It is a fun and nice alternative to buying US morgan and peace dollars. There are so many more mintmarks, die varieties and minor errors compared to US dollar coins. Lower quality control standards and die overusuage creates many collectible varieties within the Mexico 8R series. The 1887 Mo is a common date and easily affordable. If you are buying circulated, i recommend original coins with original toning, none of these blast white cleaned and whizzed coins. For uncirculated coins where you might be spending significant money, make sure the coin is certified by a reputable 3rd party grading service. Even then you should have some basic understanding of mintstate grading because i have seen some questionable coins that should not have been certified and given an UNC/MS 60-70 grade. Reputable 3rd party grading helps novices. As far as raw UNC 8R from mexico, buyer beware for counterfeits out of china, whizzed coins, artificial toning and other problem impaired coins. Also i recommend buying from sellers who stand behind their product and have a fair return policy if you dont like the coin. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for seeing the coin in person with a loupe with proper lighting to see if the coin meets your needs/wants/criteria. Returns not accepted, means buyer beware.Read full review
