Question
Silver proof w/COA etc.
General worth and what may
I expect a dealer to offer?
Thanks
Hi Kurt, There were 59.000 of these Bahamian $2 coins minted that year and it contains .8862 of an ounce of silver (currently about $14.15).
Current gold and silver values: http://www.kitco.com/market/ .
Catalog value in the Standard Catalog of World Coins (try a library) is $18.50 but a dealer would likely offer only silver value for it in hopes of making a profit.
