<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mackat, post: 2656667, member: 45768&quot;]Thanks! I was thinking somewhere around MS-62 or MS-63, so I&#039;m glad at least one person agrees with me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ABC peso was minted from 1934-1939 in Philadelphia to back up Cuba&#039;s paper currency at the time. From my understanding, most of them were kept in government vaults in Cuba until they decided they didn&#039;t need them anymore and melted a lot of them. It&#039;s called ABC as that was the name of a group that worked to oust the then dictator Gerardo Machado (and put yet another one, Fulgencio Batista, in his place). I really like the Art-Deco inspired design and was lucky to find this one for a reasonable price at the Long Beach Expo. They&#039;re hard to find on the internet as eBay automatically takes down any Cuban currency, even if it was minted well before the embargo and by us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
