I've been trying to find (cherrypick) one of these for a while, so to get a BU example out of a mint set (plus a nice 100 Pesos to boot) kind of made my day. <i>Note: I also cherrypicked a Norway 1925 1 Krone Doubled Die Obverse this week, but it's only an XF/AU. And I had no idea it existed before then...so, less of a "quest fulfilled" moment. But still cool. ALSO: I just noticed that the 1 Peso from the 1979 Mint Set has a really strong die clash on the obverse, right near the eye. COOL!! If anyone wants me to image it, I'll do my best and post it here.</i></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
