OJ Simpson Coin

I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I cannot find ANY information on a coin I've been holding.

It is a One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver coin.
The front has a picture of OJ Simpson's Bust and is entitled:
O.J. Simpson
and the electric company

The back is titled:
THE DREAM SEASON
1973

and lists all of his accomplishments of that year.

The Certificate of Authenticity claims that the coin was commissioned by O.J. and that Blair Buswell did the image on the coin (he was the artist who sculpted OJ's bust for the Hall of Fame).
It goes on to say that only 5000 were minted and this coin has a "1506" stamped in the edge of the coin.

It looks as if it was minted in 1994 and has the marking TM JJ&SSC 1994 on the back.

I cannot find anything about this coin anywhere. I've gone as far as e-mailing the sculptor (with no response).

Any help from anybody?

Thanks in advance.

    That coin was commissioned by a Buffalo coin dealer. O.J. and A Electric company put out a limited edition of siver and gold coins. This was approved by Simpson from his L.A. jail cell in 1994. Not sure the value.

    Regardless, I think it important that everyone here know the truth, Sir Bob: You are a witch — you turned me into a newt.
