1949 Argentina 2 Centavos!

I kind of hate having this coin. It is described as having cruder diework from the previous version which is seems to be true although I don't have one of the previous versions to comapre it with. It's got a nice design on the reverse which was seemingly pretty oily when it was struck. It's worth about $0.35 since it's in good condition the grease that was on the die when it was struck just makes it look sub-par.  

1964 Argentina 10 Pesos!

A shot of the nickel-clad steel edge.

 We've finally come to an end. This is the last coin in the $0.01-$10.00 series and, of course, it falls perfectly on a Sunday. That way I can start with the "regular stuff" tomorrow (A.K.A. Monday). The reason regular is in quotes is because this series has become regular to me so to not do it is irregular. Well anyway this coin is a nickel clad steel coin which is kind of unusual- at least to me. I think I've got one other coin that involves nickel and steel and it's right here so go check it out. I may have some other coins that involve both but if so I don't remember them. As can be easily told this coin is in pretty good (AU) condition which makes it worth around $1.50.

Below is an alternate picture of the obverse. I thought it was nice so I figured I'd post it here along with everything else too. 

1949 Argentina 20 Centavos!

Not quite sure where I got this one, although I'm pretty sure I pulled it out of the foreign coin bin at the flea market. It is fairly worn with little damage other than that. It's pretty odd seeing a cow on a coin, although wheat is very common on coins of all sorts of different countries. The obverse features the standard Liberty image and the word "Liberty" itself along with the date and what appears to be a sprig of sorts. It is worth about $0.25.

1998 Argentina 1 Centavo!

Got this semi-familiar looking coin as a gift about a year ago. Can you guess why I said semi-familiar? If you guessed something with Susan B.Anthony Dollar in it you are correct. There are also some other coins you could've guessed but that is what it reminded me of that I was most familiar with. It reminded me of the Susan B Anthony Dollar for two reasons: 1. It is round but has many sides around it on the obverse and reverse. 2. It also has a reeded edge like the Anthony Dollar. In 2001 Argentina stopped minting these 1 Centavo coins. Many 1 Cent coins from many countries are disappearing these days. Australia stopped minting their 1 cent coins in 1991 and some European countries have stopped minting 1 Euro Cent coins because they were too small and a nuisence. Canada recently stopped minting their cents and will end distribution of them later this month. Now that I've spent a half hour writing this this coin is worth $0.05.
