<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cazkaboom, post: 1876982, member: 33215&quot;]March First was our coin club&#039;s annual coin show that we host. As treasurer and heading a table at the show, I was very busy and couldn&#039;t spend the day on the floor searching through everything. I had told a member I was interested in small Mexican gold and if he were to see any to let me know. He later came back to me and said there was a Mexican 5 pesos gold at one table for a reasonable price. I went and talked to the dealer and brought up the 5 pesos and he grabbed it and showed it to me. When I asked the price, he quoted me a very good deal of $155 which was just about $5 under melt. I told him I&#039;d take it, and thanked him for the good deal. </p><p>I thought nothing of the coin until I was taking pictures and something did not seem right. So I counted to 10 in Spanish (About all the Spanish I know) and confirmed something went wrong. The word for 5, Cinco, was not on the coin at all. Rather than Cinco, the coin stated &quot;DIEZ PESOS&quot;. I quickly looked it up and I found out I had gotten double the gold for free! I am quite shocked that the dealer did not catch it as he pulled up the coin and looked it up in the krause to give me a price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are pictures of the coin</p><p><img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1661295_646067158763649_1844221654_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/t1/1618567_646067172096981_1580447868_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
