2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Hello Everyone,

My first post, looking for some guidance. I have a 1920 REPUBLICA DE CUBA VEINTE CENTAVOS, with the shield and wreaths as where I find when I look it up. However on the reverse the pictures I see online are of a star with a V in the center. Mine has a solid star in the center with rays off of it. Says, PATRIA Y LIBERTAD, 900M, 5G, 1920.

Any opinion as to what I have? it's circulated but very legible. I have not tested this coin, because all the others mention they are copper-nickel, I swear this sounds like silver?

Thank you in advance!

Hey CJ, welcome; can't wait to see the pics. However, I will see your VEINTE CENTAVOS and Raise you 110 Pesos, it would have been 115 but I gave my bro in law 5. Yes they are crisp uncirculated. ♦♦♦♦♦
