British Caribbean Territories - Eastern Group 1964 1 Cent!
Don't pay any attention to the name of the country- it's just the fancy and archaic way to say East Caribbean States. I got this coin at the flea market, of course, and for 10 cents less than it's numismatic value. That's right, a whole dime. Too bad it wasn't a silver one. This coin is worth $0.35, though if it had been marked for a dollar, I probably would have bought it. Well maybe not considering my opinion that QEII looks monkey-ish in this portrait.

British Caribbean Territories Eastern Group 1964 Cent!
Here's a nice coin. Too bad it features one of my least favorite portraits of the Queen. It was equal to a British Half Penny at the time it was made which explains why five of them makes a nickel-brass coin, like the British 3 Pence. It's a bit tarnished which is to be expected of these coins from more tropical areas of the world, but is otherwise in great condition. Too bad it's not the 1963 in this condition. It would be worth a whole dollar more than this coin, which is worth only $0.20.
