Where can I find information on Mexican coin errors?

This coin has - correct me if I'm wrong please - 1) lamination cracks in hair, left of forehead
AND
2) fold over before strike on eye/temple area

I've spent a ton of time looking online and am quite frustrated. If I was more experienced, time may not have been lost! Please don't waste your time if info doesn't fall right off your head - I'll just flip it and store it for the next generation.

All input appreciated!

Outside of the US and Canada, the market (and information...) regarding mint errors seems quite thin. We had someone just the other day asking a similar question about error coins from the Dominican Republic.

With that said, these are very nice laminations on your coin.

to the CCF, freeda! That's a very nice lamination. Unfortunately Spence is correct - there does not seem to be as much interest in errors in other countries as seen in the US and Canada. As a result, information about errors on international coins is minimal.
