these are so great. I collect "coins with stars" I have these STAR Cuban coins. When I saw your 40 centavos coin... my heart raced that denomination has gone up in value over the last 2-3 years....getting harder to find.

great coin. do not clean this coin. I like that toning. lucky find.
in my opinion this coin is worth more than this in real life. $50-80.00

 

Here are the ones I was able to grab, SO FAR. I am REALLY liking these Cuban coins!

 

Went back again today...

1886-R Papal States 10 soldi


1886 Zs.S Mexico 5 centavos


1897 Mauritius 10 cents

 

1896 Malaysia Straits Settlement 10 cents


1910 Malaysia Straits Settlement 20 cents


1910-B Malaysia Straits Settlement 10 cents

 

1928 Ireland 1 shilling


1966 Ireland 10 shillings (UNC)


1900 Great Britain 1 florin (2 shillings)


1898 British India 1/4 rupee

 

The Ireland 1966 10 Shilling is a nice design! I read in Krause that "Approximately 1,270,000 melted down" (out of 2 million struck). It gives a $30 value in XF--unsure the value to collectors in Ireland...

 

I like the Irish 10 Shilling too.
Did you say you got 48 coins for $100?
Wow.

 

Great Cubas. I don't own a single cuban coin.

 

Yes. I have been going in there for quite some time buying U.S. coins and just looked in his world coin binders out of curiosity. I picked a couple of silver coins out and when he gave me the price, I decided to get a "few" more. Now I'm hooked!

I have 74 coins and $155 into them. I figure $2.09 (average) per coin can't be too terrible.

 

My biggest issue is that I cannot find a real good value guide on these. Ebay has banned selling them, and Kraus isn't very accurate with these Cubans. Guess it doesn't really matter until I decide it's time to sell

 

Well, for a 'banned' coin, the Cuban stuff is pretty popular.

 

Cuba coins are still sold on Ebay labeled as peso, star, and other creative names but never Cuba.
