I have two proofs of the 1984FM 25c and many of the details like the wavelets, rigging do NOT match up. The reverse (coat of arms) has some...
Ok, here is one I have never seen before and not even rumored to exist. It is a Bahamas 1984 Franklin Mint struck currency uncirculated 25c coin....
Yes, here is a picture of the identical area off a 1961 Liberia one cent with designer’s initials “DH”: [ATTACH] Good spot Sir!
Please go to the opposite side of the baseline and above the grass at about the 8 o'clock position and almost at the linear border - the classical...
The capper is that it is of course very scarce as a date and frankly quite rare in such condition. To use the overused phrase likely "Finest...

Here is a coin to look at, and with an interesting story. Rare would be it as well. This coin was struck in 1922 and is one of five, each of a...
You know, I really love this shilling and will pit it up against virtually any as the finest Victorian shilling I have seen as it is well struck...
Yes, and the letter was sent along with the crown from seller from ??South Africa. It was interesting and so saved it. Don't know about the "very...
Yes, that was my read as well. I guess I should stop being lazy and look up who the Deputy Mint Master (not listed as known on Wikipedia) was to...
