<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wildcat2002, post: 36577, member: 2245&quot;]Hi, I am new to coins and had a few questions about some older Mexican silver (1700, 1800, 1900 reals/centavos).&nbsp; I&#039;m sorting through a large collection with the goal to sell most of it, but I&#039;m trying to figure out exactly what I have before I do so.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are some questions that have come up along the way, any help you could offer is appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) I see there is an error 1 peso coin (1903 Mo AM) and my book gives no decription of the error.&nbsp; I have a 1903 Mo AM with a double stamped date?&nbsp; Is this &quot;the&quot; error the book is likely describing or is this just a stamping variation?</p><p><br /></p><p>2)&nbsp; When a coin is described as having a &quot;re-engraved date&quot;, what does that mean and how does it affect the coin&#039;s value?</p><p><br /></p><p>3) I have an unlisted coin: 1/2 real 1869 Go YF.&nbsp; Is this coin scarce or is this just a printing typo in the book I&#039;m using?</p><p><br /></p><p>4) A couple of the coins have solder on the back (metal previously used to attach it to another object).&nbsp; How badly does having residual solder on a coin affect the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) Any general comments on how best to sell off a large collection of older spanish silver are welcome.&nbsp; I&#039;m currently using ebay to &quot;test the waters&quot; but didn&#039;t know if there were other coin sites or venues I should be considering. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
