    Here is a quick question for all you Leprosy coin specialists :). I recently purchased two 1921 Columbia Leprosy Colony 50 Centavo coins. One type has a star at the top of the reverse & the other is without the star. Does anyone know if there is significance to this?

    I don't know collect but I prefer the star coin. I don't know that much about Leprosy coins except there's some really nice ones and you have 2 of them right there. :high5:
