Show me your Cubans.

I had it down as a low relief, but with only one to look at comparision is tricky. I think the lack of key / tree detail is wear.

Here is a low relief. I don't have a high relief to show you.

 

Never seen a Dansco for Cuba. I would love to have one.

 

Appreciated, thank you. Still in the low camp I think.

 

Not coins but seemed relevant to the thread.

Cuban Convertible Pesos, Series of 2017

You just have to be patient when it comes to watching eBay.

 

Really like your Cuban collection sonlarson. As a World Coin type collector, I’m in need of the KM 22 (1934-1939 Peso) among the coins shown in your collection in your first post. That is one that will be added to my “Want List”. The 1898 Peso is a rarity. Do you or others in CT happen to have one? Don’t have that one, but I can dream of having one some day.

 

I bought a pair of those too (a proof and an UNC) but ended up selling as they didn’t really fit my set either. I do like it and it’s a cool coin to have.

 

Thanks, I am proud of that one. Got it a few years ago. I think I got it from a dealer on Vcoins. Not a lot of options on coins from Cuba. I purchased several from overseas. Germany, Portugal, Spain. Export law from 1962 still in effect. It actually only applies to Cuban coins dated after 1962, but still make it a challenge. This one was not cheap.

 

Around how much did this coin put you back?

 

Nice Cubans. I used to accumulate these in low grade - I like the designs. Here is a big 1953 "Marti" peso with an itty-bitty brass 1 centavo (sorry about the upside-down reverse - I wasn't wearing my readers!).


Did you ever notice how bag-marked these pesos often are? It seems they travelled around in bank bags for a long, long time. This one has so many it looks like Marti had a 5 o'clock shadow:

 

Let's just say it has appreciated since I purchased it.

Here is a link to a dealer I have bought from in the past. I think they are located in Florida. The agent I used was able to find the 40 Centavos for me in about a week.
I don't know if he still works there anymore, it's been a few years.

They have graded and ungraded available.

 

Here are a few of mine as well as an article I wrote about them: http://www.winsociety.org/newsletter/vol-8/notes-from-cuba.html

 

My collection of Cuban Pesos. The US minted these in Philadelphia.

 

I got one or two somewhere I'm digging
