1900/890 Overdate on Mexico Gold 1 Peso

rodzm

I just bought today a 1900 Mexico Gold 1 peso. The coin is not certified with an overdate and is simply certified as a NGC 1900 MS64 1 Peso. The coin clearly has an overdate of 1900/890. It does show up on the Krause book however there have been none certified by PCGS (the closest one is a 1900/899 overdate which is not even identified on the Krause catalog) and NGC only shows a 1900/800 certfied and none as 1900/890.

I'd like to get everyones opinion on this. Does it look like a 1900/890 overdate or a 1900/800. looks to me like a 1900/890

Sorry, but it's too hard to tell from the photo.

The 190/189 part is clear, but I need a better photo of that final digit.

Yep, need better pics. Those show that there is certainly somethin' goin' on, there, but they're not clear enough to distinguish.

Ok so I just received the coin today and there is certainly something going on. It looks to me like a 89 in the first two digits. All opinions welcomed









Krause does identify a 1900/890 coin so this falls right within known samples out there
