1945 - 2 Pesos Mexico

5 posts in this topic

Hi,

 From what I've read :

https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/mexico-estados-unidos-mexicanos-2-pesos-km-461-1919-1948-cuid-1199731-duid-1418597

I see these were restruck form the 1950s-70s.  I've had this since around 1958, maybe earlier. Any way to tell if it is an original 1945 or restrike? Also any guess regarding its grade or any other info about this coin would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't know, but I do know there are people here who can help. 

I also know that these were counterfeited, so hopefully someone can help with that as well. 

In the meantime, would it be possible to try posting better pictures - your pictures are under lit and out of focus. Try taking a few more pics, and hopefully we'll get something someone can tell from.

Lighting effected the pics a lot. So here are two different lightings of the same coin. The added flashlight seemed to make it less red. Not as true to the real color, but maybe easier to see definition. If its not good enough I can take it out of the holder. I'm sure the clear placstic over it effects it a bit, but I'd rather not remove it, unless you think it matters.

Looks like a nice unc 2-peso, I'm not sure if there is a way to tell the restrikes from the originals, but most of these just sell for bullion value as it's affordable at about 1/20 of an ounce.  In any case it's a pretty coin!
