What is the value of the 1992 US Olympic Coins Prestige Set?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are worth their combined silver value. There were many coins minted in order to help pay for the games. This however, means that their value as collectibles is low. Some coins were minted in !973 and these should be more valuable than the later mintings because there were less of these produced. Remember when calculating the silver value of sterling silver coins that it is only the actual silver content ( .925 ) and not the total weight of the coin. Eg: if coin weight is 25 grams then 25 x .925 would give you the actual silver weight which in this case would be 23.125

Who were the first olympic judges?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unlike the modern Olympics, judges did not come from all over the Greek world, but were drawn from Elis, the local region which included Olympia. The number of judges increased to 10 as more events were added to the Olympics.

Even though the judges were all Eleans, local Elean Greeks were still allowed to compete in the Olympics. The Elean people had such a reputation for fairness that an Elean cheating at the Games was a shock to other Greeks.

How many countries will participate in the Commonwealth Games?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although there are 53 Commonwealth countries, there are 71 Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs) registered that can enter a team in the Commonwealth Games. This is because some Commonwealth countries have more than one CGA, in many cases due to their past histories as separate nations in their own rights. An example of this is the United Kingdom, which is now a single Commonwealth country, but which has seven CGAs, as Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey, all compete in the Games as separate nations.

The original Commonwealth Games in 1930 had 11 countries competing. The number of countries entering has steadily grown, with a few blips due to boycotts as a result of political pressure. Nigeria boycotted the 1978 Games in protest of New Zealand's sporting contacts with apartheid-era South Africa, and 32 of 59 nations from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean boycotted the 1986 Commonwealth Games due to the Thatcher government's attitude towards South African sporting contacts. Boycotts were also threatened in 1974, 1982, and 1990 because of South Africa.

The 71 competing nations in the 2006 Commonwealth Games were:

  • Anguilla
  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Australia
  • Bahamas
  • Bangladesh
  • Barbados
  • Belize
  • Bermuda
  • Botswana

How many medals has Northern Ireland won in the Olympics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Northern Ireland does not have an Olympic Committee and, therefore, does not compete as an independent nation at the Olympics. Athletes from Northern Ireland may compete for either Ireland or Great Britain.

Athletes from Northern Ireland that won medals at the 2008 Games in Beijing include Paddy Barnes, born in Armoy, who won bronze in men's light-flyweight boxing for the team from Ireland and Wendy Houvenaghel, born in Magherafelt, who won silver in women's 3000 meter individual pursuit cycling for the team from Great Britain.

Why is china so good in the Olympics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is very difficult to find the one main reason why China is doing so well. Here are a few possibilities:

  1. China may be training harder than the competitors.
  2. China may have better mentors/coaches.
  3. China may have more hardworking athletes.

The possibilities are truly endless.
