Wow, I really like the 1888, the eagle and surrounding fields are lovely. Admittedly not my series, but very, very nice. Unfortunate stereotype...
Actually these were bullion coins that saw heavy circulation and very few survived. So initial mintage probably does not reflect especially the...
This is a coin that has little respect, nor does its larger sovereign brother although both are rare in higher grades. Gold from the London mint...
Yes indeed, perfectly legal and something to behold. They were ahead of their time and much of the engraving on both these and many others was...
Thanks for posting, there are really so very many. I have to think of what my favorite actually is. Perhaps I will post tomorrow to add.
Which, the 1983 Spanish language or the 1983 8 coin? I have looked, to no avail, for the 1984 8 coin set. The 1985 only came in 8 coin format,...
Yes indeed, but here is the full listing, and they did say San Francisco, not Philly, and also mentioned that the proof 1Bs were not from...
Numista has been wrong on some of the Franklin mint issues, that is for sure. My comment was as to the unlikeliness of the RCM striking the lone...
Here are the pictures of the 1983FM set with Spanish Box and card labelling - I have seen this on some of the gold issues, but not the sets. The...
I included the matte 1975FM 20 Balboa as in my experience this is the rarest of all 20 Balboa coins in any format. Krause notes that many matte...

I'll dig out some pictures. The three largest denominations were 0.925 silver through 1979, and then went to 0.500 in 1980. In 1982, some of the...
Nicely done! I have posted some Panama and really love them. See the post on the 1983 set with packaging including the card in Spanish. Also I...
Here ya go: [ATTACH]
Fake....
LOL, yea I think it might hurt more than a bit to have a spear shoved in you. I can post obverse of the medal tonight - warning: it is not IMO...
I recently got this coin on eBay, and wanted to share: [ATTACH]
Ah, 20 20 hindsight. We’ve probably all second guessed our bidding moves. I thought about bidding on those sovs but let them go - just weren’t my...
Very nice set there. The FM has struck many interesting and even beautiful coons and medals which can be favorably priced as well. The OP Coin...
Yes, that is how it worked "back in the day" and the Franklin Mint had similar contracts with many other countries such as Bahamas, Barbados,...
