Very dark photo, but there looks NOT to be wear in the key spots like Brit's hand, shoulder, knee, helm & Vick's hair & cheek look good, rim...
Yes, I hear that bit, but unfortunately also as it represented a lot of money many were turned in, I have read, and not sure how many actually...
Nice, but you need better lighting in the photos. The spots on Vick's jowls and cheek look to be friction as do the veil folds. The reverse is...
A 1938 is common as mud in higher grades? Hmm, I don't see as many as I would expect if we compare to the much lower mintages of currency Wreath...
Ah, well, a Churchill WITHOUT BAGMARKS (!!!) is worth a substantial premium. PM me if you have one for sale in fact. The usual ones are probably...
Very nice! No mintages apparently available. My guess is that it could have been 20 or so, but likely not more. I have no basis for this other...
Yes, that's the standard 5 oz size which seems a bit more available. The 61s harder to find, or at least what I have found.
I have been collecting this series for a while and occasionally get completely raw specimens, sometimes packed in a baggy only, or else in cracked...
Oh yours is Royal Mint Ms. Linda.
Values on PNG proof sets go up for the 1982-4 years. Barbados best years for proof and mint sets are 1981-4. The earlier years closer to the...
This a Royal Mint and not Franklin Mint product - they stopped making Barbados with the 1984 year with actual mint sets probably made last in 1983...
Oh, that explains the 400 dollar difference! LOL
[ATTACH] OK, this is my favorite by a country mile: those are die polish lines, gold essai with mintage 12.
Ugly as an MF. Why is the one on the left 488 and the two on the right 888?
Guess I should have posted this in the Low Mintage post! LOL. Maybe two or three. I hope u812? can help out with these later coins or sets in the...

I see what appears to be cleaning, and also like to look at edges - look at this one...many hits. Nice strike, I suspect if not BB'd it gets a 55.
I also vote for a RB, prob. 63 on the first (has nice hard lustre as the Brits like to say). Also on the AU55 train for the '02. Numismat, that...
Now a decent 1879 London Mint half sov is quite a challenge as well.
How is this OP coin not also dinged for strike with the piss poor strike on reverse toward edge at 10 o'clock, and that is a significant and large...
