Message:: [QUOTE="7Jags, post: 26604653, member: 78719"]I continue to search eBay, even after all these years. The finds are fewer and further between but quite exciting when they do turn up. This last year I had more than my share (eg PROOF 1966 Bahamas 9 coin Set, NOT uncirculated, 1976FM Uncirculated 8 Piece Guyana set, NOT proof). Over the last 5 years it has been 1 to 2 finds per year. BUT, not all apparent finds are hits and this last week I had one hit and TWO strikes: I got a 1984FM Bahamas 25 cents that was a lightly circulated CURRENCY coin:[ATTACH=full]1695777[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695778[/ATTACH] Then I got these two Panama pills, 1983FM and 1984FM 2 1/2 centesimos, that looked to possibly be undiscovered and unlisted PL currency uncirculated specimens: [ATTACH=full]1695779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695784[/ATTACH] Looks pretty good and I bid and won, HOWEVER, this is how the three looked in hand - the Bahamas probably a PL currency (see my earlier story about one of these I got slabbed on Cointalk), with the 2 pills being PROOF and not uncirculated specimen coins.
