Glad I was able to get one of these. Plus I promised the seller I'd mention their store. He's not coin collector or dealer.

I think it is about an ounce of silver plus a little gold

I bought 5 of them from the Bank of Jamaica (that was quite an experience)

Sold 3 on EBay and kept 2 for myself.

Now if I could only find one of the 50th Anniversary gold coins for a reasonable price I would be a happy camper.

The reverse looks like something MadMarty would like!

Madame,

Thanks for posting the Bob Marley Coin and inviting me to the coin world. I'm a newbee in this hobby but hope to learn more as a browse the forums.

Cool looking coin, but I think they should have put gold on the reverse as well....

Bob Marley coins issued by Jamaica and minted by the British Royal Mint:

1995 (50th year) $100 gold with mintage of 2,000
1995 (50th year) $50 silver with mintage of 30,000
2005 (60th year) $50 silver (gold layered portrait) with mintage of 5,000

Something about the reggae rhythm that evokes good times and great fun!

Love the shuckins! I don't think I could afford it if I could find it.

The 1995 silver with 30,000 mintage does not cost that much (although it probably has been driven up a bit by the 2005 price). The gold usually goes for about $500 and up nowadays (because of the high spot + demand).
