Today I got the same two coins, but with the dates flipped: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
In the case of this coin and many other set issues from around the world, 'proof-like' is its own finish, rather than a descriptor for an early...
You are correct on both counts. However, this isn't a proof, but a proof-like coin, or Special Uncirculated to use the Franklin Mint's terminology.
The other day, I was perusing ebay to pass the time, and I noticed an auction that was about to end for a 1979 Bahamas 25 Cents in a Franklin Mint...

Do you have the various 2014 anniversary coins?
As far as I know, it's the regular design. Is the '96 a full set or just the $1? I don't think it does either. Now that you mention it, no I...
I've never seen a 91 or 96 set. I've seen loose 91 $2s, but these are apparently silver. I've also seen mention of 2000 15c, 50c, and $1,...
I saw your post about the $1s and $2s in the Solomon Islands thread. The only cu-ni uncirculated coins that I'm confident exist are the 89 and 92...
One curiosity I've come across is the 1 cent from this year. You have the typical Franklin Mint uncirculated and proof finishes: [ATTACH]...
