    The Cap and Ray Pesos are really neat - they are a nice chunk of silver. Very nice.

    nice example of a date that is tough in high grade. If the coin was not dipped, you got your money's worth and then some.

    Coincat--I hope to see some original luster. That will probably be tough . I'm really hoping for an upgrade to MS60. The strike seems to be there. That's alot to ask though. I'll let people know when I have the coin in hand. I think ANACS is relatively tough on these. We'll see. To all-------------Thanks for the response.--Kurt

    Nice coin. I always liked the traditional Mexican designs.

    An upgrade to a MS-60 seems unlikely,,you might hope for a MS-63 or 64 if the coin is indeed mint state. A MS-60 coin is usually quite baggy.

    These are tough to grade without seeing in hand. The 1918 and 1919 are very tough, if original and an AU grade is not the end of the world because these two dates are ALWAYS ENHANCED and to find an original beauty is not easy...
