Not really a slug, but this was passed around our family for years by people who thought it was. The reverse has almost no detail at all.[ATTACH]
I'm reading it and appreciate the information content. But Mr Reynolds does seem to labor under a severe anxiety that somebody, somewhere, may be...
bagerb, in 1992 the peso was replaced with a "new peso" worth 1000 of the old, and there was a general redesign of the coins and notes. The two...

I'm working on a 20th century Mexico type set, and oddly enough one of the difficult areas seems to be the post-1992 reform coins. I mean the...
I feel your pain. I haven't tried JP's Corner (and I won't now) but generally if I order 200 2x2's anywhere (including Wizard), I'm likely to get...
