1975 Cincuenta Centavos -- $225??? Ok...first let me preface this by saying that I'm not buying this coin on eBay, but just wondered what it might be worth. I received this very same coin -- 1975 Cincuenta Centavos -- in my change today in place of a quarter. I was curious as to what it was worth, so checked on eBay. There is no way this coin is worth $225, is there???? (Mine is the same 'under sized' one, too.) Here's the guy's eBay listing... http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI....m=320076395913 Does anyone know what this coin might really be worth and what the silver content might be? Thanks!

Re: 1975 Cincuenta Centavos -- $225??? I have no idea about the value of the coin in the auction, but I do have some opinions. The auction is for an error coin struck on the wrong planchet. That would add to the value of a genuine coin. However, the lister is in China, so it's probably a fake. Whatever the silver content of the original coin is does not matter for this auction as this coin has probably no silver in it. Edit: APMEX does have these for sale: http://www.apmex.com/Category/904/Me...ver_Coins.aspx. It doesn't list the year of the coin, but it is 50 centavo pieces with a big 50 on the reverse. They are .1929 oz. silver. They are selling for 1.99 over melt for 5.01.
