Well nice coin, not expensive and attractive. This version may have been aftermarket “prepped”. Does anyone have more information? [ATTACH]...
Yes, we have. You come across as [best case] a curmudgeon that might well stick to his own posts. I quite agree with the above that each may...
That would be a FALSE statement. The fact that you can see the new "FIVE DOLLARS" over the old "FIVE DOLLARS" absolutely does not. You may want to...
Because they are beautiful, and well-executed & if I may say, of course you would have no idea. They are not other than as put forward and...
LOL. Well, actually it is REAL. It was over struck on an actual Five Dollar Indian. So, yes it is. And it was struck by Daniel Carr. Methinks you...
Here ya go, an actual struck USA gold $5 (* well an asterisk for a reason - what is that?): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd do it! The gold more boring and IMHO gold when struck up just does not have that "tears of the sun" appearance that native high-percentage...
This came up for auction the other day in the Heritage sale. Note that this is a series I have followed for many years and note that I have NEVER...

Ok, this might be a bit esoteric but as I sporadically collect British Commonwealth Caribbean coins, I have a number of the 1968 Anguilla $25...
Wow, that is an impressive specimen! So I am not alone to be afflicted with such "disease"! LOL. The FM rarities are a different breed but MUCH...
Yes, generally it was although I think mildly cleaned in the past. Wonder if it will grade. The gold color of these older coins really does glow...
After a long travail, I at last got this coin from a Spanish auction. After all the time and crazy fees and bank declining transactions it arrived...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Absolutely first rate rarity is this set....A White Whale, so to speak!
Update to this OP - about 2 years ago I was able to secure an original 1984FM Specimen set of Trinidad and Tobago. It was a convoluted story but...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] First set is a proof set, the second set is the specimen set from which it came. The 5 dollar also has verdigris at...
Indeed! I do recall a 1984 Barbados Proof Set going for 1600+ USD....Who knows, but it seems that the FM issues have a "bifurcated" market with...
