<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 366957, member: 9474&quot;]Just a little ownership history behind the coin.&nbsp; The owner of the coin just traded in nearly his entire set of world silver coins that he has been collecting for over 60 years.&nbsp; The owner of the shop told me that he remembers selling this guy some of his coins in his set back during the 50s and 60s.&nbsp; The guy was in his mid 90s and wasn&#039;t collecting anymore.&nbsp; There were a few coins in his set that would grade UNC.&nbsp; I purchased one of those coins and posted it on here last week and if I knew how to link the post I would.&nbsp; Many of the coins were harshly cleaned - what a shame.&nbsp; Spock there was even a beautiful 1 Rupee from the late 1800s, but it had been cleaned.&nbsp; This gentleman also had coins dating well into the 1700&#039;s and some in the 1600&#039;s.&nbsp; There was even one from the 1500&#039;s but they are waiting for it to be authenticated by a TPG. Other than the early coins which I cannot afford, there are 4 British Trade Dollars and a British Silver Dollar (excuse the wrong terms) from the late 1800s.&nbsp; I posted a thread about these coins on here last week as well.&nbsp; Two of them were cleaned, 1 is BU and 1 is prob XF.&nbsp; The silver dollar is prob XF as well.&nbsp; The assistant offered them to me for $16 each and I didn&#039;t jump on it cause I didn&#039;t have the cash at the time.&nbsp; I may come to regret not getting them at the time, but I guess I will just have to refresh his memory.&nbsp; Anyway, based on the world coin book, the Cuban Peso in this condition was listing around $50. They sold it to me for $40. I traded an AU Panamanian Balboa and knocked $20 off.&nbsp; I had a credit of $10 with the store from some other coins I traded in and I paid $10 out of pocket.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t think that was a bad deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
