Morning everyone....
I hope everyone is having a good day. It’s gonna be a beautiful day here in the northeast today. Mid 70’s with plenty of sunshine.
Today I am going to post in my #fiestatuesday tag. As I’ve stated I’m trying to get back to posting in the tags I created awhile back.
I am going to share a very old gold Mexican coin. How old you might be asking? Well it’s over one hundred years old.
The coin is a 1920 Dos Peso gold coin. It’s just under two grams which isn’t a ton of gold, but it’s a cool coin and I own it.
