<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2908335, member: 15199&quot;]It may look like 1892, but Mexico didn&#039;t make any coins with the &quot;N&quot; until 1993, coin dated 1992. Wiki mexican Peso ~ &quot;In 1993, coins of the new currency (dated 1992) were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 centavos, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 nuevos pesos. The 5 and 10 centavos were minted in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel" rel="nofollow">stainless steel</a> and the 20 and 50 centavos in aluminium bronze. The nuevo peso denominations were bimetallic, with the 1, 2 and 5 nuevos pesos having aluminium bronze centers and stainless steel rings, and the 10, 20 and 50 nuevos pesos having .925 silver centers and aluminium bronze rings.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Mexico did not have coin presses that could do bimetallic in the late 1890s. I think a ding on the coin from useage or other coins in a bag caused the &#039;9&#039; to close a little and look like an &#039;8&#039; . Such occur often on soft metal coins.
