Hello everyone
for some reason this is not in my coin book and I'm hoping someone on here could give me an idea of what this is worth.Thanks

Well it depends on the obverse there are 2 stars in the first star will be the number 19 but its the number in the 2nd star that counts. Depending on the number it could be worth 1.00 to 5.00 dollars for a.common numbered peseta and there were a good many of them minted. If you happen to have a rarer numbered pesta which is very unlikely it has the potential to reach the hundreds of dollars, but like I said they are very rare.

 

P.s. NGC has a world coin price guide provided by numismaster for free on their site its under the research tab, price guides.

 

It's not that improbable that it's a premium coin. These coins circulated very heavily and very few survive in the higher grades. This applies to the common as well as the rare issues. This often happens with moderns where the higher mintage coins are worth as much or more than the scarce ones.

It appears, unfortunately, that it's one with an unreadable date . Because of it's good condition it is probably a later date and of little value though.

 

after looking at the stars with a magnifying glass,I managed to make out 19 on the one star and the other star says either 51,61,57or67. it's just to worn down for me to make out

 

It's common that the date star is poorly struck. I might be able to make it out since my eye needs less information to read it but odds are it's a '51. In this condition it has a good premium but it needs a nice solid date to get that premium. These early issues were almost all heavily worn and few survived in nice condition. A lot of the nicer ones are those that were taken home by tourists and escaped the wear. Uncs are very rarely seen and a nice choice example of the '51 is worth $500.

 

I took some more photos.

in this case if it meets the true test , it s not fake then its worth a few bucks ,just something nice to have

 

It appears to clearly be a 1952.

I could have a different opinion in hand but the date looks fine in the new pictures. Even when these are clear they can be a little difficult to decipher because of font and varying depth.

It's nearly XF condition so I agree it's a few dollar coin. These are not nearly so common as a lot of coins that are worth only a few dollars. The demand for all moderns is very low and most modern collectors seek Uncs rather than AU's. Most moderns do not exist in the "woodwork" though so even higher prices won't bring them out. But this sort of modern is exactly the kind that does exist "in the woodwork". Anyone who visioted Spain between about 1956 and 1969 could have taken this coin home and many thousands actually did take one just like this. Over the years most have been lost or tossed but some do survive and higher prices would bring them to the market.

 

Thanks everyone.You were all very helpful

 

hello everyone was doing some research, found this coin, this is one of the better condition coins, and the star on the left reads 70 on the inside look like a decent coin worth saving ?

 

If the coin is really BU as it appears then it's a $9 coin and very much worth saving. It's relatively common to the other coins of the series so won't increase as much probably but this series might be underappreciated. Spanish coins have been undergoing a run-up in recent years and the moderns have been the primary beneficiarry from a percentage standpoint.

 

I have a coin that says una peseta 19 in first star and 49 in second star then says 1949 on front. Is this worth anything?

 

Hy this is my una peseta first star 19 second star is not number
