I found one just like that Tank about
2-3 months ago.
When you first see the Gold edge, it
definately makes your heart skip a beat
or two. Congrats on a neat find.

Nice coin!! Its An old Venustiano Carranza $100 peso coin .. The "peso" was renamed as "nuevo peso" in the mid 1990's and the old thick coins were out of commision .. what was $1,000 pesos back then turned into just $1 " nuevo peso " .. so that $100 peso coin was suddently worth just $0.10 peso overnight and for about a year you could trade in these old coins for for new $0.10 coins .. i think they did that again at least one more time since then so it might be worth $0.001 peso by now ..

The exciting thing about metal detecting is, when you get that hit on the detector, you just really never know what you have until you dig it up! Cool find . . .
