@TwoKopeiki said: @ShadyDave - nice pair of NEWPs. Can't go wrong with a nice key date Cuban.
Thanks! I have a small hoard of Cuban 1932 20 centavos, definitely an under-the-radar coin. I can't seem to find any examples higher than XF "in the wild". Here's another I subbed a few years ago, graded 45:
Came across something at a local dealer that had fallen behind the counter, literally, for at least six years. Paid almost nothing for it. Of course I timed it to COINcide with a hoard of these hitting the market
There aren't many countries who could compete with the stunning jet black pools and white frost of 1980s Mexico. They nailed it. Grab one next time you have a chance. You won't be disappointed.

I have a weird affinity for true "lowball" coins. I like the idea that a coin was used in trade, carried in someones pocket and just generally appreciated and loved. This particular coin type is interesting in that most people in Canada didn't like this coin due to the design and wouldn't use them. In light of that, I find it super interesting that someone carried this in their pocket long enough to wear it down this much. I've not seen one this worn before. Plus I bought it for like $15 (spot price) back when silver was around $25-30.

Even though it's a Kiwi coin, it does "say" Bahamas on it, so it counts, right!

A rare issue for today. Only 4 graded between both services, and PCGS TopPop. Richard Long catalogued as extremely rare. Love it!
Have two newly graded pieces I hope to post, if only Trueviews would post!

I also haven't seen this one as worn before. Pretty neat.
