All mint complete set of 12 commemoratives, all issued for the first modern Olympic Games, held in 1896 in Athens. The top three values are sound and F/VF (the 2d and 10d are OG H, the 5d is no gum), while there is the odd fault noted in a few of the lower values (small thins, small marginal tear on the 25 l value). This is the grandfather of all Olympic thematic sets! 2021 Scott Classic US$1,784.00=
