Ok, the Franklin Mint rode into the numismatic fray in the mid to later '60s as many know. They were around striking coins for different nations...
Keep up with the detective work! I have been looking into the Royal Mint strikes of Bahamas $1 and $2 coins in the years 1989, 1991, 1992, 1996 -...
Wow, that is service! BTW, even the CuNi coin is catalogued well above the purchase price!
Schon has the CuNi listed at 28.28 gms. also. So weight not probably good enough. That is a very good and valuable catalog that is in some cases...
Wow, that sure does like copper nickel. I could not find the weight of the unc. version in CuNi. Will look tomorrow.
But you do have the FM version no doubt?
Well I have florins but not D&E coins....LOL, so that is their weight on the balance scale (don't laugh). Krause supports it as does your...
I am also seeing those specs on other sources.
This story gets told again every so often in the coin media. IMO it serves as a sort of warning to those that might abuse the collector market (ie...

The FM mintmark/monogram is readily seen on all the above BVI examples mostly on the reverse next to the birds. Post pictures and glad to help on...

I generally agree with your statement and will not mention specific examples but will not name the dealer, but there is one that has come to the...
There are polish lines on QE II neck in the OP and that two posts up but these IMO are in fact die polish lines on an area not as fully struck up...
Yes, I can not understand that at all. The so-called currency does not. As a specimen Essai strike with such a low mintage I guess they wanted a...
As an addendum, I have seen a number of Indian Head cents and early Lincolns that are slabbed and in all likelihood RECOLORED - in other words...
Well it is higher than that and is a specimen.... That coin went for barely the bullion price about 15 years ago. Incredible. In later years I got...
This is a coin that is IMO truly magnificent, although sadly the PCGS photos don't really do it justice as there are numerous die polishing marks....
A tribute to your beautiful coin:
Yes, no argument there. Meanwhile it is a lovely design and like the anthropomorphic theme.
