Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 05/29/2009 02:14 am Here is a pretty little coin. This 3-year type has the same weight (5.00 grams) and fineness (90% silver) as the American 20-cent piece of 1875-1878. The same design was used on the 10 and 50-centavo coins plus the 1 peso coin from the same period. By 1896 Argentina had phased out precious metals and never again used silver in circulation issues.

Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 05/29/2009 06:06 am Very nice indeed. Argentina silver coins are tough to come by (I'm still looking for a peso example). Is there any edge lettering? Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 05/30/2009 10:01 am Ken_3567, Unlike the plain-edge U.S. 20-cent piece, this coin has a reeded edge. There is no edge lettering. The Argentina silver 1-peso coins are relatively scarce and expensive, but the 10, 20, and 50-centavo pieces are readily available and shouldn't cost too much. I see them offered on ebay fairly often. Report this Post to the Staff
