thedeadpoint Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 WOW! That is incredible! I know nothing about the difficulty of that series. Can you tell us more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well done! I don't have any advice, but I always found the c/n 1/2d and 1d pieces to be pretty nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamaicacoincollector Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Jamaica is a former British colony and between 1869 and 1969 (exactly 100 years which is a nice coincidence) GB produced coins for use by people living in this island. Although the island became independent in 1962 it was 1969 the independent Jamaican government started to produce their own coins with prominent local people on the obverse. Coins were not produced every year but in only 56 of those 100 years. Only 3 coins were produced, the farthing, 1/2 penny and penny. And over those 56 years a total of 145 different coins were issued. And I now own 142 of them. Just those elusive 3 to go! So if anyone can help, please do.
