Numismatics fans who have seen thousands of sets of bills and coins may already have an idea of which ones are the ugliest. Some might agree on one part, but not on another.
Anyway, if you look through the newest coin sets, there are a few that stand out. What about the Special Olympics in 1995-P $1, DCAM (Proof)?
1995-P $1 Special Olympics Coin
This $1 bill was made at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. It was made by T. James Ferrell and Thomas D. Rogers. The number of coins made is 351,764. This Special Olympics coin is 90% silver and 10% copper.
It is reeded again, like many other edges from the U.S. Mint. It has a diameter of about 38.10 mm and weighs only 26.73 g. The level of grading at PCGS is PR70CAM.
This dollar was first made in 1995, but the last time it was sold at auction was more than fifteen years ago. Also, the price is fair for something so new.
Auction record price for 1995-P $1 Special Olympics Coin, DCAM (Proof)
Pro Coin Grading Services says the highest price ever paid at auction was $814 on June 22, 2008. The auction was run by Heritage Auction and was called the Sunday Internet Coin Auction #68065.
The price range was $140 to $814, which is a great price. Just so you know, this silver dollar was made to honor the Special Olympics World Games.
Making a picture of a living person was also controversial. In the middle, on the front, it showed Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter if it’s an ugly dollar or not; what matters is why her profile was picked.
She came up with the idea for the Special Olympics and was a well-known supporter of people with intellectual disabilities. On the back, there is a lovely message that says, “As we hope for the best in them, hope is born again in us.”
