1972 Jamaica Proof Set (Franklin, 7 Coins, W/ 1. 2 Oz Silver Manley $5 Coin)
Item History & Price
Thebuyer will receive a 1972 Jamaica Proof Set, minted at the Franklin Mint, containing seven coins (including a sterling silver five dollar coin). The buyer will receive the particular proofset shown in the photos above.The sterling silver coin (the largest one, bearing a profile of Norman W. Manley) weighs 41 grams, and therefore contains over 1.2 oz of pure silver! (Other eBay listings sell this coin alone -- without the other six in this set -- at an average price of $5...0, with none below $40!)The case itself seems to have been improperly stored. As a result, it has several flaws: The back of the cover is dented(see photos 7 and 8), and the cover’s white fabric interior seems to be comingunglued at its upper-right corner (see photo 9). Fortunately, the coins have not been affected! (These coins are covered in clear plastic; they have only acquired a beautiful rainbow toning over time.)
