1975 Bahamas Conch $1Silver Proof & 1966 Bahamas Conch $1 Silver
Hello there! Today I want to show you vintage coins from the beautiful Islands of The Bahamas. I thought I would show them to you.
Recently, @trumpman showed his conch, reminding me I also had two. And I wonder if @thebighigg has one... I can't seem to recall at this moment.
Here they are!
The 1975 Bahamas Conch $1Silver Proof & 1966 Bahamas Conch $1 Silver coins.
1966 Bahamas Conch $1 Silver Coin
The 1966 Conch is a circulating coin. This 1966 silver coin was minted by the Royal Mint Tower Hill in London, UK.
Circulating coins are the coins that you handle on a daily basis, used in everyday transactions for goods and services. These are the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and other denominations that you might find in your pocket or wallet. They are produced by the government (in the United States, this means the U.S. Mint) and are distributed through banks and businesses for public use.
Circulating coins are designed to be durable and practical for frequent handling, and they feature designs that are often reflective of national heritage and history.
I bought this one some time ago, primarily for the image of Elizabeth II. It is classic!
Of course, it helped that it had a conch in the reverse, which was very attractive.
I love this coin because it is almost uncirculated.
The term "AU" stands for "Almost Uncirculated" in the world of coin collecting. It refers to a coin that has very little wear and tear, appearing almost as if it has never been in circulation. An AU coin will show only slight traces of wear on the highest points of its design, and it will retain most of its original luster. These coins are typically graded on a scale from AU-50 to AU-58, with AU-58 being the highest grade within this category, indicating minimal wear.
Collectors prize AU coins because they are often nearly as visually appealing as uncirculated coins but are typically more affordable... between beauty and cost for those who appreciate the historical and aesthetic value of coins.
In contrast, some coins are created specifically for collectors, like commemorative or proof coins, and are not intended for everyday spending (although you can, after all, they are backed by a government), such as The 1975 Bahamas Conch $1 Silver Proof Coin. I will show that coin in a future article.
Do you have a favorite coin design?

Beautiful AU Bahamas Conch Silver coins @silversaver888!!!👍😀
I remember when we had the Morgan Silver Dollar GSA sales, many of these coins were graded AU because of bag marks....but were really uncirculated.
Do you think this coin was also graded because of the bag marks and is essentially uncirculated?
I think so @silvertop , but we will never know. It is impossible for a silver coin to be this unscathed from the rigors of circulation unless they are uncirculated, don't you think so?

I definitely agree with you, in my opinion they just called this AU because of a few bag mark scratches…🙄

Yes, Elizabeth II looks soft here with her neck extended forward. I think this is what they call "Elizabeth long neck" in coins.

I think these Bahamian coins are beautiful, the conch design stands out remarkably on the proof representing to me of distant exotic wildlife and warm tropical climates.
I recall having a Bahamian coin somewhere in my collection.
A big Proof coin.
But I think your proof Conch is prettier.
Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

Uh oh.
That looks familiar...
Hrumph! I had this filed under Bermuda for crying out lou...
Now I remember getting this from a Coin Show Dealer for $20 CAD in my early stacking years.
At $1398.50 it is still far over priced at 50% off $2797USD.
Bacause the card is rather beat up, I can live with selling this for $900USD. 😁

That is gorgeous! I love coins from Bahamas! That is in really nice shape for a circulating issue, what a great find! I don't think I have that year in my collection, the ones from the sixties are a little harder to find in AU condition. Beautiful!
