Sell Your Silver 1912 Stockholm Olympics Medal

The 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden were the fifth modern Olympics and brought together 2,407 athletes from 28 countries. The games have been referred to as the “Swedish Masterpiece” due to the efficiency of preparation involved, the first use of a public address system and introduction of electronic timing equipment for track events. Native American Jim Thorpe was the show stealer of the 1912 Olympics by winning two gold medals with large margins in the pentathlon and decathlon events.
