<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 15315, member: 669&quot;]In a giveaway on another forum I won a 1915 copper 10 centavos, struck at the Atlixtac Mint, one of seven mints in the Mexican State of Guerrero, operated by authority of the legendary Revolutionary General Emiliano Zapata. Of course I didn&#039;t know that history until I had the coin in my hand, and researched it, (significantly and permanently) increasing my knowledge and understanding of the history of North America. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The degree of wear clearly shows that it facilitated many, many transactions in that war-torn area, distinguishing it from all the NCLT, proofs and prooflike coins in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did this one, perhaps, even pass through Zapata&#039;s own hands<img src="http://forums.collectors.com/attachments/qmark.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.tinyurl.com/4cj67" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.tinyurl.com/6tzcf" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>(KM#645, a 28mm 1 year type - the color of the obverse scan is very close to that of the actual coin.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
