<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 586142, member: 66&quot;]Can&#039;t be on a Columbian planchet.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t coins for Columbia until 1902.&nbsp; The 5 centavos was 835 fine silver only weighs 2.5 grams and was 14mm (Smaller in diameter than our dime.&nbsp; Your coin is larger than that.)&nbsp; Nothing from Dominican Republic comes close either (10 and 20 centavo comes closest but they are 350 fine silver with the balance being copper.&nbsp; The 20 C is 5 grams though and the 10 c is only 2.5 grams.&nbsp; Neither one seems to fit.).&nbsp; Just went through all the coins the US has struck for other countries and the only thing that comes close is Venezuela 1 centavo of 1875.&nbsp; It&#039;s a copper nickel zinc alloy of 19 mm.&nbsp; But the 25 year gap is hard to explain.&nbsp; There is nothing else close in size or composition before 1902.&nbsp; The only other coins we struck for others between 1877 ad 1900 were gold coins for Costa Rica in 1897, 1899 and 1900. Ecuador 2 decimos of 1895 but it&#039;s too large at 23 mm.&nbsp; Hawaii in 1883 but nothing there comes close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
