Yes, most definitely a copper nickel coin and a P-L uncirculated strike. Very rare - if anybody appreciates that, but also IMHO quite attractive....
Here's an update: I have not seen ANY 1984 Jamaica specimen sets (Franklin Mint). Often times the FM "Coins of All Nations" appear and these are...
Some while I got as a part of an auction lot this 1927 D Peace dollar raw (MS63-4?) but had a bit of difficulty making out the mintmark. Maybe my...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I recall recently that an MS64 5 c. went for USD 1600+! I want to have a graded set of the earlier coins and...
I got this recently from an obscure European source along with some other coins (the others disappointed me). GTG if you wish but had a hard time...

48 year old coin from the FM: [ATTACH]
As I had to remove coins from the 1976 Specimen set because of oxidation spotting to some of the coins. I really hated breaking up the original...

Yes only a few known but I wonder if any missed in the 4 coin proof set of Britannia gold in that year.
Yes I agree as none known to my knowledge in other that 0.500 fine silver - not all that fine....LOL

PCGS: Well it is the coin number and not the cert number - 546244 Satin specimen 64 grade (IMHO a bit mean at that grade).
Mule obverse of earlier type: [ATTACH] I will sell mine for 60% off that price and throw on a beer!
Readers may know of this coin, it is the 2002 Great Britain 1/10 ounce Britannia struck as a “mule”. The obverse is incorrect and is of the type...
I don’t seem to be able to get a decent obverse picture, but the reverse lovely of this transitional year. Quite hard to find this nice: [ATTACH]
