1939 $1 Cuba Large Silver Peso “ABC” – NGC MS63 – Brilliant Mint State
Offered here is a beautiful 1939 Cuba Silver Peso, known as the “ABC Peso”, certified MS63 by NGC. Struck in .900 fine silver, this large-format crown is a powerful symbol of Cuban independence and political reform during the volatile 1930s.
The coin takes its nickname from the ABC political movement, a Cuban revolutionary group that played a key role in resisting dictatorship during the early 1930s. Its design features a bold Cuban coat of arms on the obverse and a striking radiant star over a bundle of rods and an axe on the reverse—imagery inspired by both classical republican symbolism and modernist ideals.
This Mint State 63 example displays shimmering luster, sharp detail, and original surfaces, making it a top-tier choice for collectors of Latin American silver or 20th-century world crowns.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

‘’Very nice and pleasant experience. Mike, the owner took time to show me some very cool things!! He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’

‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
