Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 01:19 am It's a coin. Mexico 1 centavo 1883. This type (KM# 392) was only issued in 1882 and 1883; unfortunately, the 1882 is much rarer. CV in the 19th century Krause for yours is $1 in EF. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

So, unless my math is failing, that Centavo that you have is actually worth 1100 times face value. While it's only worth a dollar, that's a pretty nice increase!!! Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 5:53 pm Not quite right, tights - it's even better than that. While there are currently 11 pesos to the US$, the peso was reformed in 1992 with 1000 "old pesos" to one "new peso". So the (theoretical) face value of a 1 "old centavo" coin is 1000 times smaller than that. In other words, it's numismatic value is 1,100,000 times face value. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
tights24 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 6:38 pm Thanks for the info Sap. That is just simply crazy to think about. I really need to work on my flux capacitor design so I can go back to the late 1800's and make some investments. Report this Post to the Staff
Fishnwidow Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 7:19 pm At that kind of an increase, everyone is going to want one. Maybe I'll start collecting them. Report this Post to the Staff
