VickySilver Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 OK, well this is an update:1988 Cayman Island proofs of the 50c and $1 coins have no FM monogram/mintmark on the reverse.As you loyal readers will recall in an earlier post, I noted that the 1986 50c, $1 and $5and the 1987 50c and $1 have these mintmarks.Evidently they (the RM) noted this and for this final year removed the mark - it was noted that during this time period the Franklin Mint was the subject of TV exposes like the American 60 min. show and had an aura of scandal about them, so a bit of a story even behind a seemingly insignificant mark...

VickySilver Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Ah well, guess nobody cares too much. Don't know if there are any collectors out there of Cayman proofs. If so, might they take a look at their sets of these dates (1986-1988) and see if there are any that have or do not have the FM mintmark/monogram matches with the 50c, dollar and 5 dollar coins?In other words, did the RM use any other dies or did all sets have coins that match these that I have noted?
