KevinCali25 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 The front and back of 2 coins. If anyone could give me information (including value) on either of them it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 The one on the left is a Cuban 5 centavo piece. The one on the right is a Great Britain Penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 The one on the left is a Cuban 5 centavo piece. The one on the right is a Great Britain Penny. The Cuban one looks more like a 20 cent piece ("Veinte Centavos") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCali25 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks guys, any idea of the rarity of these? They are in really good shape for their age. What about value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 The Cuban one looks more like a 20 cent piece ("Veinte Centavos") Of course, you're right. My vision gets worse daily, it seems. Thanks, Tane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Don't expect too much on value. The Cuban centavos do have silver content in it, so perhaps 2 bucks or so, but the British penny, I doubt it. Probably a few cents unfortunately.

KevinCali25 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 1915 and 1938 coins in that good of shape? Seriously?.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 1915 and 1938 coins in that good of shape? Seriously?.............. Yup. That's the good and bad of collecting. There were a good amount produced so they aren't exactly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinCali25 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 The 1938 UK 1d books at £1 in the condition its in.This is the most common George VI date with 121,560,000 minted. So about $2 then for the VI penny...That's better than the 2 cents that was metioned... And for the Cuban 20 cent piece, I saw one on eBay in worse condition than mine and the same year and it went for $20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Cuba 1915 20c VF $4 GB 1938 1d EF $1.25 From SCWC '95. For most dealers, the penny would probably end up in a 25c bin as it's of relatively low value (Stocking items under $2 in value is time-consuming) and there's damage (note green spots) that reduces its value.

Burks Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 And for the Cuban 20 cent piece, I saw one on eBay in worse condition than mine and the same year and it went for $20... There is a reason to this though. According to my 2006 Krause there are two varieties of the 1915 20 Centavo. The first being a course reeding valued at about $5 in the condition yours is in (assuming it's a VF). The second type is called "fine reeding" and is valued at $15 in F and $50 in VF. So depending on what the reeding is your coin could be worth any where from $5 to $50. The Great Britain piece is worth about what everyone else is saying. They are kind of like US Cents. If they aren't rare they need to be RED and high grade to be worth much. I didn't have a Krause on hand when I replied the first time. Cuban coinage, to me, is starting to become a bit more popular. A lot of their coinage commands some hefty price tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
