1 nuevo sol 1991, copper-ncikel.

 

That is all.

 

Speaking of Peru, I remember picking this custom set and found it really neat:



Doesn't look like they toned very nice but still picked it around melt value back then when silver started to creep up to the 15-20 dollar mark. I'm not complaning.

 

Great set. Not sure why but like the fish on this, lol.

Thats also a great set gxseries, interesting toning on those.

 

Nice ones SM
