Big Chunk of silver from the Mexico mint

Can't find it in Krause, it is a Mint product and a pattern piece. Anybody have a reference.

My gosh!

I mean no I have no idea.......is that really a 12 ouncer?

theboz11

Yep! As Zar would say, that would drop your drawers if you had to carry it in your pocket

newbiecollector

Awesome!

Any idea why they would choose 1732 as the re-strike date? Did something special happen that year? Was it a one-year type?

Betcha that one's in the "Unusual World Coins" volume.

None what so ever. It is part of a set that I picked up. It has a 1 onza 1/2 onza 1/4 onza and 1/10 onza of the same design.

Yea, I have that one two & came in a case, but somebody took out the smaller denominations. Not a standard issue coin and so would not be found in regular Krause but possible the Unusual version. Mexico City mint has made a lot of large "off" pieces, many in the 5 ounce size.

I believe it is mentioned but not pictured in Unusual World Coins although the date is 1987?
