Dominican Republic 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 Centavos 1882 to 1888

These are small copper-nickel coins from the Dominican Republic. They carry a shield-and-Bible design with the denomination annotated in a wreath on the reverse side. Both 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 centavos are worth about the same. Here are some typical catalog values:

worn: $2 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $4
well preserved: $10
fully uncirculated: $50

If you have a 1 1/4 centavos dated 1882, it is worth about twice these values.
