Peso

[Royal]

I was going through some old finds and ran across this little guy. Anyone know if it has any value at all. I have not a clue where I found it or when. It was just in with a bunch of other coins. I don't usually pay much attention to them once I have found them but this little guy caught my eye.

Thanks guys

Yep, I'll pay you $5 for it Royal......................






Go to Ebay and look up 2 peso gold and you will see it is worth about $60-70. Hey gold is gold. It is a Mexican bullion coin, all bearing the date of 1945.

I once found a little tiny gold coin, at least I think that is what it was, so dang small it was hard to see but it seems it had a date of 1853 or something like that, I forget. It had a bust on one side and I think California and an eagle on the other. I lost it I guess. I have not seen it in years.

You mean this Peso is gold?

Heck, that is a new avitar and I just had to use it

Thanks again Larry

yer description sounds like a territorial coin.
If you lost it like ya think, i sure hope it wasn't territorial.
A one dollar territorial was found here in SW Pa, well , actualy, midwest Pa.,
New Bethlehem Pa, and it sold for 25K.
That story ran in W&E a while back.

That 2 1/2 Pesos Gold coin goes for between 90 and 120 bucks

Some of these gold coins are used principally for smelting in the jewlery trade..

Worth more than $5.00 in any case.
