Thank so much to everyone for all the feedback. If not for the money clip, I might not have the coin now. Better to have "something" vs. nothing...
OK. This is the best I can do after many attempts and resizing for the 250 max. Looks like the clip might have caused the marks you referred to....
I'll be trying to take better pics of coins with another camera. LOL. Yep, and Grandpa was the last to "touch" them before Dad found them hid in...

I'll try that. Just so happens that I have distilled water on hand for my *#&% CPAP machine. Have to pick up some acetone though. I'll post...
Thank you for the info. I think it's neat that we carry such detailed miniature works of art in our pockets. Bill
I've seen them several times over the years, but never looked up any values. Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Bill
Here are some more that Dad had stashed away. The 1951 5 CINCO PESETAS looks really nice. Comments? Bill [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
