Purchased for my daughter who is very involved in biathlon... wish it was a female athlete, but oh well, she'll love it just the same and keep it forever. Not bought for any sort of investment value, but a wonderful gift.

1) Great quality: both design and craftsmanship 2) It would be even better if the Olympic circles were coloured 3)Quite pricey, but it is worth it. It is for those who are quality driven. 4) I should have ordered other coins from this series earlier, but I waited for too long and missed other coins.

The design of the coin was very interesting and the fact that its about the upcoming Olympics makes it quite unique.

I bought all four coins. It took awhile for the mint to ship them and I had to phone to ask why I had not recieved them, But once I got them I was shocked how good the quality was. If you don't think these coins are worth it, THINK AGAIN!!! They are worth every penny. Good job to the Russian Federation Mint.
