<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 2696313, member: 7539&quot;]Man, i was doing so well with focusing my numismatic spend, too...</p><p><br /></p><p>Visited a new (to me) coin shop in Toronto West and had an great conversation with a passionate coin dealer about coins, market, books - you name it. He didn&#039;t have any colonial mexico, but did mention he had an album. One look at the coins and I knew I must photograph these beauties! He was very fair on the price and I walked out smiling ear to ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the albums released by Mexico Mint to commemorate 180 years of Federation. 35 100-Peso coins, all beautiful MS with every color of the rainbow you can imagine, are bi-metallic and contain a half ounce of silver surrounded by a bronze outer ring. These things are pretty large, too - 39mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Going to remove them from the album for storage, since some of the coins are starting to display toning nearing terminal, but will definitely keep it as a set along with the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to acetone wash these beauties and take some individual glamour shots!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/album%20002_zpsnix2zwto.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/album%20003_zpsqyuce0jb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/album%20004_zpsk5tkvdex.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/album%20005_zpsbqfdaxuc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/romamart/album%20006_zpsmebgejyn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
