macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 04/26/2010 11:23 am Is there a premium with this variety? Just wondering. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/29/2010 5:41 pm it looks like classic MD; I see no serif separation. Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 1:22 pm Mac, Type in 'MEXICO Peso 1978' on the coin look-up tool at http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/Wo...e-Guide.aspx where it says 'search terms' and you should see the elevated premium that the 1978 open 8 one peso coins have in MS grade. fyi, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/24/2011 1:27 pm Wow, I was not aware of the "open 8" variety--very nice premium! Report this Post to the Staff
Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 686 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 8:57 pm Carlos Amaya calls out this doubling in his "Illustrated Price Guide of the Modern Mexican Coins 1905 to Date." It is key 1p-1978-6. He IDs 13 varieties of one pesos of this date. Carlos is really into this. Looking closely I do not see a knot in Morelos' scarf. Double error!! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 11:45 am Well...despite Carlos Ammaya's enthusiasm, doubling like this isn't a variety since it's not present on the die. It happens randomly to any coin. This date style is a true variety for 1978, and I wonder how many 1978 dies have this 8? I will post the picture of my coin.

augbauer Pillar of the Community Philippines 606 Posts	Posted 07/22/2011 05:15 am MD as the doubling in the date is flat Report this Post to the Staff
