Reimage of an old Mexican favorite

coinpictures

Found this one as I was pawing through my boxes of stuff. Still can't image it sufficiently to do it justice. Not overly high grade, but with deep colorful prooflike fields. The reverse is fairly nondescript. It's a Peso, 1871 ZsH.

First pic is normal lighting, the second is shot through angled glass to show the color of the fields. No saturation adjustments were made; it's that vibrant in hand.

Imo the first one looks better.

Very nice Balance Scale Peso, CP I really like the second shot, which makes me wonder if a polarizing filter would help reduce the glare off the glass...

Here's one from 1872 Zacatecas:

This one has seen a lot of use and may have been buried at one time.

I can see why that's a favorite.

(Speaking of Zacatecas, I have an 1844-Zs. It's holed- on my Holey Coin Vest.)
