sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/09/2012 12:04 am A lot of work there, looking at every coin listed for the mintage figures. You are still left with the problem of identifying which of the low mintage base metal coins were actually issued for circulation. I have a 1978 Papua New Guinea copper nickel 5 Toea, of which only 777 were struck by the Franklin Mint, but I very seriously doubt that any of this issue circulated.

Googled; apparently 777 was the Prooflike mintage, and actual mintage was 17,000 (still not exactly very much). The non-FM coin had (according to the same source) a mintage of only 2000; I found a picture of it here, and it really doesn't look uncirculated to me. New record? Report this Post to the Staff
