<p>[QUOTE="SorenCoins, post: 2799936, member: 73708"]This afternoon I was pleased to find 2 packages arrive labeled "American Numismatic Association"... "Soren Rollin." First, my member card came! And second came my ANA Coins For A's. Since I got over 3 A's on my report card, I received a free world coin. So I thought I'd write a little about the coin I received:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> The coin I got was a 2000 Cuba 25 Centavos. This coin is made of steel, plated in nickel. Minted from 1994-2016, its face value was equivalent to $0.0094 USD. The obverse features the Cuban coat of arms. The reverse features the Manaca-Iznaga Tower, located in the historic city of Trinidad. The third city founded, it was made by the Spanish in early 1500s. My coin is interesting because it appears to be an early die state because of a prooflike look, however, it is actually a late die strike. Cuban coins are minted with this finish. However this one shows tons of planchet damage. As well as quite a bit of cudding, dont worry Cuds on Coins, Ill be e-mailing you. I hope you liked this little bit of information.
