Nice!!! I have a modest collection of Mexican coinage having lived in Southern California for 30+ years and that one is by way far better than mine which has some heavy bag marks and a couple of light rim dings...
Nice pick!

1836 Capped Liberty dime. My oldest US detecting find so far. I dig almost every signal I get for the most part. Go figure...
Thanks. I kept passing this coin up on ebay and even bought another one that had some color, but was heavy on bag marks and scratches. The one day I woke up and had to have this one and it seemed so obvious.
I really like this design! I have never come across this coin raw in over the last six years of my collecting. I often wonder why? Any insights from you seasoned veterans? -Dan

As mentioned, there is a ton of them with some problems on ebay raw. I woul say generally in the EF range to AU "with problems" can be had in the 50-70$ range.
I dont know if based on the commments one is to gather there is interest in this coin but that they are hard to find. I came across another AU 58 with a best offer listing. I have nothing to do with this ebay auction but I thought I'd pass along what looks like a really nice AU58. The pictures are not great but I think the coin is pretty nice and if yuou go by the standard price realized for BINs It can be had for about what I paid for my AU 58. Worth asking for more pics imo. It doesnt appear to have the PL surfaces mine has but I think the strike is better than my piece.

This one year type is plagued with cleanings, improper handling etc...
There seems to be a population that has been graded- in the 63-66 range-
Great design and is a must for any serious collection of North American coins
