They taught us human anatomy starting with [fetal] pigs, and it is said there is virtually no taste difference between bacon (aka pig butt) and...
Actually 1952 sixpences were struck in GB, and to the tune of just over a million pieces. They are fairly available except for true Uncirculated...
Here’s a couple I like: 1953 - proof cameo 67+ 1953 - matte proof 1869 - proof, no slacker this .....LOL [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
He is a National hero that led a breakout slave rebellion of 2,500 slaves against the Dutch in the region of Berbice, which later became British...
Yes, beautiful coins, the simple renditions of animals done so very well - almost medallic. I even like the larger National Heroes - as opposed to...
Here is the PL version of the 1976 25c - (U) and this from a Bank of Guyana set:[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Franklin Mint, I mean....I stay on the lookout for these. Krause does some detail on these, but see previous posts of mine about the finishes on...

I don't know as the Royal Mint promised to respond to me on their Facebook site and I also sent the requests through their web site. Not to...

Get the slow-motion popcorn out as we can all learn....
Yea, I don't agree with that at all. They pumped some life into an otherwise very boring series with an upgrade on the diework and more...
Well, many mints do have a difference between the specimen like (non proof) uncirculated sets and the coins minted for circulation....This is what...
Except they are not forthcoming in many instances. For the defunct Franklin Mint, these likely will never be available. The Royal Mint does NOT...
I do know that Mister T in his area is as fanatical as I am in mine so am guessing he then has sources (as he seems to indicate in his post) for...
Ah, OK then. And what would the differences be between the circulation and set pieces?
Too bad you have that spin to it, but not all of us do. The Franklin Mint made some wonderful versions, especially the 20 Balboas - I like the...
