<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8046670, member: 78719&quot;]BTW, and this may be for a few readers only, but I am trying to find ANY evidence of any Post-1977 matte coins struck by the FM for ANY country (other the the somewhat satiny finish 1984FM Liberia 1c, 5c, 10c).</p><p>I believe that Krause has got this wrong. Are (M) matte coins listed for years AFTER 1977 in error? I have found no evidence of their existence. Schon is another catalogue I use for this era of coins but insists on lumping many modern issues together by type, including FM, and do not clearly separate the varied types such as (U), (M), or (P). This format of theirs makes it&#039;s usage somewhat problematic.</p><p><br /></p><p>This relates to Solomons because Krause lists a 1978FM (M) matte format for the 5 Dollar denomination but I have had no confirmation of its existence.</p><p><br /></p><p>A question then:&nbsp; what then of the numbers assigned to mintage of such coins? Was it simply an error in that they were actually (U) prooflike coins similar to those for the specimen sets of this year, or were they completely in error in that these coins may have been planned but not actually issued. These seeming errors have been propagated in Numista, Krause and others - I believe that these all were from figures that stemmed from information derived from the FM itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
