Mexico 1850’s copper ID help - straight grade poor-0

Just picked this up today from a world junk bucket. Clearly Mexico, 1850’s. 28mm diameter and 6.79g.

looks like https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57828.html

but the listed coin has different treatment near the rim than this example. Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated. I believe the date is 1859 but could be 1853 or less likely 1850.

thanks.

Joe? What do you mean by "treatment by the rim? Do you mean the denticles?
It looks like a match to mean, I guess.

 

The last photo looks like a rim ding. If that is what you are referring to?

 

Looks more like an Oreo cookie than a Ding Dong...

 

Yeah, denticles. Was having a brain fart and couldn’t think of the name. My example has none, the listed example has strong denticles. Probably in the 1850’s some had them and some didn’t, just not sure.

 

Is that a rim cud?
Sal's post made me think of some thin mints.

 

Looks like a "pocket piece" if you ask me. I'd say that anomaly on the rim is just damage. Remember, copper is soft. Everything is just about worn "slick".

 

Thanks. Seems like the denticle difference doesn’t bother anyone so I’ll record it as such. Thanks for the input.

 

I think the denticles were there originally, and are just too worn to see.
I have an overactive imagination when it comes to coin details, but I think I can see traces of them still.
