Haven't noticed. I have many pieces of Mexican silver jewelry with partial or hard to read stamps. I'd be more wary of a too clean and crisp mark myself. I know they make fake Mexcan sterling just as they make fake everything nowadays but I don't think it is as prevalent as you think though. At least not in my neck of the woods. Out in the southwestern region of the country it may be more widespread than my area, I don't know. All I do know is, I have found many more fake Italy marked pieces or China marked pieces than anything else. I have only found one bad piece of Mexican sterling in the hundreds of pieces I've ownded or handled..

I've only found one fake china peice almost every time I've gotten a Mexico marked piece that was only partial it's been fake, it might just be that those are the counterfeits that are make the rounds here in kansas at the moment

Most of the counterfeit jewelry I find is marked Italy, occasionally though I will find a Mexican piece that is counterfeit even though the majority of the silver jewelry that I find is Mexican which is common here west of the Rockies.

I rarely find a piece from China that is real! I've had a 10K fake ring (which was a HUGE disappointment). A couple from Italy, never from Mexico.
