Fujairah - 1972 Olympics commemoratives, 1970 silver 5 riyals and 1970 gold 50 riyals

Lot Title:	Fujairah - 1972 Olympics commemoratives, 1970 silver 5 riyals and 1970 gold 50 riyals
Lot Number:	89
Description:	Ben Bishop Collection. Limited mintage in proof format for the 1970 50-riyals of 400 pieces helps ensure the collectability of this rather attractive gold coin. It is comprised of 0.2998-oz of pure gold. Accompanying is a 5-riyals which itself saw only 1300 issued in proof format, comprised of 0.4822-oz of silver. Retention within their original PVC sleeves (and packaging) urgently will prompt notions of having them properly conserved, yet the coins themselves appear to have full integrity of surface quality. 1972 Olympic commemorative examples in this two coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
