Keep an eye out. There is a book called Krause. They come out by centuries (i.e., 19thC). A good investment. Your coin is Mexico City ... note the little circle above the M ... use a glass ... the assayer is FM ... which tells me your piece is WORN since F is gone or faint. Buy the book before the coin ...

Is there any chance you can upload pictures of the coin in question please, because the best way to get an idea of the authenticity on here would be with a visual representation. I use tinypic to create the right image size for pictures on here, it's free. Select upload and find the image, then re-size for message board 640*480. Then select the option that looks like [img random text img] copy and paste that into here and your images will be ready :). Edited by awallin01 03/22/2014 6:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
