I have three specific types in mind. I would like either the Bahamian 10-cent (OR the 15-cent), AND the Tanzanian 5-shilling. In other words, two type coins; one nice example from each country.
These are the coins I remember most from my childhood. I actually spent these. We lived in Tanzania in 1972 and the Bahamas in 1975. I can remember one of those Bahamian "Bonefish" dimes would buy a comic book. One of the Tanzanian "Shillingi Tano" pieces was my weekly allowance and would buy a model airplane kit.
I would like really Gem BU examples (or DCAM proofs, where available). Slabworthy coins (never mind that even the nice ones are probably worth less than the cost of slabbing.)
UPDATE- it appears I have the Bahamian coins covered, and only need the Tanzanian, now.
Bahamas: 10 cents ("Bonefish" reverse)
1966-70 (KM4)
1971-73 (KM18)
1973 (KM39)
1974-75 (KM61) (This type ran for several more years, but I would only want 1975 or earlier.)
(The above type is as common as dirt- I've had dozens in bulk lots- but I want a real "keeper".)
OR 15 cents ("Hibiscus" reverse)
1966-70 (KM5)
1971-73 (KM19)
AND Tanzania 5 shilingi ("Shilingi Tano", 10-sided, FAO issue)
1971, KM5, FAO/10 years independence
1972, KM6, FAO (This type ran to 1980 but I'd only want the 1972, since that is the year we lived there.)
