Default Looking for info on Franklin Mint Sterling Silver Olympic Proofs(1976)

I won this eBay auction the other day (sorry, Ira):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170037126806

I did a couple of Googles before I placed my bid and came to the
conclusion that these things had a melt value of around $50+.

Now that I have them in hand, it seems I was right. While they don't
include any specific composition information, they are "solid sterling
silver" and weigh (by my best guess) around 18 grams each.

At today's silver price, that puts the ten at almost $70 melt.

However, I've not had much luck finding out anything for sure.

Does anybody have any information on these things?

Following up to my own post...

I just found that there was an article in the ANA publication from June,
1976 titled, "Franklin Mint To Strike Official History Of Olympics
Series" (ANA, Vol.89, 1976 JUN, Pg.1272)

Anyone have this article or know where I can get a copy?
