I recently bought a lot with 2 x 1978 Bahamas $10 coins. These are impressively large, and weigh 45 grams apiece. I'm wondering if anyone has...
Were any of these minted in brass, bronze, or gold?
That's a nice gift. I remember when I could buy those all the time for 10-20 cents. Now, they've got >$2.25 in silver value alone!
I'm interested in getting one of the ATB copper-nickel bullion coins. What are the steps I need to take for the contest?

That fee seems high - it's more of a "we don't want to do this, and have set a price to deter you". That said, driving an armored car 40+ miles...
Those look beautiful! And what was the melt back in 2009? A 1/4 of what it is now?

The reverse will tell you the denomination. That could be a 5, 10, or 20 centavo (hard to tell which - the font spacing makes me think it is a 10...
APMEX is showing that they are out of inventory now.
They're running a promo for first time orders on their mobile site: free shipping.
