Came across a nice find in the collection today, its a Mexican coin dated 1811. This is some of what my father wrote about it "1811 L.V.O Mexican Empire Ch. A.U." There was a couple more things he had written down but I cant recall what they were. So if anyone with South American coin knowledge can give me their opinion on the value of this coin please do..

I'm interested in buying if it's authentic and your father was good at grading

It is, if it's authentic. The 2 coins he posted previously from his dad's collection were counterfeits.

And those coins were in simple plastic and found mixed in with hundreds of other coins, the coin I'm talking about now is in one of the few cases he put all his good stuff in, and is packaged accordingly.. For example, i just randomly pulled out a coin from the same box and its a 1926 Sesquicent.

Don't get me wrong, I really do hope it's authentic, properly attributed, and you're looking to sell it. Looking forward to the pics.

That's good to know, but nothing says that your dad or the dealer who sold it to him would be able to tell a counterfeit from a genuine one of these.
