with bicycles on them. I don't know of any, except the new 50p UK with that design. I'll be doing some research. Does anyone have any info they can share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 One of the Montreal Olympics $5 or $10 coins has cycling as a theme. They usually go for melt +/- 15%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 So far I've identified three coins: 1976 Canada $10 Olympics --- per ccg 1995 USA $1 Olympics 2000 Australian $5 Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Perhaps searching for cycling events maybe helpful Art. Here's mine: Another one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 France has issued a number of coins with Tour de France as the theme. They look quite nice. I haven't found any pic that I can post yet but I'll get to it eventually. The gold 20E are quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
