 Historic Coin Collection - INAUGURAL SPORTS CHAMPIONS
(click on above image to enlarge)
Professional sports have been
part of American culture for over 100 years.
Only three teams throughout history can make the claim that they were
the first champions in their respective sports, making them great historic
events. This incredible coin set
features three legal tender U.S. State Quarters that were struck by the U.S.
Mint, then privately colorized with images of the first-ever championship
teams. In baseball, Boston won the
first even Baseball Championship in 1903 (Massachusetts State Quarter). In Football, Green Bay Packers won the first
ever Super Bowl in 1966 (Wisconsin State Quarter). In Basketball, Philadelphia
won the first even Basketball Championship in 1947 (Pennsylvania State Quarter)
