The OP, that is his site....
Indeed, it is. Not the ordinary one however. This is the extremely rare matte proof.
Yes, easily had but not the OP coin in (U).
Nope, not AFTER 1974. Up through that date, yes, they all were.
Paddy, that is Mister T's site! LOL
I'll put it to you like this - if it is actually only a 62 or 3 I would eat my hat. Here are a couple more pictures, the surface is NOT reflective...
I will try to do better on the photos, they do seem to not reproduce well and shooting through plastic and not getting glare is problematic. Tried...
Good spot there. I concur with the guess. Can you identify if this is a rare coin or not?
This grade has REALLY gotten under my craw. I bought the set nearly 20 years ago from Spink and believe it to have come from the Pretoria Mint...

Here are some pictures I’ll try for better lighting[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
OK, don't bust me on this, but no pictures just yet as I am at work. What is the news? Well, just yesterday I got one of the "White Whales" that...
And this is EXACTLY the coin I love to look for, and even better to find!!! Very nice job! Probably a few others out there. I have a sneaking...
Yes, prooflike. I think they put it in a holder near to the date of issue... I rather like the design and am trying to find the 1975 matte of this....
OK, I'm not trying to wear readers out but I have been collecting and studying currency (and proof) issues of the Franklin Mint from the 1970s and...
BTW, and this may be for a few readers only, but I am trying to find ANY evidence of any Post-1977 matte coins struck by the FM for ANY country...
If you ever do find a source for mintages, please do share if you are able.
Interesting phenom as there were evidently quite few struck for currency, perhaps 11k in number so of necessity not many were struck and therefore...
