I just purchased one of these in a lot without really knowing what I was looking at. I was buying more based off of silver weight. Anyways, I didn't think I would win this one since I threw in a low-ball bid but I actually did. I started looking at the coin and I can't tell what the rest of the mint mark is. There is damage around where the mint mark would be but a "P" is clearly visible. I was wondering if anyone here had pictures of theirs that I could look at. Here is a picture of the mint mark area.
The 19th Century Mexican mint marks containing a P are: SLP PI P I/P all of which are for San Luis Potosi. There are no assayers' initials containing a P after 1665. ===== The 1872 San Luis Potosi peso is KM #408.7, a common date containing 0.786 Troy ounce of silver, 0.903 fine.
Thanks Doug444. I saw on the ngc world coins site there was also CHP and DoP. I'm assuming it'd have to be either SLP, I/P, CHP, or DoP based on the P being the last letter. Correct? Here are full photos of the coin. Looks like someone hit it with a lawnmower.
For this year I think the possibilities are: CH, Cn, Do (Chihuahua, Culiacan, Durango), P being the assayer.
