Hello - I am curious to learn more about this coin and am hoping you can give me your thoughts on: - What denomination (is it similar to a U.S. silver dollar) - Assessment of grade (don't know what that odd orange spot is on rev.) - Value (I suspect it is worth only bullion value) First pic (just had to include my Purdue cap ) Better obverse view: Reverse:
Yes it is. [quote- Assessment of grade (don't know what that odd orange spot is on rev.)[/quote] I would say it is in F condition. You are correct.
Catbert, the 5 bolivar coin you have appears to be a 'normal' date as opposed to wide or narrow. It is also known as a 'bolivar fuerte'. It has 25g silver, on eBay it would sell for more than bullion in this condition.
Looks like acanthite beat me to it. Its a fuerte, and the 1911 is very common. Good thing is that its a 90% silver, many of the venezuelan coins where 83.5% silver. If you sell it let me know what you get, I've got several that I'm thinking about selling.
