    For what it's worth, I'd say the Bolivar is definitely MS and the dollar may be as well.

  12. I can't believe y'all let @spirityoda slip by with that misattribution of the upper left coin. If one cannot simply read Bahamas on its obverse legend, it's reverse with two bonefish, for which fishing in the BAHAMAS is famous, is a dead give-away.

    And since when is the BAHAMAS in the Caribbean? Look at a map… it's in the Atlantic. I realize it's frequently associated with the Caribbean family of nations, but that's a pet peeve of mine. It's location in the Atlantic and proximity to the U.S.A. makes it different from any other Caribbean island nation. People refer to Cuba & it's Communism with alarm, noting it's "only 90 miles from our shores!" Hate to tell you folks… the distance from Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island is only about 60 miles! That close proximity makes The Bahamas historically & culturally different from all the others of our Caribbean neighbors.

    yup I stand corrected it is Bahamas. sorry about that. the KM#61 is still correct. thanks for the correction.
     
  14. You're forgiven …undoubtedly an error made in the interest of speed that day. BTW, love your avatar kitty-cat's face! Sam_I_am

    yup I rushed it because I did it before work. I should have rechecked everything. 1 of 3 cats Max is in my avatar and my very 1st cat. the other 2 black cats adopted me from outside. they mean the world to me.
