Question
Hi, how much is a 1973 2 dollar flamingo coin of the Bahamas worth (sterling silver proof)?
Hi Tracey, There were 50,000 minted by the Franklin Mint (FM) of the Proof 1973 Bahamas $2 coins. It contains .8862 of an ounce of silver. It may be worth about $18.50 depending on amount of collector demand.
Current gold and silver values: http://www.kitco.com/market/ .
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
