gcpd35 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 11/28/2012 9:46 pm I am hoping someone knows about old Mexican gold coins. I found a very small 1865 gold coin from Mexico, for sale. I think it is a 1 peso coin, but not sure. I am going to go look at it again. I know it is about half the size of a dime (it is very small). Does anyone know the denomination or possible value of a coin like that. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

We'd need a picture, more info or a more confident description to be sure of what you've got. 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

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 12/01/2012 9:02 pm Sap is right. I've seen replicas, and they look very fake. The font is not consistent and the image of the eagle is madeup. They are just made into medallions/pendants for the public and buffed to shine them up. PICS PLEASE! Report this Post to the Staff
