1996-P $1 High Jump Silver Commem - Proof

Issued to commemorate the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games, the 1996-P $1 Olympic High Jump Silver Commemorative Proof captures the height of athletic excellence and human aspiration. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in Proof condition, this 90% silver dollar showcases a dynamic image of a high jumper mid-flight, rendered in sharp frosted relief against deeply mirrored fields.

Collector Insight:

The 1996-P High Jump Proof Silver Dollar is one of the more scarce and visually compelling coins in the Olympic commemorative series. Its sharp detail and limited mintage make it a strong addition to collections focused on athletic achievement, Olympic history, or modern U.S. silver coinage.

• Mintmark: P (Philadelphia Mint)
• Condition: Proof - deep cameo contrast with mirror-like surfaces and frosted devices
• Obverse: Features a male high jumper in the middle of a Fosbury Flop, soaring over the bar—a striking representation of strength, grace, and determination. Designed by Marcel Jovine.
