Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/16/2017 10:13 am I found this in a bin of world silver coinage being sold as "junk". I'd never come across this issue before, and when I looked it up, I discovered that was probably on account of the mintage being a paltry 20K. Despite so few being made, there still isn't any great premium attached to them. Size, weight, and fineness all precisely mimic the specifications of an American silver dollar. A lot of the Dominican Republic's coinage over the years was struck by the U.S. Mint, but I can't confirm in this particular case if that was so. The coat of arms side (which in this instance is considered to be the obverse) is attributed to Casimiro Nemesio de Moya. The portrait side is the work of the prominent English engraver and coin designer Thomas Humphrey Paget. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

twinkinator Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 10/16/2017 6:41 pm Great find! It's probably worth a little bit over the melt value due to the grade, but I'm not super familiar with the issue. Perhaps there is some value there as well. Report this Post to the Staff
