Yes, much appreciated. I guess I am a bit interested in the unclear later history of the FM, and what happened to the library and specimens. I...
Yes, I think that is so & the newer iteration of coins being put out are taking no prisoners with all the gemstones, enamels, globe and cube and...
This is what my research turned up as examples of the last Franklin Mint struck coin (series) that I could find: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for the responses. Yes, I am aware of the demise of the FM and the modern iteration of it. Really almost NOTHING to do with the original...
From what I have been able to gather, and this is a pet collecting area of mine as many know, the last contract for actual coins struck by the...
Yes, a very nice coin. Was I graded? Was always hoping to get the 1894 2 Cup.
Yes, that halfcrown is a proof ex-Spink from about 25 years ago - probably more rare than catalogues suggest. The 1893 Jubilee sixpence is...
Which do you like, the small or big?? Anything special? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And here is another pleasantry: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Don't see a lot...
Yes, beautiful in proof. The first year 1869 shows up with some frequency. I have a few of the years in uncirculated: 1869, 1871, 1882, 1884,...
I just got this from an old retailer I used to go to and saw it - the pictures do not do the deep strike and wonderful lustre well enough but...
I was fortunate to get my own 1979FM Bahamas 25c as I said and this is it - and it came in the issue with the stamps as was the OP's. I think...
This was the last one of his that I got...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And then the others in Danny's series, just the obverse plus one extra (see...
Oops, yes forgot the 2 dollar coins as you are right. The 1980 Bahamas (U) 2 dollars used to be scarce to rare and then a bunch showed up, and now...
Notum: I saw a specimen in card the other day at the 5.99 price (plus minimal tax and shipping) so got it as I am a "completist". A truly...
I believe this was sold at Colin Adams Sale of Halfcrowns in 2005, and a wonderful coin which seems to be certified by PCGS as a "55" currency...
Ah yes, poor olde Krause, departed and missed, however many flaws. Have you seen matte versions of the 1975FM dollar, two dollars, five dollars?...
Update: I do not see evidence of a copper nickel uncirculated 1989 Bahamas 2 dollar silver piece. I did locate 1976 and 1977 FM pieces in matte...
In short, no! There were no specific records of which coins were struck when but seems to be the case that none were struck for upcoming or future...
No the mintage numbers FOR THE YEAR are correct but that is the number struck, even if some or many bear another date (ie. The 1854 number struck...
I think yours perfectly legitimate, and there is some variance although most think they remained unchanged from the original accepted 1848 pattern...
