    HELP!

    I have searched the internet high and low for a 1881-1896 2.5 peso (aka 1/2 argentino) but to no avail!

    I must have this coin! If anyone has any information about the whereabouts of a confirmable purchase, I would really be interested.

    Thank you,

    - B.G.

    Krause lists this as Rare for the 1881 with only 9 pieces minted.
    The 1884 issue was a whopping 421 minted.
    These are the only 2 dates listed for Argentina KM # 5.
    Values for 1884 start at $550 Fine, $900 VF, $1250 EF and $1850 UNC.

    Good luck!

    Ugh, I'd say VF would be my current limit, and thanks you much for the info.

    I need to pick up a copy of the the Krause Manual :ponders:

    If that information doesn't make you a Darksider, I don't know what would.! Less than two grand for an Unc example of a 421-piece issue! (If you can find it,)

    Hello! I'm from argentina and if you want a VF medio argentino you have to find almost U$s 4000. It's a very expensive and a very wanted coin around the world
