Hello,

Found this coin today. It weights 26.92, pings right, with no evidence of casting. The coin feels right in hand with reeded edges.

My concern is the abundance of chop marks and star pattern above 'libertad'.

Any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Roma

Hi! I am in a similar situation! I have some doubts about a 1 peso 1905 coin I have bought. I posted about it today.

About your coin, if you compare the eagle's face to the one below, I am afraid I don't like it. But I am no expert, I just compare pictures of coins online.

@Ricky, I don't have much of an issue with the design. What triggered a closer look at this coin for me are the chopmarks
... It weighs right,. pings right, and is struck with a proper edge design, but I'm curious to hear from some of the Reales experts on here
...
