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 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...
Don't forget that they can always claim "mechanical error" when caught in their "stuff". Also, some of these mechanical errors have somehow been...
Unfortunate mushy strike there with a baggy appearance. The inner and outer edges of the rims look good - something I always look for. I just...
Wow, what then is going on with the warrior's face,head and chest (best seen on the blowup)? The two legs, the hand to our right? I wish to God...
The ACsearch is OK starting point, but there seem to have been a number in group lots & firms such as Baldwin's or DNW have had some I could not...
1841 Sov - that is impressive!
Separate names with a comma.
