The 1992-S $1 Olympic Dollar is a proof coin struck to raise funds for Olympic athletes participating in the 25th Olympiad. It was designed by James Sharpe, T. James Ferrell, and James Pede and minted in San Francisco. Specifications: Designer: James Sharpe, T. James Ferrell, James Pede Edge: Reeded Diameter: 38.10 millimeters Weight: 26.73 grams Mintage: 504,505 Mint: San Francisco Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Obverse: The obverse of the coin features a design by John R. Deecken, depicting a pitcher in the act of delivering a pitch to home plate. This design generated some controversy due to its striking similarity to a 1991 baseball card featuring Nolan Ryan. The obverse design aims to capture the essence of baseball, a beloved sport in the United States. Reverse: The reverse of the coin likely features various Olympic symbols and inscriptions, although specific details are not provided in the description. Commemorative Olympic coins often incorporate symbols such as the Olympic rings to represent the global nature of the Games and celebrate the spirit of competition. The Proof version of the 1992-S Olympic Dollar is known for its deep cameo contrast between the frosted design elements and the mirrored fields, enhancing the visual appeal of the coin. These proof coins are typically of high quality, and examples graded PR70DCAM (Proof 70 Deep Cameo) are sought after by collectors. This coin not only commemorates the Olympic Games but also contributed to supporting Olympic athletes through the funds raised from its sale.
