<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8056368, member: 78719&quot;]I think this is the type of problem that I have noted. Obviously we can not prove it, but I am still waiting for a post-1977 matte coin or set to show up, particularly in the era 1978-1984 from any of their &quot;client&quot; nations. Also, I too have been very suspicious of some of the bookwork - if we can call it that - which was or was NOT going on at that time.</p><p>T, have you seen any mattes from Solomon after 1977?</p><p>The earlier 1975-77 matte coins were to the best of my knowledge shipped to the central banks. As far as sets, I have not seen any officially packaged matte sets either; I have a 1975 Barbados matte set that was put in a Capitol Plastics holder that appears from the era but not governmental.</p><p>As something of an olde dogge, I remember at the time there being NO matte sets for sale of any nation even though the 1974 sets were universally struck in matte. I would be very suspicious of their listed mintages of mattes.</p><p>As an example, supposedly 5,000 matte Jamaica dollar coins were struck individually but are seemingly much scarcer on the ground.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
