    Wow! Very nice Peso. MS66?

    I THINK IT COULD GO 65... LOOKS TERRIFIC

    Much better than the 62 I have.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Very nice coin. It seems the TPG's do not grade Mexican coins fairly most of the time. With that caveat I will go MS65

    KM #619 lists for $100 in XF wow!

    Looks like it has nearly prooflike surfaces too! I'd say an easy 65. Outstanding coin.

    Actually a PCGS 63. I submitted in the summer and have owned this coin about 9 years.

    I was very surprised myself it did not come back higher as it is virtually fully struck and lustrous with a very minimum of marks.

    I felt better though after having seen the heritage example online for the upcoming NYINC auction.

    I think they describe theirs a 63 with 'typical' weakness around the eagle's breast.

    The one you see is almost fully struck around the eagle breast.

    Beautiful coin. I would have guessed MS65 or MS66.

    These coins were made by General Pancho Villa's army at the Chihuahua mint.
    Judging from the condition of this coin, it must have been a presentation piece, possibly to the General himself.
    Probably has a real story behind it.

    I have a circulated one.
    Also, the ones I have seen (excluding the one above) have been weakly struck.

    It seems when the TPG's grade coins they do not see alot of, they always error on the side of caution. What is the PCGS coin #?

    I don't have the coinat my fingertips but the pop report on pcgs website indicates 3 in 63 with 1 better. ( at least of the coins submitted).

    I do not know the history of the mint of these things but wish I could show this coin as it is hard to believe one is better and I am trying to be objective. May have to go thru trouble of resubmission sometime....Thanks allimage
