1915 RevMex Very Rare PATTERN Chihuahua Peso Ex-Flores Start Price USD 535.00 Current Price USD 765.00 Time Left - Bid Count 8 Buy It Now Price - Reserve Price - Start Time Saturday, August 30, 2008 End Time Saturday, September 06, 2008 Location Rancho Cordova, CA See more about '1915 RevMex Very Rare PATTERN Chihuahua Peso Ex-Flores' Description Offered here is a VERY RARE Pattern of the Chihuahua Army of the North Peso (GB72).  On the GB72 the Eagle side was done by Sevilla and the Liberty Cap side was done by Salazar.  On this Pattern both sides are work of Sevilla.   Joe Flores referred to it simply as the Sevilla Sevilla Pattern and that they are Very Rare.  Description revised 9/2/08 These were struck at some time after the Revolution.  I have one source who states they were struck in the 20's or 30's.  They are the work of Sevilla.  This source also says they were struck in several metals. This piece is in Silver.  I also have one struck in Lead that I will be offering.  The coin itself is Brilliant and does not have the color it appears to have in the photo.  I can only assume the camera "sees" some light irridescent haze that my eyes do not.  It is a beautiful and well struck piece.       Ex Joe Flores.        Thanks for looking!  This coin is from a large collection put together over many years and was acquired by and authenticated by Joe Flores.  We will be offering coins from this collection in the weeks/months to come.    Joe Flores is a well known researcher, author and collector of Mexican Revolutionary Coinage.  Co-Founder and Director of the U.S. Mexican Numismatic Association.  He was the co-author, in 1988,  with C. Woody Woodworth - of "La Ventana - The Window to the Revolutionary Coinage of Oaxaca 1915". He has been a continuing contributor to Krause Publications Standard Catalogs.  In 2003 he contributed the majority of the coinage put on display by the American Numismatic Association's Money Museum Exhibit  "!Viva La Revolution!" and co-authored - with Don Bailey - the book based on this display and with the same title. I am proud to say that he has also been a good and valuable friend for many years.  Joe was also known as the owner of the most complete collection (a collection which was recently broken up with some pieces still being offered) of the coinage of the Revolution and an expert on the subject.  I also have Joe Flores permission to reference him in offerings where he has personally authenticated coinage of this type.  On a personal note I would like to thank Joe for his many years of friendship, enriching my life through the sharing of his knowledge and the many happy hours we have spent together.     EBAY HAS NOTIFIED US THAT BEGINNING IN LATE OCTOBER THEY WILL NO LONGER ALLOW EBAY BUYERS TO PAY SELLERS FOR ITEMS BY PERSONAL CHECK, CASH OR MONEY ORDER AND WILL ONLY ALLOW PAYMENT VIA THEIR OWN SYSTEM, THAT IS, PAYPAL ETC.  THEY HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED US THAT ANY SELLER WHO OFFERS TO ACCEPT CASH, CHECK OR MONEY ORDER WILL HAVE THEIR LISTINGS DELETED FROM THE EBAY SYSTEM.   COMBINE MULTIPLE PURCHASES TO SAVE ON POSTAGE AND INSURANCE!
