2022 10 Peso Mexico error??

Hi everyone, just would like your thoughts on this. It appears to me that the 2022 is not Bimetallic, what are your thoughts ?
Thanks

    It looks that way. A bunch of similar concoctions were made around that time and dated 2021-2023.

    Thank you, so Mexico got carless with minting coins then? sounds like not much of a valuable error, oh well, keep on looking :)

    No, it’s not technically an error. It’s a “mint sport” piece (if it is what you think it is).

    I heard an executive ordered some employees to make these midnight concoctions to sell (aka grift). Or something like that. It was a big scandal.

    Stacks Bowers got a big consignment of all kinds of crazy 2021-2023 “errors”, got them slabbed by PCGS, and they did quite well at auction. Check the SB archives.

    It’s definitely worth $200 or more, I should think.

    Thank you so much, I think I'll look into slabbing it

    You can give it a try by slabbing the coin.

    To me it is just a common coin, I get these as change every time I go across the border, have also seen on the 2024 10 Pesos that they look the same on both surfaces too and appear as if they are not bimetallic. Here are two images of two 2022 that I just grabbed from my change bowl.

    Ok, now I have no idea if I should, I guess they must have intentionally minted a bunch without being Bimetallic, oh well

    @Ringgy
    On a quick search, they called these "Monochromatic"

    There are also the "Monometallic", just grabbed a partial image from that 10 pesos coin on youtube, these can go in the range of $100 to $250 BU, I do not collect these:

    If I find a monometallic sample I will post it here.

    Here it is a better image that I found for the monometallic 10 Pesos:

    The 1990s examples are likely legit and exist only as monometallic (and usually circulated).

    The 2021 to 2023 examples are the midnight minters output. The planchets are all over the place: incorrect centers, reversed metals, monometallic, wrong sized planchets, etc.
