    Are you trying to get the silver or base metal set of 1984 proof?

    I will look and see if I might have a double on one - you already have the '83, right?

    Update to this OP - about 2 years ago I was able to secure an original 1984FM Specimen set of Trinidad and Tobago. It was a convoluted story but basically got it through a seller in T&T that refused to send to USA even via FedEx or any other means. How frustrating.
    HOWEVER, I have some friends from Guyana and T&T and as they were visiting Port-au-Spain in T&T were able after great trouble able to get me my set and bring it safely back to me. They know people that worked in the Central Bank in '84 and it was known even then to be VERY difficult to get a hold offs there were so few available and evidently never offered for sale in the USA. This was the last year of FM T&T and no more struck by them.....
