The coins are Identical date and mint ,, the fact that the coin is completely missing the reeding says it was struck out of the third die(collar) quote: Nice coin, is this common for these coins, and does the splitting usually occur on these out of collar strikes? Im not sure just how rare a coin like this is from the Mexican mint, I can tell you that I have looked at thousands of Mexican coins and this is the first of this type I have seen,, as for the cracked /split planchet ,, I have seen other out of collar struck coins which did not split /crack or break ,, I have to admit though that this is the first of this composition that I have seen so just how common that is for this metal type I cannot say with any authority .
