There is one in my log

 

[Thorne]

I found it. In the shape I have worthless. In ms65 worth 5$

 

[50cent]

Worthless now does not mean it will be useless in the future. Hold onto it, and if you don't want it, you can give it to me.

 

[Thorne]

By worthless I mean in very poor condition. I'm still going to hold onto it. Just not expecting it to be worth a fortune.

As I posted in your log, worth a quarter.

 

[Backbacon]

Hold on to it for sure and who knows one day you may be able to trade it in for a nice Cohiba Siglo Cinco. Either that or send it to myself or 50 Cent, his avatar looks like he would be the type to enjoy a fine cigar.

 

[Backbacon]

I'm curious now people. With the 54 year trade embargo still going on with the Cubans is it tough to get Cuban coins in the US?

 

[CladSmoke]

Well the embargo didn't start until 1960. That coin is older than that. Before the embargo, Cuba was a vacation destination for many in the US. I would venture to say most Cuban coins older than the embargo are probably not so rare in the US. Now coins post embargo may be a bit more scarce here.

 

[Thorne]

Either way you look at it. I thought it was a game token at first. And it was really cool to see a coin from right after the war from a foreign country

 

[CladSmoke]

Yeah I would love to find one!

Are you talking about WW2?

 

[Thorne]

Yes ww2. Ended in 45 and my coin is from 46

 

[Mackaydon]

Did it once look like this?

Don...

 

[Backbacon]

That's what I figured you meant. My folks are flying back from Cuba tonight and I can't remember if I asked them to bring me back some coins or not. I'm hoping to return there myself in a couple of months. The fiance and I did a 1 week all inclusive at a 4.5 star resort airfare included for under $1500 Canadian last year. It's just too bad metal detecting is not allowed on the island the place is beautiful and a detectorists dream spot.

Ya it used to look like that

They would bring convertible pesos anyway. The coins that are rare overseas are the regular pesos, which could only be obtained from residents.

 

[Backbacon]

Do you think it's legal to bring back (to Canada and not the US) the other kind of peso? I know it wouldn't be hard to get some from the locals I have met there.
