I'll put it to you like this - if it is actually only a 62 or 3 I would eat my hat. Here are a couple more pictures, the surface is NOT reflective...
I will try to do better on the photos, they do seem to not reproduce well and shooting through plastic and not getting glare is problematic. Tried...
Good spot there. I concur with the guess. Can you identify if this is a rare coin or not?
This grade has REALLY gotten under my craw. I bought the set nearly 20 years ago from Spink and believe it to have come from the Pretoria Mint...
Hmmm, last first: FM prepared their own designs based on original RM designs. Remember though that on practical dissolution of the FM minting,...
I think this is the type of problem that I have noted. Obviously we can not prove it, but I am still waiting for a post-1977 matte coin or set to...
So a minor point but what is interesting is on the informational sheet under the COA, it looks like they went to a bush league printer as opposed...
Here are some pictures I’ll try for better lighting[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
OK, don't bust me on this, but no pictures just yet as I am at work. What is the news? Well, just yesterday I got one of the "White Whales" that...
And this is EXACTLY the coin I love to look for, and even better to find!!! Very nice job! Probably a few others out there. I have a sneaking...
Yes, prooflike. I think they put it in a holder near to the date of issue... I rather like the design and am trying to find the 1975 matte of this....
OK, I'm not trying to wear readers out but I have been collecting and studying currency (and proof) issues of the Franklin Mint from the 1970s and...
BTW, and this may be for a few readers only, but I am trying to find ANY evidence of any Post-1977 matte coins struck by the FM for ANY country...
If you ever do find a source for mintages, please do share if you are able.
Interesting phenom as there were evidently quite few struck for currency, perhaps 11k in number so of necessity not many were struck and therefore...
The mint sets started in 1978 strangely and supposedly about 200 struck and sent off in a bag. They all have bag marks (that I have seen). So 1977...
Yes, exactly. Rather odd.... I am trying to find the 7 coin year 2000 millennium Bahamas unc. set with the dollar.
Yes, I have tried twice to respond - the RM have a relationship with Sovereign Rarities. RM sources recent releases through the latter and the...
And here it is, with all the surface junk removed (correctly): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Ah, somewhere I have a similar example of your last. Now, where is it?
Separate names with a comma.
