coin
i have coin detail bellow i want know the fact value of this coin plz reply me on my mail

Answer
Hi Sarfaraz, this aluminum-bronze alloy Mexican 100 Pesos coin features Venustiano Carranza, revolutionary leader and president (1917-20), a design used 1984-92. The national symbol of an eagle sitting on a cactus eating a snake is on the other side.
Due to a 1992 currency reform 1000 old Pesos was converted to one New Peso (~10c U.S.).
Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it.
Collector value may be worth about .25 with heavy wear to around $1 with moderate wear to maybe $2 with light wear.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
