Sorry I left out that Royal Mint took over minting 1985-2002 with Franklin striking through 1984 and long since halted minting.
I'm posting this mainly out of low level frustration: I started by collecting Franklin Mint issues of Jamaica as many sets of the early to mid-70s...
PS - BTW, if the experts at the auction house look at every item, then they may well not be experts. Not only that, even at leading NUMISMATIC...
I literally write the book. I have all coins in the series, the matte proof of 1927 and special issues of that date that were held by the Pretoria...

BTW, try floating this up on the Predecimal site if you want some more opinions...

And I concur with that about your set. However, it is a matter of record that such coins as the UNCIRCULATED Belize 1982 100 D. have traded for...
Yes, haven't figured out how to post. The closeup of the surface of OPs coin is other than wear and has many casting marks, surface roughness in...
Yes, there are some that regularly go well in excess of issue on the 'bay. These would, for example, be the 1984 & 85 issues in proof of...
As I am new to this forum, I will try to enclose a picture of a clearly good specimen:...
