# 240 - Cycling
Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 1995 "Cycling" graded by PCGS PR70 DCAM.
All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
They will be presented in the order they were minted.
This coin was issued as part of an ambitious range of commemorative coins issued for the XXVI Olympiad Summer Games held in Atlanta, Georgia.
The obverse of the coin was designed by John Mercanti of the United States Mint and features three men cycling in the center of the coin.
The reverse features a design used in common for all of the 1995 Olympic Silver Dollars issued. This portrays the clasped hands of two athletes. The joined hands represent the brotherhood and team spirit of the Olympic Games.
A total of 118,795 coins were minted in Philadelphia. The issue price was U$34.95. The actual price is around U$500.00 in this grade.
This series will continue very soon.

I love sports coins and I hope that are more commemorative sport coins in the future.
Thank you, my friend. It is very good to see you here commenting.
I try my best. Between work and personal stuff, sometimes social media is a challenge. I am finding it increasingly difficult to commit to posting everyday, since I took a break from steemit... can't get my momentum back. How do you do it?
My OCD helps me. As I like to write articles about my coins, my OCD forces me to write everyday and I have plenty of material and pleasure to follow my OCD's orders. :=)
You have a huge collection of coins my friend, thanks for sharing them with us, cheers.
Thank you, my friend. It is good to see you here.
