Very nice! I really do think that Pre-Communist Cuban coins really are under-rated.

Can someone clue me in to the value of these? I keep seeing one(1917?) at the local antique shop priced at $170. That seems like an awful lot for a coin that has been heavily circulated.

trdhrdr007- Well there actually wasn't a 1917 20 Centavos. Regarding the high price of the one in the shop, if it is a 1932 in a grade better than VF, then it may be worth it. (It is $22 in F, $75 in VF, $300 in EF, and $1,750 in Unc!) Are you sure that the coin you are seeing at the shop is a 20 Centavos and not of some other denomination (though it should be noted that there were no coins with the date 1917 ever minted in Cuba)?

I'm 100% positive it's a 20 centavo. I'm not sure what the date was, which is why I put a question mark after it. I'm assuming the 1932 is the key date for the series. I'll check the date when I'm in the shop the next time but I'm fairly certain it was in the late teens or early twenties.
