<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 2657992, member: 33595&quot;]I bought these in Havana, where I was recently.&nbsp; I was told that there were regular coin markets in the Plaza de Armas but none seemed to happen when I was there.&nbsp; The Havana mint is an industrial looking building and you are not allowed in and there is no sales shop. Aside from people selling ordinary &quot;Che&quot; 3 national peso coins to the tourists (face value about 12 cents) who would be using only convertible pesos, I found very few places that had numismatic stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is about half dollar size and is listed in a small catalog of Cuban money that I bought, but prices are not listed. Judging from what I see on the internet, I paid a fair price, but no bargain (surprising how few bargains there are in Cuba). Palma was the first president of Cuba.&nbsp; Everything was really US controlled, and when Palma gave up in 1906, TR called in Taft to troubleshoot.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]589156[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]589155[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
