Found this coin in a roll of dimes today at work.
It was jammed in there had to tear wrapper to open.

I was about to throw it away--Who needs Argentina money???

Then I noticed it was from 1955--My birth year.

I kept it.

Am I normal??

What would you have done???

Who was Jose De San Martin???

Thanks Shep, Interesting reading.
He was very important to South America and deserves a coin.

History really makes coin collecting #1

Shep,

Let me know what you are interested in and if I find any more SA coins I will let you have them.
I work at a self serve gas station and open lots of rolls.

Collector value is about .10 and there were 97 million minted. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.

Joe - it is nice to have you aboard - the world coins offer a fascinating look at history, there is a lot of world beyond the US and some of the coins are beautiful.
My interests are in beautiful Silver coins, Mexico and South American coins and, of course, SHIP coins.
Plus anything that catches my eye. Not very specific am I?

PS - Cute little baby in your icon!!
