<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mackat, post: 2659159, member: 45768&quot;]Thank you for the advice, your 1939 looks very nice too! I think I will send mine in at some point. Also, here is the reason why 1937&#039;s are so scarce:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Some 80 million silver Pesos were held in bank reserves until 1951, when most were sold for their contemporary value as silver bullion. The Bank, in keeping with the traditions of courtesy that permeated Cuban society before the Castro years, reserved a small supply of each A.B.C. date for future collectors. By some oversight, all bags of 1937 coins ended up on the Havana dock for loading aboard an anchored freighter, but workers dropped one of the sacks, which burst and scattered coins in all directions. Not all were recovered, and the few escapees are the source of virtually all 1937 Pesos accessible to collectors in 2011.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
