1960 Argentina Anniversary Peso

Do you have an Argentinian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Of the seven Argentinian coins I have this is the oldest and has the highest denomination. It is also special because it it a commemorative coin. They issued a regular 1960 peso but since it was the 150th anniversary of the removal of the Spanish Viceroy of course they needed to celebrate.

25 De Mayo
A week long revolution in May of 1810 ended with the viceroy's ousting from a huge plot of land encompassing at least four modern day countries. After the dust settled a local government was established and more dust got kicked up. War and six years later Argentina was independent from Spain.

REPUBLICA ARGENTINA ✩ UN PESO ✩ surrounding the Argentinian arms

This coin is slightly heavier than a normal peso and more common but still tastes the same. The entire country has reformed their coinage at least three times since this coin was minted.

Here's the stats ...
Type/Country: 1 Anniversary Peso / Argentina
Year: ND (1810-1960)
Mintage: 98,751,000
Metal: Nickel Clad Steel
Value: $0.75 in XF

First time looking up something like this?
A friend of mine showed me a lot of silver cert. dollars,(one stamped with HAWAII 1935A)the majority are from 1957A, along with 2dollar bills mostly 1976 (one with a bicentennial stamp and postmark of APR.13, 1976) and some older ones with a RED stamp (1928 & 1963). Can you help me with the value of these? Are they something to hold onto? Sell all togather for one lump sum or ind?

Without serial number for each I can only give a general value.

silver cert. dollars,(one stamped with HAWAII 1935A)
--About $30.00

the majority are from 1957A
--About $2.50

2dollar bills mostly 1976
--About $2.00

(one with a bicentennial stamp and postmark of APR.13, 1976)
--Just $2.00 this is considered damage

and some older ones with a RED stamp (1928 & 1963).
--About $7.00

1959 Argentina 1 Peso coin with and inverse die rotation of nearly 180 degrees.

I do not know if there is a particular orientation for this coin.

Usually this is a $0.10 coin but if there is a Rotated Reverse error but no interest about $5.00 in Fine. Unfortunately an error must be popular to sell well.
