<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mackat, post: 2722833, member: 45768&quot;]I unfortunately had to return the Guatemalan peso that I previously posted here, as there were some spots on the obverse that were far more obvious in person than in the pictures. I tried to get past them, but couldn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m happy to have just won this one on Heritage. It looks like it has a lot more luster, minus the spots. It&#039;s also one grade higher. I really love the toning on the edges! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This particular year has some peculiarities in the strike, which I find interesting. Note the break in the top of the &#039;E&#039; in &#039;Guatemala&#039;, the non-uniform curviness at the bottom of the letters, something going on under &#039;Un peso&#039;, and the break in &#039;Lagrange&#039; (Jean Lagrange, the engraver&#039;s, name). Can anyone explain the reason behind these?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F5%2F3%2F2%2F8%2F15328957%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F5%2F3%2F2%2F8%2F15328958%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
