[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3386380, member: 19250"]I haven't been around for the last 10 to 12 days Been away on business.... really starting to dislike hotels,and SouthWest airlines ! :mad: However I did run across this in my travels.... An 1915 Cuban 2 Centavos...in a an old soap bar Anacs holder. What really sealed the deal was the old slab is in mint state condition not 1 Nick, or scratch on it....I can't recall the last time I saw a soap bar so pristine! This coin isn't rare mintage wise but judge for yourself as to its condition, which after I do a GTG will post the entire slab. This coin was designed by Charles Edward Barber, two years before his death in 1917,at the age of 76, laided to rest in Philadelphia Pa. Barber was the sixth engraver for the United States mint. He served under 9 U.S. Presidents as chief engraver at the mint. He also engraved world coins for the Kindom of Hawaii, Szechuan provence of China, and Cuba. This specimen does not really fit my collection so to speak however I could not pass on it for the reasons stated above and the images below.[ATTACH=full]899451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]899453[/ATTACH] KM# A10 2 centavos 3.50 g copper-nickel 19mm obv. National Armswithin wreath,denomination below. Rev.Roman denomination within circle of star date below. Mintage 6,090,000 in MS and 150 proof's .[/QUOTE]
