Today I went to my local coin shoppe looking for some deals, but he didn't have anything I normally collect that he was liquidating.
I asked to check out his junk silver box, and right off the bat, I see something shiny in a 2.5x2.5.
The beauty turned out to be a 1979 Mexico Cien Pesos (100 pesos) Silver coin. This is the key coin for this three year issue, with 784,000 examples minted. The other two years had mintages in the millions.
The reverse has a beautiful cut out eagle design, and it's hard to believe that someone would consider this junk silver.
This beauty has a melt value just shy of $11.00, and I'm very happy with my purchase. 😁 This coin made my trip worthwhile.

Cool, we don't spend coins anymore here.
Wow, I thought all counties still used coinage, good to know.
Wow Bruni! That's a lovely coin! Thank you for stopping by and your kind thoughts yesterday. My vote power is zilch because I overdelegated so I wanted to stop by and let you know I appreciate you.
Thank you @wandrnrose7, I think everybody's vote is worth zilch right now, especially mine. You're awesome.
