Ok, as promised, here are the photos of the pesos. On of them looks too bright, like it was polished. One is almost like it was never heavily circulated...it still has the new coin "relieved" surface look... What's your vote?   Top left coin up close...  Notice on the bottom two coins that the ribbon across the eagle is still intact...on the other side, the rays are VERY strong.   Three more from the same lot.   |

One interesting note is that this type of peso is the one that John Huston gives to Humphrey Bogart in the 1948 film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" More information: http://www.brianrxm.com/htmdir/cnsm...trsmpeso.htm____________________________________________________________ Check out my website at: http://www.brianrxm.comRoman Coins, Mexican Coins, Favorite Coins, Movie Coins The San Francisco Mint 1949 Mexico Peso Restrike |

Any comments on the grade of the shiny one...or the others on the bottom of the second batch? Those seem to be particularly deep strikes.

These are 34mm wide and about 2.2mm thick.
These bad boys go for $12-60....all depending on the grade. You in the market?
