<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheGame, post: 26609005, member: 82655&quot;]I love Bahamian coins! While I normally only collect circulation coins, the Bahamas is one place where I go out of my way to get all the set coins as well. Here are a few of my more interesting 10 Cents:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><b>1969, Proof</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1696160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696161[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">While not rare in absolute or even relative terms, these 1969 proofs stick out as the only mass-produced proof set made before the Franklin Mint took over those duties. Unfortunately, they aren&#039;t as high quality as the FM coins are.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>1973, Circulation</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1696164[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696165[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">This Royal Mint-made coin is a unique type, as the FM set coins of the time left out the first &#039;THE&#039; in the legend.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>1977-FM, Special Uncirculated</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1696162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696163[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">One of the lowest-mintage coins in my collection, with 713 minted.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>1984-FM, Proof</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1696166[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696167[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">The second to last proof issue by the Franklin Mint, and the one with the lowest mintage, at 1036.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>1992, Mint Set</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1696168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1696169[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">After the Franklin Mint quit coin production, the Royal Mint took over set production for the Bahamas, although these would be more sporadic than the FM sets. Mint sets were produced in 1989, 91, 92, 96, and 2000, and proof sets were produced in 1989 and 1998. This coin comes from a 1992 mint set, a date which most likely wasn&#039;t made for circulation for this denomination.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
