hey gang! there is a great story behind this coin... I originally bought this coin more then 2 years ago... Money got tight and I sold it on e bay. I was looking at one of jos's coins the other day and it reminded me of this coin... so on a whim I went on e bay and searched for Mexican errors... low and behold what do I find??? The exact same coin for sale!!!! I ended up winning it and am now the proud owner of this coin... again...

I was very happy to be able to buy back one of my favorite coins ever and I am just amazed that it happened to be on e bay when I was looking for it..... maybe I need to open one of those "free reedin" lines...

here she is... about to go into pcgs with a lot of stuff...

Nice story and great coin Matt .
It must be destiny, fate whatever you want to call it. Don't sell it again!

Great one. Mexico isn't the hardest country to find errors of, but this one would be hard to find anyway!

It's one that will stay for a long time now, that's for sure

So I take it the 79 was stuck in a bin used the next year for pesos?

who knows exactly.... i wouldn't think that a struck coin would end up in a bin of blanks...without some "help" ...at least at the us mint... My guess... someone either intentionally or not dropped a struck coin in the bin of blanks and it was struck...

So how much more did you have to pay on the buyback?


Neat coin by the way.

Double post

i got it for %20 of what i sold it for is the funny part!!

Kool. Sell it again!!
