7Jags, I have a lot of coins and sets like that. PM me and we can discuss what we have. Going out right now. Be back around 9:00 PM ET.

 

Guess I should have posted this in the Low Mintage post! LOL. Maybe two or three.
I hope u812? can help out with these later coins or sets in the 1983-85 range, even a few from 1982 are really interesting.

 

Here's an update: I have not seen ANY 1984 Jamaica specimen sets (Franklin Mint). Often times the FM "Coins of All Nations" appear and these are of mixed years with interestingly up to three lower denominations 1984 with FM mintmark - the 20c, 25c, 50c coins.
Of course, although scarce the 1984 Jamaica Proof sets do show up on Ebay and other venues.
Almost 10 years ago I saw the specimen set for sale in Eastern Europe that was unconfirmed and then actually missed one on Ebay by TEN MINUTES.
So I know they exist but driving me crazy trying to find one.

However, I have NEVER seen the Uncirculated 1984 FM Ten Dollar coin for sale. The bad part is I can not recall the provenance of this particular coin.
Anyway, if anyone has further information or discussion do feel free to post or PM.
BTW, I can not see how this coin only rated a "66"....

 

Is this coin silver?
The only listings I see are for the silver proofs 1100 minted.
Maybe this was a proof that was taken out of the packaging.
They don't list any non proof coins as this coin was not for circulation.

 

Yes, most definitely a copper nickel coin and a P-L uncirculated strike. Very rare - if anybody appreciates that, but also IMHO quite attractive.
I have some familiarity with these FM coins and also have the very rare and generally unlisted Trinidad and Tobago 1984 uncirculated Ten Dollar coin and the Barbados 1984 uncirculated Ten Dollar coin and the uncirculated Belize 1984 Ten Dollar coin, etc
These are all copper nickel P-L strikes and all gotten in different venues over many years.
