<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheGame, post: 7944805, member: 82655&quot;]One curiosity I&#039;ve come across is the 1 cent from this year. You have the typical Franklin Mint uncirculated and proof finishes:</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1375790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1375791[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]1375792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1375793[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I&#039;ve also come across some coins that look as though they may be circulation coins minted by the Royal Mint.

These coins appear to be a little bit more brass in color than the FM coins, have a more vibrant luster, and as is typical of Royal Mint issues of the period, tons of bagmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t managed to find one of these coins to view it in hand. In theory, it should be somewhat easy to find, with a listed mintage of 125,000 (note that 25,000 of these are probably the FM set coins). It is one of only 6 coins I believe I need to have a complete circulation date set from 1966 to date for the Bahamas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
