The first coin has seen a lot of use, but the second coin has been stashed away somehow, leaving it brilliant and AU. :D The Federal Republic of Central America, known as the United Provinces of Central America in its first year of creation, was a short-lived sovereign state in Central America, which existed from July 1823 to 1840. The republic consisted of the states of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica (Panama was still part of Colombia at the time). Report this Post to the Staff

turtleoverhead Pillar of the Community Australia 585 Posts	Posted 01/18/2010 12:00 am I don't mind the first coin, worn off by hundreds of human hands. It has much more character. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with you Turtleoverhead. I love coins that have actually served their purpose, and been used as currency in who knows what transactions throughout history. But you can't deny that uncirculated coins are lovely, especially if they've made it this long. Report this Post to the Staff
