It's a hefty coin which probably felt pretty good in your pocket if you were shopping in 1936 in Caracas. The coin shows obvious wear although it still has traces of luster in the recesses between letters around the rim. I presume the coin had a flattish strike to begin with and may be higher technical grade than the loss of detail would suggest. Any comment on grade, history, and/or value?

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 5:35 pm I agree. F to low VF details. It has sadly been cleaned at least once, too, given the wear pattern. :-( 1936 is a fun year, though. It was minted in Philadelphia. I'm also a big fan of Barre's engravings. :-) Edited by SteveCaruso 10/02/2012 5:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
