<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1345404, member: 28550&quot;]As you can tell from the pics, the 1871 is very low to the &quot;South-West&quot; of the coin (7:00) and there are striations on the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the mint mark, the &quot;_S&quot; is all that&#039;s really clear.

What Mexican mints made 10 centavos in 1871? If there&#039;s only one with a &quot;?_S&quot; mint mark, then viola! DCH&#039;s suggestion seems to be the leading candidate.

But, it seems that the totals minted in 1871 were fairly small - is this a coin that I should consider getting slabbed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
