<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1373715, member: 5739&quot;]<b>Argentine Copper Coinage</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I see what you mean about the similarity in the design of the portrait on the Dos Centavos and very early American bronze coinage. I find the Argentinian coins, not just this type, to be beautiful. I have quite a few later 10 and 20 Argentine centavos from the 1920s - the 1940s, they have the same obverse portrait as the 1890 Dos Centavos, and I also have some more modern pesos etc. </p><p>&nbsp; It sounds like you have a nice collection of these beautiful Bronzes <b>Hiddendragon</b>, very cool. I hope to get more myself, at least one without residue on it. </p><p>&nbsp; I live very close to the United States of America/Estados Unidos Mexicanos border, and we get alot of nice Central and South American coins at the coin shop I frequent, they often have great stuff, in fact I found this 1890 Argentine Dos Centavos in their 5 for a dollar bin, along with some other unbelievably amazing stuff over the years.</p><p>&nbsp; Straits Settlements coins are great, I&#039;d love to see them. Also I don&#039;t think you would be &#039;dominating the thread with your pics&#039; as long as you stay on the topic.... plus, didn&#039;t you start this thread?</p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p>Anyhow here are some pictures of my Argentina 1890 Dos Centavos (first three pics), note the residue.... shame too, since the obverse portrait is quite nice, the reverse less so..... I also include a pic of a more modern Argentina &#039;1860 - 1960&#039; Un Peso (fourth picture), which has a beautiful design in my opinion. The final picture is of the obverses of three Argentine coins from the 1960s (make sure you click the picture and get it fullsize in it&#039;s own screen, it is big and shows them all well), including the 1960 Un Peso from the picture above, as well as a 1963 5 Pesos, the one in the middle with the ship on it, and a 1964 10 Pesos, the one to the far right with the cowboy on horseback.... all three of which I find to be beautiful designs. They were given to me by a man I worked for who traveled the world, so I am fairly sure he got them in Argentine around the dates on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
