The surfaces look a little off, but other than that the coin looks authentic ( as much as a photo under scratchy plastic) can show. JP, look for...
Welcome to the forum! None of the photos look like the 3 main 1936 DDO. Die #1, and #2 are readily seen by the doubling in the date, and #3 more...
Why didn't you throw in a higher bid to start with. Your max bid is not shown as current until you exceed it? I am a 3 second bidder, but I have...
My Mettler analytic has a resolution of 0.1 mg. ;)
Assuming you don't wish to saw into it ( which is what many silver buyers who are going to melt it anyway do), it is difficult if the silver layer...
Although many do not know, nor want to know what specific gravity is, and the determination can be mathematically challenging, but here is a...

Ok, maybe the photos are hazy for me, but exactly why do you think they are fake/counterfeit? A real 1 peso of 1910 has the same design you show...
If you mean a loupe ( magnifying lens) I suggest looking on Amazon for a Belomo brand loupe. They are different magnifications 7X to 20X,...
No DD on coin, does appear to have some deterioration of the die with the date.
Daniel, Welcome to the forum! With the USD and the CAD almost exactly at par, you can buy wherever you get the better deal, without basing it on...
I merged the 2 threads. Please only one thread on a topic. Jim
Detecto, although "real men" don't read the instruction manuals, you might go over the pages on "FOCUS", as most point and shoots have several...
