[QUOTE="YoloBagels, post: 7747382, member: 94739"]Hello everyone, In case you haven't been following with my instagram page, I have been in Mexico City for a few days while visiting family and other places. Today we decided to go to a market where they mainly sell souvenirs. However, one of the stands in there was actually a coin store! I honestly didn't expect to see anything like this on the trip, so I was excited to go. [ATTACH=full]1326520[/ATTACH] They strictly sold Mexican coins, consisting of cob reales, pillar and portrait reales, first republic reales, and others. They also had piles of 1910's-1950's coins ranging from 2-5 pesos each (basically a few cents in USD). All of the older silver coins were improperly cleaned, sadly :( (but still fairly priced!) Unfortunately, they only took cash, which I didn't have much of because my parents have been "borrowing" mine for a few days. But I still managed to get some really nice coins. Anyways, here's what I got. Ill go back for more sometime later during the trip. 1862 Guanajuato 1/2 reale, XF Details, improperly cleaned. Already had one in basal state for my type set, but this one is MUCH nicer, even though it's cleaned. [ATTACH=full]1326523[/ATTACH] 1851 Guanajuato 4 reales, old eagle, F Details - Improperly cleaned & graffiti. Another hole filler. [ATTACH=full]1326529[/ATTACH] Three 1940's 50 centavos, all in nice MS condition. They had quite a few of these but I cherrypicked the nicest.
