Pertinax see if you can locate them but obviously if I can find a U.S. source it would be better. At this point I am looking for pieces that have been silvered. This silvering on copper will appear like a whitish film or if heavily silvered the expected silvering color.
XRF does not damage the coin at all. So no rush. I will s compile contributors, wait for the Mexican Numismatic Association Journal request to be sent out to MNA members, etc. and then respond.
Take your time - I will do another request at the end of May and early June.
If you LOOK in KM you will see for example for the 2 Reales as you proceed from 1832 to 1854 the silver content listed goes from 0.33 to 0.04 for 1853 and 1854.
So looking for the early dates in 1/2, 1, 2 and 4R's.
My E-Mail starts with johnmenc so its listed on the Internet and you can contact me for further information also via this post.
I pay all expenses if specimens are sent from the U.K.. Obviously I am hoping for U.S. contacts but for high silvered 1/2R or 1R I may pull the trigger even for a U.K. shipment. I need to examine all contributors say 30-60 days after this request and the publication of the next MNA Journal.
