Mohawk Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 That's a nice one jtryka!! When I first started collecting as an adult in 1999, I was living out in California and I saw quite a few Mexican coins at the coin shop I frequented whenever my limited budget would allow. Your coin brought back some nice memories for me. Thank you for sharing it. Revenant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does. It represents 12 Marion Gros: Gloria might have a stake in the claim too not at all sure about her. That’s Fred on the other side.

World coins are a nice break from U.S. coins, I'll often bounce back and forth between the two. I'm on a 3-4 year break from U.S. coins now, went to world coins then world banknotes now slowly going from banknotes back to world coins and then I'll probably get back to my U.S. collections by 2023. It's a fun ride and keeps things moving and interesting. That coin is a beauty! Any reason for picking it up, other than it's an awesome coin?

Ive been looking at world coins for a long time. I was looking at a few and that one caught my eye. I liked the antique look it had from the toning. I always liked German coins also. I always thought when i started on world coins Id start with Germany. It was also within my budget. Fenntucky Mike and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hoghead515 Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 This one came from a great friend of mine. I think these are lovely little coins. Very interesting that it was struck at San Francisco during war times. Some interesting history during that time period. Planning to reseasrch more about US Mints during that time period.

Some of the mid years 1912,1913 are scarce come with higher price tag for higher grades even lower grade is a little pricey , then we have 1908F which is very scarce in that series any grade is high price tag for 1908F 1/2 mark probably the hardest one to get for that series. Although the Earlier years and later years are much easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GBrad Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Moved over here to this forum where I may post a few coins from the haul I made yesterday from the antique shop. So far, I've found 10 foreign silvers and then this one really stood out due to its immaculate condition. Did some research on it and found that the Proof of this year is fairly rare with only 200 struck and caries a nice premium over a business strike. I'm new to foreigns and need to be able to distinguish a Proof from a run of the mill. Maybe this thing has been so well preserved it is a business strike but I am not sure. Haven't been able to find a picture of one of these exact 1954's with a photo showing a Proof in which to compare mine to. This coin appears to me to be struck very well and has a nice defined rim. NGC's Proof photo of this coin on their World Coins link picture is black and white. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Edit: after posting, these pics appear a tad bit blurry and do not show how clean of a strike this coin exhibits. Not sure why as my pics are nice, clear and sharp on my end before I posted them. Maybe I need to adjust the sharpness setting. Edited December 19, 2021 by GBrad Hoghead515, Quintus Arrius and Alex in PA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
