My Dad recently gave me some Type I, II and III silver 25 peso coins. What is the difference? Dad seems to think the type II and III are valuable. Don't know the grading...but they are clean. Input please.
Type I features a high center Olympic ring. It also features a normal, strait snake tongue. Type II features a low center ring and a normal snake tongue. http://www.coinpage.com/large.php?tImageId=1537 Type III features a low center ring and a long curved snake tongue. http://www.coinpage.com/large.php?tImageId=1538 I think I have that info right. If not, maybe someone can correct it. It looks like the Type II and Type III are worth more than the Type I, in uncirculated grades, but I would hardly call any of them "valuable".
