Burks Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Two of the greatest designs ever. The 50 Pesos doesn't get the attention it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The common thread between those two is that I paid about 10% or less over melt for each of them. Of course the Saint I just bought, but the 50 peso I bought when gold was about $320! It's the only 50-peso I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 They're both beautiful. You're right though the 50 Peso doesn't get nearly the play that the St Gaudens gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieboyd2 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The two mountains on the Mexican coin are Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl, both over 17,000' high. I climbed "Popo" in 1980 and bought a 50-peso coin to "celebrate". I still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
