Questions & Comments

These are in fact 10% silver, i do not know the total weight of the coin off hand, but i would be willing to bet this thing has a comparable amount of total silver weight to a mercury dime. It would be a interesting thing to research, either way, its a cool looking coin, but with a low overall silver content

Thank you for your comment. Based on the lack of response from 'the other side' the "Yeahs" have it at 10% silver content. :-)

My bad just saw the description, this should have 1.6 grams total silver weight, so about a 2$ melt Value

I tried to include as much verifiable information as I can; not sure where the trolls are getting their info. While the silver content may low, it is a chunky little piece...and I've always found edge lettering cool. :-)

I always thought these had between 16 & 26% silver but have been told both or actually all 3 but at least they are very cool coins I do like these pesos !!

Yeah, I heard similar conflicting silver percentages but, when I did my own research, everything came in at 10%. The edge lettering is cool, and very underutilized on most modern coinage, not that it was ever used a great deal. I regret only I wasn't able to get a decent picture illustrating it.

I also managed to pick up two (2) from 1959, though in a little more "well circulated" condition than this one. ;-)

They are 10%. The one gentleman has attempted to devalue others' auctions quite frequently. Nice coin. I use them as spur rowels on homemade spurs.

Thank you. :-) By the lack of response (from the Troll) to the issue, I figured it was the case. I find it (rather) baffling that Listia would permit such (continued) actions of a member without any kind of consequences.
