Modern Mexican errors

jfoot13

A fellow I know picked up a box of modern mexican errors most appear to be early to mid 1980s blanks with the lettered edges, off centers, clips and such there's maybe 45 pieces. Is there a member on here who would know the value of such things?

thanks for any direction

I'll try to image a few when I get settled in

Personal experience only, but 80's errors (clips, off centers, etc.) appear to be rather common. At a show a couple of years ago, a dealer had a bagful of them in his case for 10 or 15 bucks or so each.

I remember in the early 90s a guy who worked rolling coin at the bank wanting to sell me a bag of US off centers and clips for 3x face and I'm still kicking myself for not buying them...

I agree. The newer bimetallic errors are much rarer.

That bears out my somewhat limited experience as well.

Cheap, but still cool. I had a dramatically off-center multisided 10-peso piece, once. Paid something ridiculous like five bucks for it, as I recall, and doubled my money on it.

I just put some up on the BST as a lot for about 8.00 each from the sounds of the input here that sounds like a fair price. Thanks for the help
