[Ancient Gold Appraisal] Buying and selling 1882 Mexican Eagle Silver Coins

The Mexican Eagle silver coin of 1882 is one of the classic silver coins minted in Mexico in the 19th century, belonging to the Mexican Eagle series. Eagle silver coins were a widely circulated hard currency at the time, used in international trade and popular in Asia, South America, and Europe. This particular coin is approximately 38 mm in diameter, weighs 27.07 grams, contains 90% pure silver, and has a standard silver content of 24.44 grams.

The obverse of the silver coin features the Mexican coat of arms: an eagle standing on a cactus, holding a snake in its beak, symbolizing Mexico's independence and national spirit, surrounded by the words "República Mexicana" (Republic of Mexico). The reverse features a Liberty Cap, inscribed with the word "LIBERTAD," with rays radiating from its back, symbolizing the dawn of freedom. Below are the year "1882" and the denomination "8R," representing eight reales (the face value of one eagle silver coin), as well as a mark indicating the coin's minting location.

Mexican silver eagle coins remain highly sought after by collectors due to their high silver content, strong international reputation, and exquisite design. In particular, well-preserved versions of the 1882 edition, especially those with significant historical value, often command high collector prices in the antique coin market.
