<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kimster, post: 1315493, member: 29093&quot;]I found a 1961 Un Peso (one dollar) Mexican coin while metal detecting. I tried to look it up to see if this coin contained any silver and what that silver content might be. I found that this coin is referred to as the &quot;Mexican Silver Dollar&quot; and appears to be worth around $5 or $10 today. I believe this coin was taken out of circulation in the &#039;80s. Though the Un Peso coins that I found on line had a nice silver color to them, my coin, which was in the ground for an unknown amount of time (I found it in a soccer field and assume it was someone&#039;s good luck piece) has a deep brown tone with some of the silver showing through. Generally silver coins that are found in the ground that have a high silver content, such as the US silver coins, come out as bright and shinny as the day they were minted. So I&#039;m assuming that the Un Peso coin contains very little silver. Can anyone tell me anything about this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
