Wow, Ed that is very impressive. There was a recent sad NY Times editorial that briefly recomprised the history of Guyana in a critique of a...
Ah yes, thanks for those pictures. For some reason they struck quite a few of some of the other years & I think it was (??) 1988 that a couple of...
Yes indeed, but it was the rarity and particularly the preservation of this coin that is remarkable. Considerable searching will likely not yield...
This is a little-known coin, whose existence I ascertained but was unable to find for many years. This coin is a very small brassy pot metal...
Yes, that is a die scratch or defect that because of the smaller size didn't even notice at first!. In hand, think the coin likely a "2" or so, no...
A very nice coin, that looks to have been dipped, and possibly a VERY light wipe but quite presentable and RARE.
I would request a 105% deal. Stack's is always a bit conservative in their auction estimates, as are many competitors. I eventually went with them...
Very dark photo, but there looks NOT to be wear in the key spots like Brit's hand, shoulder, knee, helm & Vick's hair & cheek look good, rim...
Yes, I hear that bit, but unfortunately also as it represented a lot of money many were turned in, I have read, and not sure how many actually...
Nice, but you need better lighting in the photos. The spots on Vick's jowls and cheek look to be friction as do the veil folds. The reverse is...
A 1938 is common as mud in higher grades? Hmm, I don't see as many as I would expect if we compare to the much lower mintages of currency Wreath...
Ah, well, a Churchill WITHOUT BAGMARKS (!!!) is worth a substantial premium. PM me if you have one for sale in fact. The usual ones are probably...
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.
