The mint is CA which I believe is Chihuahua. It is non magnetic and the weight and diameter check out ok. Anything else I should be looking at? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1917 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 2:36 pm There are legitimate sand cast coins from Mexico. And they can look crummy. Someone that knows more about them may say if this could be one of them. Sand cast coins might have been only in some states- I'm just not sure. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1778 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 2:52 pm Its a good one only from Chihuahua. Probably $500-up today. This series has SKYROCKETED IN VALUE over the last five years. Congratulations. In the normal series of 1812-1814 this year 1812 is the most common. Some are earlier 1810 or 1811 but are extremely rare and questionable. Sometimes their edges are PLAIN but as explained to me this was just a mint error but they do exist as I have one in my collection. Aureo & Calico once showed one to me with TWO T's (Treasury) mint stamps as Max Keech currently has classified these markings (i.e., mint stamps not countermarks) as they were part of the mint process and not a later countermark revalue marking of a third party.
