hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

hard to tell from the photos

 

but my first impression

 

copy

 

 

hope i am wrong

 

i usually am

 

so you got a better than average chance of it being genuine

[michael]

oh and welcome to the ngc boards (thumbs u

[bsshog40]

Welcome also, but my first thought would be copy also. Hard to find something this old laying around the streets of mexico for sure. Hope not tho', it would be a pretty cool find.

It looks weird, as others have stated. Can you get bigger images?

[Davatius-migration]

Im gonna get the thing weighted to check if its genuine.

I guess the real thing should weight around 27 grams.

Im not sure if this is correct with the earlier versions of the Guanajuato mint.

 

I will also post some bigger images of the coin.

 

Thanks for the reply´s.

I have checked the coin, it is silver plated. not silver.
