There's always alot more than the basic facts behind a coin, you know. Even if it's common.

Almost 8 million minted but that desn't mean that there are still 8 million in existance, since many have been melted for their precious metal content.

The Cuban Peso was up until 1962 on the same silver standard as the US, so a Cuban Peso coin had the same specifications as a US dollar had. The Cuban 10 Cent piece also has the exact specifications a US dime has. Since these coins had a large mintage early on, they weren't minted in the later days (years) before the communist revolution which brought an end to the silver coinage. The 40 Centavos piece wasn't minted after 1920. This can explain whwy most of these coins are worn, simply because they were in circulation for so long.

Cuba still has a 20 Centavos piece in circulation, although it's in aluminium. The silver coinage was demonetized in 1962.

When it comes to silver coins, they will always be worth they silver they contain, even if the coin is in horrible, battered-up unidentifyable condition. That being said, for the coin to be worth more than it's silver melt value, it has to look nice and still have most of the design intact, if it's a common coin like this. Since this isn't the case, I too say it's pretty much worth it's silver melt avlue, but perhaps an interested collector would pay slightly more just to get one.
