Question
i found a coin about the diamature, 1/2 the thickness, of a 20 centavo mexico coin . . . front side has a figure of a full standing person with the date of 1894 under the feet ... wrapping around the top are the words negoiacion del doctor ... on the back side around the top is vale por, 20cs across the middle, around the bottom is tienda, to the naked eye the coin is discolored and hard to see, but, under a magnifying glass there is minute detail to the face of the standing figure...
what is it?? history is interisting?? really beat up so not expecting much value
Hi Earl,
This is actually quite a rare token you have. It's a mining token from the Mexican state of Queretaro. I'm aware of the 10 and 20 centavo denominations, but there may be others as well. In medium condition, it's worth $300-$500 depending on overall eye appeal. I would not be able to give you a reliable value without seeing a clear picture of it, which you can attach to a follow-up question on this website.
Thanks for the question! =)

| Comment | THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I'm pretty good at research but I couldn't find any refereces or information from anything I could observe from the coin, I was about to give up, but "not finding any information" made me suspicious, DMITRY ROCKS . . . he gave me enough information to research the coin's history . . . and it is worth a lot more than I imagined. Dmitry should get 2-10's in each catagory. THANK YOU AGAIN! | ||

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
