1948 Guatemala 5 Centavos!
What's this? A silver coin from Guatemala? I thought it was a poor country! Well, it is and they haven't issued silver for circulation in a while. Like many countries today, their currency has declined over the years and this coin is worth $0.0064 USD in exchange value. Metal value is different, however, and this coin contains $0.92 of silver. Numismatic value is even better at $7.00. It's made of 72% silver as is stated on the coin. I like the color it has attained; slight rainbow but also just plain silver with a little darkness. I also like the design, but from what I've seen, the die work does vary. Glad I got a good one- I hope.
