I love Mexican pacos

I had to share this with someone. There's so much wrong with this listing. He refers to them as "silver Mexican Pacos." Of course he means pesos, but the coins are also not pesos and are not Mexican and are not silver. They are from Spain. And then he says they are in "very fine" condition, which would make someone think he knows something about coins, but obviously the rest of the listing proves that's not true.

I think I shall purchase them. I know there not silver, but they're Pacos! C'mon, Pacos! :thumb:

 

Maybe halfway through typing the title he got thinking of tacos and combined the words...

 

It's a coins with a portrait of Francisco Franco! It's Spain!!!

 

I have a lot of Mexican coins, and some Spanish coins, but no Pacos as far as I know.

 

I believe they are 5 and 25 Peseta coins, and of course, they are from Spain. What a maroon! :smile

 

Yes it is, Sir.

But if the seller had included those facts he may have spelled it "San Francisco France" from "Spane"

 

And besides being copper-nickel, they weren't necessarily minted in 1957, as that's the authorization date and the actual mintage date is inside small six-pointed stars. My guess is abysmal ignorance, not deliberate falsifying.
