I found a 1995 Atlanta Olympics Baseball Half Dollar in a bank wrapped roll of halves

Pretty interesting find; didn't even know they had minted these coins

Four of these special commemorative clads have been found during 2010 by our half dollar searchers. I found a basketball Atlanta '95 myself last September 2009. They're kinda neat...
There are four types of the '95 Atlanta halves which portray the following sports: basketball, baseball, soccer, and swimming.

PS, I have found the swimming, basketball, and baseball comms while roll searching. Not in the best of shape but are cool finds.

I found one of those 1995 or 1996 Olympic Swimming halves and sold it on ebay for over $100 a couple of years ago.

Yea, the swimming one is the good one in the series. Redbook is like $150 if I remember correctly. Too bad mine had a hole boared through it and looked like it sat on a busy street for a few months.
