One is 1988 and the other is 1990, they both are gold and on the front it shows $100 with a face on it, any idea what they are worth?
On the back it looks like an eagle, but I would have to get the magnifying glass out. As I said they are gold.

Hi, are you referring to this coin :
http://www.worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=img5/121-493&desc=Mexico%20km493%20100%20Pesos%20(1984-1992)
If so, then it's not made of gold, but aluminium-bronze, and it's valued from $0.15 in average circulated to $2 in mint condition. The $100 pesos denomination on the coin is old pesos unit, not at par with the current Mexican money.
The person depicted on the $100 pesos coin is Venustiano Carranza.

US gold pieces also nominally say $10, $20, $40. You could still spend them as such but would be throwing away alot of gold.
Maybe 100 pesos ($10) is the small coin (again, magnifying glass), and it's real gold, or it could just be a $10 spending coin.
I don't know why they might need such an expensive spending coin though, $10 should be a bill, but different countries..

It fullyyt relies upon on the truthfully challenge of the coin, it would want to be nicely worth something from a pair of pennies to thousands of greenbacks. Is it corroded, chipped, or damaged? For a accepted idea, i might want to signify surfing Ebay's historic coin area for round 20 minutes to get a strong idea of accepted nicely worth. Pay particular interest to the challenge and high quality of the coin.

The dollar sign on Mexican money stands for pesos, which are close to 1/10th of a US dollar. If it's really gold, don't spend it because it's worth a lot more than $10 US!

It's 100 pesos and it's worth whatever 100 pesos is worth today in your monetary unit of choice. It's not real gold.

I do believe it is .985% gold, the currency exchange rate is like $10 USD... A jewelry store might give you more. I hope.

$18.44 - That is both coins together, 1988 is not old it doesn't change the value, I doubt they are gold but if they are then that is just how they normally are, Sorry if this disappoints you.
PS please award best answer
