<p>[QUOTE="2CentRick, post: 965161, member: 16770"]I have a 1937 which I have doubt is genuine since I received it in change in the early 1980's from a small tienda on the south shore of Lake Chapala in Jalisco, Mexico. It would grade XF or AU and has a golden tone. Without 2x2's and staples it weighs 3.33 grams. </p><p>Regarding your 1939, I think it has certainly been dipped. Those lousy denticles could be die erosion. The die crack IMO adds to the possibility that the coin is authentic. I do not like the sunken look on the the 2 in 0.720. Looking at the coin under the scope, the letters should rise up at nearly a 90 degree angle from the field and the tops of the letters should be flat. How does the reeding look?</p><p>I'll try to post some pics of mine when I find the spare extra time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
