You might want to check to see if those are the actual coin, and not a thin 8k copy. The actual coin melts at around $20.   02-15-2005, 09:01 PM   #3 (permalink) Aidan Work Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Wellington,New Zealand. Posts: 6,467 The 8 Carat copy is a piece of gold junk only good enough as 8 Carat scrap gold.I'd steer very well clear of these,unless you want to buy it for scrap.   02-15-2005, 09:55 PM   #4 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,590 My Mood: ccgnum That was only bid...but that seemed to be what it was going off at.... Aidan I am just looking at them for junk gold....as I don't collect gold it would just be a fun way to get some... Was that the only year they minted them??

Posts: 6,467 Speedy,if they are the proper one dated 1945,then they are good enough as gifts.You wouldn't scrap those ones,unless they are very worn.   02-15-2005, 10:34 PM   #7 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,518 Quote: Originally Posted by Speedy How much are Mexican 2 peso Gold coins worth??

Thanks for any help Speedy Speedy - The Mexican gold 2 peso was issued in 1919, 1920, 1944, 1945, 1946 & 1947. They were struck in .900 gold, AGW .0482 oz. From 1951 - 1972 there were about 4.5 million of these re-struck, supposedly dated 1945. Those struck in the 40's ( other than 1945 ) can sell for $50 - $60 in XF. Those struck in the teens are about $25 in XF. Those dated 1945 sell for melt. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   02-15-2005, 10:41 PM   #8 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,590 My Mood: Well...I say these are re-strikes then.
