Hi, a friend is looking for a Cuban Coin Commemorating the Ivory- Billed Woodpecker. I did a Google search for it but it didn't turn up. Anybody heard of it? Where else can I look for one? Thanks
KM#768 (15g .999 silver, 5000 proofs minted) is identified by Krause as "Cuban green woodpecker" online at Numismaster.com (source of the photos) "Multicolor woodpecker" in the 2007 Premier Ed. Krause 21st Century print volume, and "Cuban red-bellied woodpecker" in the 2008 2d Ed. of that same work. It is also the only woodpecker I can find among the many aviary denizens in the 19th-21st Century listings for Cuba. Anyway, according to this site the ivory-billed woodpecker is "thought to be extinct".
I can't get a price from that website unless I pay to subscribe. Any suggestions for purchase source for the coin including proof price?
