According to Numista, this coin minted in Mexico City should have a reeded edge. But I'm not seeing it. What do you all think? Edited by jdsstrat 05/05/2025 4:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jdsstrat Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 4:43 pm Do you think this coin left the mint without a reeded edge, Jbuck, or has it worn away? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 164408 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 4:45 pm I am not familiar enough with the type, but I can see it being worn if the reeding is weak to begin with.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18748 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 4:57 pm I have a Mexico 1 Centavo 1888 Mo that is also not reeded so I don't think that it's anything of great importance.

Yes - I've done it a few times with weight and diameter. There is a link at the bottom of a coin's page to submit revisions.
