Hi, could someone help me with this coin please?
17.33 grams
1918 Un Peso - Mexico
It looks copper or brass with silver plating that has started to wear off.
Is that possible, does the weight make sense?
I thought it was some type of corrosion or rust, but on close inspection it really looks like brown beneath the silver is showing through at wear points, rim, edge, etc. I can measure the diameter. I believe silver weight should be 18.13 grams and not sure if this is indeed copper, the weight would be only a gram off from the silver.
I'm questioning if it is real or not. There is text along the rim which also clearly looks brown copper or brass. Thanks
