<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 26248865, member: 78719&quot;]I know this subject has been broached before and probably not many care, but the standard currency metal coins of 1994 Cook Islands seem to be decidedly elusive &amp; wonder if they were ever actually released. On top of that, their proof versions which I have not seen individually appear very rare as a set.</p><p>This coinage was evidently contracted out and there were supposedly authorised 20,000 mint sets of circulation quality coins (1c through $2) and another authorised 200 proof sets of said coinage, along with many hundreds of thousands struck for circulation.</p><p>If you look in the old Krause or NGC or Numista the individual coins are valued at just a couple of dollars each &amp; these figures and values have been propagated on other sites.</p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER, I have severe doubts that even a few of these in any of the above (currency, unc. sets, proof sets) were ever actually released. I could find neither hide nor hair evidence of them so perhaps of interest to those such as myself that love the mystery and the hunt for rare and inexpensive pieces....</p><p>I did many years ago hear rumours of said scarcity and got the proof set of that year, and have my own mystery as not sure just what I did with it!
