Hello, Hivers and Stackers!

1888 year dated coins are of interest to me because it bears my favorite and lucky triple 8 number.

My stacking sister @kerrislravenhill suggested that I start collecting 1888 year-dated coins. In fact, my sis @kerrislravenhill gifted me with an 1888 coin early this year, and so did @stokjockey.

In the Article Series "My 1888 Coins", I will be featuring the coins I have collected to date.

Check out my other 1888 silver coins in this article series:


So here is another one from south of the border of the US for #fiestatuesday!

Yeah, I know... I know. This coin looks so beat-up. And yet this was heck-so-hard-to-find!!! And besides, I was just after the year date 1888. And I am not numismatist nor pretend to be one, hehe!

BTW, did you get yours?

Are you a member of a precious metals group?

@kerrislravenhill had a brilliant idea for you to start collectiing coins from the year 1888 to go with your account name! That is so clever! And this is a lovely start to that collection, too! The wear on the coin is beautiful! 😃

Mine is not the best specimen, but I love it just the same. I am dying to have the large crown, but it is so darn expensive, and I can't get myself to pay for the price the seller is asking for. The stacker-saver in me won't let me! Maybe I could think of it as a gift to myself for my birthday. What do you think?
Have a lovely week, my beautiful sis @kerrislravenhill! Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of love💓💝 and a million and one Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!

I do crazy buys with the cash I get from refunding all those Bottle deposits, $134 this month too.
And, Happy Birthday Sis! It's only once a year. ;)

OMG!!!! I just ate a fruit filled cake this evening (I am glad it was a sponge cake), and I ate a birthday chocolate cake last Sunday, then ate a caramel birthday cake on Monday and Tuesday. I am sure to have gained weight! But I wish it would go to my face, I need to plump-up in the face, LOL!!!
But you are right... it is only once a year.. the birthday, that is. The eating ins 3 meals x 365 days, LOL!!!

Really cool piece. Being in Aus, Mexican coins aren't something I come across a lot to thanks for the share.

While you say it's a bit beat up, I would rather coins looking like this than in mint condition. It adds character and a story to the coin which is what makes coins more fun to collect that purely stacking silver bars.

Gosh... I wonder which pockets have this coin been to? Could it have been handled by someone from the royalty, or a soldier, a mother, a pauper, a doctor? Was it dropped into the poor box of a church... or did it ever fall off someone's purse and picked-up from the street by a young boy? Yes.. if this coin can talk, the stories it will tell us!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a thoughtful comment, my friend. I appreciate you.
Have a great evening, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I like this coin @silversaver888!!😀 I don't have this one, and to be honest this is the first Mexico Second Republic Silver 25 Centavos I have seen in this year. It has a very unique Reverse design! Like you I have come full circle, and I stack for Oz's, but this coin would be in my keeper stack, very nice my friend!!😀
Have a wonderful evening!😍😍😀

Beat-up coin but great to have. The 8 reales is the best one to have for a 1888 Mexico coin. But I actually want to have all or any type, silver or not. It would be so awesome to have 1888 as carry coin pieces!
Have a lovely day, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I like the look of the coin; it shows it's been around.....literally! There is something so cool about owning something so old as well. If it could tell the stories it has! I like it a lot! Thanks for sharing sis and have a lovely day!🤗🤗💕😘🌸

A really old-looking coin, this one is. There is an even tinier coin... it is the 1888 5 centavos .
Have a beautiful day, my sweet sis @elizabethbit! Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of hugs and love 🤗💕.
