RR Auction: Olympics Auction

Auction Details

Following up record-setting performances in past Olympic sales, RR Auction is proud to return to the Olympics with a July 2017 auction devoted exclusively to the field. From the first modern Games in Athens in 1896 through the recent Rio 2016 Summer Games, this auction boasts more than 230 lots representing over a century of Olympics. Featuring coveted medals, torches, and other memorabilia, the variety of material will appeal to both long-time collectors and those new to the genre.

Highlights include a complete set of Winter Games participation medals, a near-complete set of Summer participation medals, an excessively rare 1936 IOC member’s ‘Golden Chain of Office,’ a 1936 Garmisch second-place silver medal, a ‘Chelyabinsk meteorite’ medal from Sochi 2014, and a series of sought-after torches from across the decades. Please contact our Olympic Auction Director, Tricia Eaton, at Tricia@RRAuction.com with any inquiries; condition statements are available upon request.
