just picked these up yesterday. Thought Id share.

i didnt notice it before... but this $1 has the wrong obverse on it... hahahaha It looks like it has a type III head on a date that only came in type one and two... DOHT!!! i think i bought a bad one! i need to check these both

Yeah, the obverse is two years out of date for the reverse, but... wouldn't it be neat if it was a "Mule"

another word comes to mind besides "mule"... hahaha rhymes with "bounterfeit"... hahaha and from looking harder I believe they both are...

You have them in hand, I only see images. You have the advantage

yeah.. yesterday was a very hectic day around here.. and I bought these in a hurry not thinking twice to check them... never fails... hahahahaha to the melting pot they go!

Can you guys give me the diagnostics on how these are "bounterfeits?" I know you mentioned the designs don't fit the dates but I don't have my redbook near me to see what you mean.

the $1 had me fooled for a day... It should be either the type I which is smaller and has a different head or the type II which had a similar design to this one but the bust is smaller. This coin simply has the wrong obverse. The III is a pretty good counterfeit. The main thing I found with this one after having some time to really look at it was its lack of detail. The coin is just soft.... not enough details in the nooks and cranny's...

Are you certain of their gold alloy? I've heard of gold plated brass being passed as the real deal on Mexican coins lately.
