Well at least thats what the coin says. Any info about the real value of this coin would be appreciated. i spent 3 hours today on a part.hidden play area at an elem.school. The clad badger strikes again. This is my record day for quarters (21). total coin count today is (75) 1 wheat penny 1956. I have been reading other posts about tot lots and have been trying some with good success. i included pics of some of my stuff/junk to show that i dig my share of junque also

thank you for reading my random thoughts and if you would plz give me some of yours. MD till it hurts. Happy hunting all.

That is a cool coin. I'd love to find one, even though I have no idea where it is from.

Your clad is very sweet. A Great Day.

Congrats.

I think it is Mexican,a 100 pesoe coin? [That is not the right spelling],a pesoe is their denomination for money,less than a dollar.Cool find though.

You are correct, it is a Mexican coin. I found one here in Cali, go figure. 100 peso. Not worth much at all. The earlier ones were silver.

Found one just like it a few years back. Mine was a 1988. Was worth about 7 bucks. I think they devalued their currency (again) in 1993, which means its worth even less now. I thought it was gold at the time.... LOL!

Congrats on the 100 peso coin, like the others said it is Mexican, and since they devalued it it makes its value pretty much nil, I dont know if they even use it any more since they went to the bimetal coins. We like finding foreign coins so it doesnt matter if it has value or not. Bobbie and both found one last summer in back to back parks on same day. So its a start on your coins of the world collection

Badger,
Here is one of those coins from a previous post. I still say it looks like Tom Hanks with a beard.

I share your excitement, especially when the coin first popped out of the ground. I found one of these puppies last month thinking that it was a significant recovery. Ran the US-MX currency converter on it and found it to be worth ~$9 but come to learn from other forumites that merchants in Mexico no longer accept this currency but nonetheless, it is one of my favorite finds this year due to the color, design and high denomination. Good find!

Thanks everyone for the kind replies. I didn't think my coin was worth too much but was surprised to learn that it has no mon. value but I sure enjoyed finding something a little different. I just like to find things , always have even as a youngster. I lack the patience to det for long minutes between signals. I like quantity of hits even if it is clad. Thats why I chose the name clad badger. My coin count is around 2800. I also enjoy finding the unusual stuff, that find there way under my coil and as soon as I learn more about my camera will be posting pics. Thanks again for the help as I am new to computers and the internet.
