    These are my two favorites:





    IMO, this 1911 Peso is undergraded by 2 points.

    And, this 1913 1C is just the type of pristine copper I love to look at and collect.

    I have two favorites, both from the Heritage sale of the Sonora Cap Collection of Mexican Cap & Rays 8 Reales.



    If someone would be willing to post the pictures from the PCGS website I would appreciate. I've wanted to show these for some time.



    cert #30334133 -- 1871-Ca MM, PCGS MS64



    cert #30341689 -- 1871-Ho PR, PCGS MS64



    Thanks,

    I really like Mexican coins and find them very attractive and have a few graded examples of various denominations.



    Currently, I am most partial to these raw Libertads that will someday make their way to our host:

    Bidask, I have the companion MS67 2 Pesos to your MS67 1 Peso! The obverse die even appears to be identical.

    The semi-prooflike surfaces attracted me to this 1861 MO CH 2 reales when I first saw it, circa 1974. Nearly 40 years later, I submitted it to PCGS, which graded it MS66.

    This was another 1970's purchase, now residing in a MS64 PCGS slab.

    Its graded 65 Star - in hand looks way better - common date but crazy state of preservation.

    Marc,

    I really like the toning on your 1861 2R. They sure do come nice, don't they? I recall reading about a hoard of these years ago, which accounts for their availability.

    Marc, I'll second the awesomeness of the toning on your 1861 Mo CH 2R. A winner -- super nice coin! Would this qualify as an extreme example of that 'pullaway' toning that has been discussed here in the past?

    Extreme is correct, yes!



    This one matches closest to a 67 example (PCGS) sold last April.

    Broadstruck, I have to agree with Lance. That "coin," if you can call it that, is a piece of work. Art work.



    I know a mini hoard of these came out a few years ago, but they got snapped up fast.

    Let us know how you like it when it arrives. I was tracking it but chickened out on bidding because I couldn't view it in hand. I hope it's really nice!

    Will do as I am very curious. Common coin and type yet seems that relatively few are in 66+ or 67.

    Wow, some nice coins in this thread!

    I've had this one a while now but finally had it encapsulated this year. This may be my best piece. But it's not my highest graded.

    (Image)

    I'll add a second prize piece, also a long-time holding and encapsulated at the same time. An English rendering of the classic Mexican design (engraved by William Wyon and with his initials as Assayer).

    These coins are unreal. If you ever publish a book with your coins I want the first copy.
