<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 2421841, member: 78719&quot;]Hmmm, don&#039;t see your pictures....Well, the FM struck proofs of these and that&#039;s where they made their money although the mintage of even these proofs were by this time severely falling off. They evidently had to make &quot;circulation strike&quot; coins to supposedly legitimize the proofs and so a few were sent to the Central Bank of whichever country.</p><p>In the case of the 1982 and 1983 Belize 100 Dollars, the mintage of uncirculated coins amounted to, respectively, TEN and TWENTY specimens.</p><p>There are also very, very rare patterns such as the Belize Unc. mule 1982 10 dollar coin that seems to have had a mintage of THREE.</p><p>About 3 years ago, I found at auction a pattern Panama 1983 FM 25 Centimos with reverse having &quot;Ley 0.500&quot; although it was stuck in Copper Nickel and none were ever made in silver for that denomination. I remember that I got it for about 25.00, and it is not in any catalog. Fun stuff![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
