    Nice toned Centesimos. If I ever get another German Shepard I'm gonna name her "CENTESIMOS" - that's just fun to say!!

    First off welcome to world coins. I liked the Puerto Rico, Japan, and Tunisia coins. the Panama coins I collect... your last Panama coin has some very strange toning. the Japan coin was my favorite... then Tunisia. :cat: are you looking for just silver world coins ? or a particular country ?

    I've never seen a Puerto Rican coin before so I think that one is pretty cool.

    I am just interested in world silver. In fact, I joked with the dealer that I probably flipped right past the "real winner" just looking for the silver ones!

    But thank you! I'm really enjoying this new part of my collection.

    I actually picked out 48 different coins, for $100. I'm not sure how to show them without taking pictures of each one. But here's 2 more that I found interesting:

    I am glad you like world coin silver. Peru has some silver beauties you might like. Thailand has some nice silver. the thing I like about your coins is that you have some earlier dated ones.
