Question
My brother recently found a mexican coin, gold colored dated 1935.
It is labeled 100 estapdos and has writing unitos mexicos. can you give me any information re this coin and its value. thank you
)
This would be a Mexican 100 pesos from 1985. The 8 can sometimes have parts of the loops missing, making it look like a 3. I have attached a picture for confirmation.
Unfortunately it would not have a significant value, being a modern coin with many millions having been made. In perfect condition this coin is worth a few dollars, but circulated, stained or damaged coins do not have collectible value at this time.
Thanks for the question! =)

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.
