Art Salmons Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I love big copper and I'm sometime really suprised when I pick up a nice piece fairly cheap. This is a 1889 Cent and the scan doesn't do it justice because the coin is a nice red brown and it has a enough detail to make it interesting. This is my only coin from that country so I would put it at the back of my Great Britain Type Set as the coin was in circulation when England controlled the country.

Drusus Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I have one of these as well, great coin design. Unfortunately it is hard to find one with the natives faces clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
