<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8487043, member: 78719&quot;]Sorry I left this thread to flounder in history!</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the Liberia coins I would classify as more &quot;satin&quot; in appearance similar to matte but IMHO just not quite there, and they have the FM mintmark/monogram. I have not found any 1983 coins, the 1984 I have seen are in the &quot;Franklin Mint Coins of All Nations&quot; series from that time frame and include FM specimens with the 1984 date of 1c, 5c and 10c denominations. They are probably somewhat scarce but have not found out how many sets were released from this series. I can dig my set out if anyone interested.</p><p>I believe that there has been posting of this on other topics if you run a search, complete with pictures.</p><p>Meanwhile, NO other information on Barbados issues of the FM for 1984. I still am of the belief that no matte 1984 coins were struck, and the uncirculated coins of this year from FM are of the (U) prooflike format.</p><p>To confuse issues, some of the 1984 coins without the FM mintmark and slight differences were struck by the Royal Mint do don&#039;t forget this.</p><p>I have not been able to find 1984 FM examples of the 1c, 5c, 10c or $2 denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, the 10 dollar (U) dolphins coin was not released in set form and instead bagged up and sent out, probably to Barbados itself &amp; therefor examples shown here are most likely from that source (bag). No way of guessing mintage but they are likely quite scarce - unless someone is holding remainders of the theoretical bag (ie bank employees of the Central Bank or others???).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
