An Olympic Games Record May be Broken

Posted on 08 August 2008 by Alex

I’m not talking about the decathlon or gymnastics. I’m talking about the incredibly beautiful 6-coin Gold and Silver Proof Sets commemorating the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games! Series I and II have already sold out in China, and the small U.S. allocation of the Series II set will more than likely be gone before the first U.S. athlete competes in China. That just may set a new record for the sale of Olympic Games Commemorative coins.

And these aren’t just coins—they’re works of art in gold and silver and a wonder to behold. I know, because I’ve actually had the opportunity to see them firsthand. If I’m any judge of beauty and craftsmanship, the artistry of these Gold and Silver Proofs will more than exceed any expectations you might have.

When you consider that there are 140 million coin collectors in this country, many of whom are trying to get their hands on these Series II Six-Coin Sets—and millions more Olympic Games fans lining up for their sets—it’s easy to understand that those who procrastinate or wait until the Games actually start will literally be left in the starting blocks.

Take my word for it. This might be your only chance to actually own a part of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games history—and what a historic event this promises to be! More than $40 billion dollars have been spent by China in preparation for their moment on the world stage. They’ve obviously pulled out all the stops—and this 6-coin Gold and Silver Proof set is no exception.

Now that I’ve piqued your interest, you’re probably wondering how to secure this Series II set before they’re gone. I wondered, too. Thankfully, a friend of mine put me in touch with Nick Bruyer, CEO of First Federal Coin Corp and world-renowned coin expert. It turns out his company is one of just two U.S. distributors for these sets. A man of few words, Nick simply said “Call us right away. With each day that passes, our small allocation gets smaller.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to be relaxing in your living room this August, watching the drama of the Games unfold and knowing you’ve secured your own Olympic Games gold and silver? Of course, once the Games are over you might be able to locate this Proof set, but without a doubt the price will likely be much higher than the current official price Nick’s company is asking.
