My LCS has a $1 box of nicer world coins. Found this in there for a dollar. It’ s .925 Silver! Paid for the rest I bought!
Does it say it is silver on the packaging ? Because there is a copper-nickel version too. The .925 silver is worth $30.00 in my catalog. If it is silver it has a low mintage of only 40,000. Nice find.
No packaging with it. But it weighs out as Silver. I also think it is the PROOF version (impaired of course).
The nice part is the copper-nickel version seem to be rarer and the face value for what it matters in $12 US which is nice
Wow, that sure does like copper nickel. I could not find the weight of the unc. version in CuNi. Will look tomorrow.
I've looked all over. I can not find a weight for this coin in CuN. I can't even find a listing for it in CuN. The UK made one in CuN. But I can't find one for Cayman Islands.
Yours looks like CuNi Here is the numista entry. Doesn't have pictures but it has the weight as being the same, 28.28g. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces34248.html
@furryfrog02 Thank you for finding that. I found the comments section really interesting. It may be CuNi. Makes it rarer then the silver version. Can’t find pictures or montage for it. Either way worth a buck to me!
Schon has the CuNi listed at 28.28 gms. also. So weight not probably good enough. That is a very good and valuable catalog that is in some cases (or more) better than Krause (note spelling is in German so Cayman is Kaiman)....
I submitted my picture of the coin to Numista to put on their listing since they didn't have one. It was there this morning!
