The 1995-1996 Olympic Coin Dies are pretty special and unique, not only because they were the very first dies officially marketed and sold directly by the US Mint, but they are also highly sought after because they show almost all of the original striking surface on the die, since they were only canceled with a thin X machined across the face of the die and not completely defaced like most other dies on the market.
The story behind these dies goes that since sales of the Commemorative Olympic Coins were disappointingly low, the Mint decided to do something unprecedented by offering the dies used in the program for sale to the public in order to create interest in the series and to hopefully boost sales. The dies offered for sale included $5 gold coin dies in both proof and uncirculated versions from the West Point Mint, and the proof-only silver dollars dies from the Philadelphia Mint. The Mint did not sell any of the Denver Mint uncirculated silver dollar dies or any of the half dollar dies. According to Steven Bieda’s article in the Numismatist, “No half dollar dies were released (to be sold), apparently because the Mint had qualms about publicly dispersing coin dies for a denomination that still circulated.”
So, the Mint offered a total of 2,833 X-canceled dies in its 1997 Holiday Catalog, for $49 each, although no choice was given between denomination or between obverse and reverse dies. Because of the high demand and low availability, there were many orders which didn’t get fulfilled.
If you were lucky enough to have purchased one of these dies when they were first issued at only $49 a piece, you made a great investment, since your die is now worth between $600 and $2,500! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the rest of the dies released by the US Mint which were completely defaced.
