worldwide Olympic commems available

I have no interest in another "niche" within numismatics...but I always thought that Olympic coins from around the world (and the USA) would make a challenging and fun signature set to assemble.

When I first started my signature set I wanted to do a themed set--and of something that I love. To be honest, my first thoughts were of a set called "Beautiful Women of Coinage". There are some absolutely dazzling coins with wonderful female figures---the St Gaudens, the 1917 T1 SLQ, France's Marianne coinage, Mexico's Onzas...etc etc...

I also thought about an " Angelic Collection"..angels are depicted all over the world numismatic community and there would be no shortage of gorgeous designs to hunt down.....but in the end I chose ( as I'm sure many of you already know) Sailing Ships--because of the love I have for being on the water

My set still has a few olympic coins and some with beautiful women, and even a few still have angels...but my High Seas set has over 200 coins (150 or so slabbed) and all have sailing ships...

Here is one of my favorite Olympic sailing coins--it shows the Bermudan team with a slight lead on the Kiwis and Germany..
