<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8121724, member: 78719&quot;]Yes, I agree it being nice. I won&#039;t say I have a lot of background but always like a challenge. </p><p>Well, maybe I do have a lot of background as I have collected world coins for over 50 years and am somewhat familiar with the Mexican series. Possibly three college degrees and two from Stanford did not hurt in all likelihood.</p><p>Chemistry and crystallography did not hurt along with a minor in the Classics.</p><p>So, that item would be a copper-based metal content with minor corrosion. XRF will confirm alloy. The medallic &quot;obverse&quot; is modeled after Hidalgo and other heroes, the reverse calendar stone image is many times reproduced on coin-like objects and especially in the mid to late 20th century. The tines are seen on MANY silver rings from Mexico - also during this period. </p><p>Anyway, I will go ahead and stand on the opinion given before and don&#039;t mind being open to anything the archeologist may have to directly contribute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
