Don't think that those "fish coins" contain silver, and I am not really fond of colored coins, but these do look interesting. :) Those special 1 peso issues are Cu-Ni or nickel-plated steel pieces. The 10 pesos would usually be silver. Keep in mind that, as a tourist, you will usually deal with the "Convertible Peso" - your Dad will know. ;)

Yes I know about the convertible peso, and that these coins are not silver. I was just saying how maybe if they have any silver ones for sale this time i'd see if it would be worth picking some up, who knows maybe they will sell cheaper than spot ;)
Thanks for looking :)

Because of isolation (by the US) I find it hard to find Cuban coins here which are not overpriced. I see a fair share of pre-Castro ones but almost nothing of the current regime. Definitely not commemoratives.

Here are quite a few ... Exactly! Look at the price, I think it's overblown for most of them. Quote:
Some of the modern Cuban commems are a little tacky ... Absolutely! Quote:
... others are really nice. I'd like some of those. Quote:

No problem! just to make sure, how many posts do I need to trade?
And talk about markup on those coins!! The two that I have from that website are at least 8x the original price

 , RoyalSilver! You need 50 posts to buy or respond to trades. I bought a dealer stock that had a bunch of Cuban silver, pre-Castro, of course. |
