| In 1995, the United States Mint offered three different Young Collectors Edition Coin Sets with two for the Olympics to be held in Atlanta in 1996. The second of the Olympic coin sets included a clad half dollar for baseball. The coin set package - six inches by six inches by 1/4 inch - is made with an outer sleeve constructed of card stock printed in color and an inner package, also of color card stock, folded to protect the coin and provide several surfaces on which to share information about the Olympic Games and the commemorative coins. On the front of the package, Jeremiah and Christina play baseball with Jeremiah ready to catch a fly ball with his glove as Christina watches. Charlie, their dog, sits in the dugout watching the game. The title of the package states, "Young Collector's Edition Series 2" at the top with "U.S. Olympic Coins of the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games" near the bottom.
