Its strike seems to have been crude, absolutely speaking. When I look at other coins during Mexico&#039;s Revolutionary years from 1910 to 1920, they don&#039;t seem to be nearly as poorly made (especially compared to your type design, though the coins in general seem to have been relatively more crude as you mention).</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I guess they could have mis-struck the coin twice or more, which makes a lot of sense actually. If the dies were crude and they wanted to create a larger relief by striking the coins multiple times, then that seems to be consistent with a multiple-struck coin. Add to that the war time crunch, and they may have simply put these coins into circulation instead of cancelling them (if they&#039;d even cancel error coins at the time anyway).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
