<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 40369, member: 669&quot;]Thanks for posting the star dates - I sure couldn&#039;t read them on your pictures. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins were minted in Madrid, and the mintmaster initials match those listed in the 3rd Ed. 19th Century Krause.&nbsp; For some reason Krause only identifies the mintmaster initials for the Barcelona, Seville and Valencia mints, and not Madrid.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have the new 4th Ed., but I don&#039;t believe there was much change in valuations from the 3rd.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1870(74) 2 Pesetas (10g of .835 silver - .2685 oz. ASW) is listed at $5 F, $9 VF, $40 XF and $200 Unc.&nbsp; The 1870(70) 5 Pesetas (25 g. of .900 silver - .7234 oz. ASW) is listed at $10 F, $20 VF, $175 XF and $450 Unc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both of your coins have so much eye appeal that my first reaction was XF or better, but a closer look shows a great deal of wear.&nbsp; With those sharp legends, I would still give them VF.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Neither one shows any obvious signs of cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
