I have 3 of those coins, none of mine are toned though.

 

Is it silver? Looks like it

 

Yes it's like 10%. It looks better in real life.

 

Really, looks pretty good here, so did you pay under melt?

 

As a rule of thumb I will seldom buy anything less than 70% silver toned or not but if you're happy with it then that's all that counts. :thumb:

You complain about not having a job, but you buy coins?????????? JE NE COMPREHENDS?

 

It was 2 bucks, I don't have a job, too young but I still buy 45.00 coins

 

Very nice coin of the type. Good find !@!!

 

One of the better examples I've seen of this coin , very nice .

 

Here's the specs on Mexico's last circulating silver peso coin:

Issue began in 1957 and ended in 1967.

The portrait is of Morelos the zambo revolutionary who fought in the war of Mexican Independence against Spain.

Diameter: 34.5mm; weight 16g; composition .100 silver, .700 copper, .100 nickel, .100 zinc; edge: lettered Independencia Y Libertad.

Highest minted year: 1962 - 61,094,000
Lowest minted year: 1965 - 5,004,000

 

Composition might be listed as 0.100 silver, but this is a silver plating that most I have seen has worn off making them one of the ugliest coins I have ever seen. However the OP coin looks nice.

 

Actually, there is silver in the composition mix. There is also a silver plating over the coin to give it a nice appeal. Nevertheless your right, when the silver wash is rubbed off over time the coin looks hideous.
