PL-UNCAT – Onza Piedra de los Soles 1993 Mo latón. AU. Medalla muy popular que originalmente fue acuñada en plata 0.925, posteriormente en plata 0.999, este ejemplar a pesar de indicar ser 1 onza Troy de plata ley 0.999 y con peso oficial de 31.103 gramos fue acuñada en latón con un peso de 35.9 gramos. Al contrario de otras emisiones oficiales en las que se preparan cuños sin especificaciones de peso y ley para ser obsequiadas a los trabajadores y funcionarios de Casa de Moneda o Banco de México, este ejemplar fue acuñado con los mismos troqueles de la emisión normal por lo que creemos se trata de una prueba. Únicamente conocemos otro ejemplar el cual vendimos en nuestra Subasta #13 bajo el lote #865, graduada por NGC en PF-64 alcanzando un precio de $23,000.00 más comisión. A diferencia del ejemplar antes mencionado cabe recalcar que es un terminado distinto, ya que a pesar de que la condición es notablemente inferior los campos no ostentan la reflectividad de un terminado espejo, ni siquiera en zonas de poco desgaste, sin duda un ejemplar de interés para aquellos coleccionistas de pruebas o emisiones alternativas. Golpecitos en canto.
ENGLISH:
Very popular medal that was originally minted in 0.925 silver, later in 0.999 silver, this specimen despite indicating being 1 Troy ounce of 0.999 sterling silver and with an official weight of 31.103 grams was minted in brass with a weight of 35.9 grams. Unlike other official issues in which dies are prepared without weight and law specifications to be presented to the workers and officials of the Casa de Moneda or Banco de México, this specimen was minted with the same dies of the normal issue, therefore we believe this is a pattern. We only know of one other specimen which we sold in our Auction # 13 under lot # 865, graded by NGC in PF-64 reaching a price of $ 23,000.00 plus commission. Unlike the aforementioned specimen, it should be noted that it is a different finish, since despite the fact that the condition is notably inferior, the fields do not show the reflectivity of a mirror finish, not even in areas of little wear, without a doubt a specimen of interest for those collectors of evidence or alternative emissions. Nicks on edge.
