Question
Hello,

Is there anyway you can locate a 1985 Cayman islands snowy egret 50 dollar coin? thanks.

Answer
Hi Jerrique, There were 10,000 of these minted that year. It contains a huge 3.8541 ounces of silver. Collector value may be worth about $100 in its original Proof condition.
You might try Ebay.com or an Internet search to find one.
You might try this world coin dealer to see if he may have one:
Lauren Benson Inc

You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
