<p>[QUOTE="Magnus87, post: 7648044, member: 96372"]Looks like Dominican Republic KM-19 1942 ten centavos, .900 silver, weight (when first struck!) 2.5 grams. Not coincidentally, the same weight & composition as the US dime, since the DR Peso was valued (& maintained) at one to the US Dollar. If I remember correctly, these were struck at the US mint in Philadelphia. Used to see (& spend) them on an everyday basis when I lived there in the early/mid sixties.</p><p>Dave S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
