It is very common for the early Mexican coins to have flat areas of strike and flan defects that looks like scratches but were on the flan even before the minting process (there was very little quality assurance at that time). Mexico City minted coins are actually very &quot;nice&quot; when compared to Oaxaca minted coins for instance[ATTACH=full]538905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]538905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538904[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>MEXICO FH&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>1/2 ESCUDO</p><p>1825-1870</p><p>1860[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
