Comments

The 1992 Olympic Half Dollar was issued along with separate gold and silver coins for the 1992 Olympic Games. The summer games were held in Barcelona, Spain and the winter games were held in Albertville and Savoie, France.

The maximum authorized mintage for the 1992 Olympic Half Dollar was set at 6 million, which proved excessive compared to the final sales. Proof versions of the coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint and uncirculated versions were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The coins were sold individually or in two and three coin uncirculated or proof sets, and a six-coin commemorative set.

As an incentive to collectors, the US Mint included cards with authentic American Olympic athletes’ autographs. The autograph cards were included in the two and three coin proof sets and six coin sets while supplies lasted.
