Sounds like about the right silver content. They are .720 fine. You paid a little above spot. These coins were issued to commemorate the 1968 Olympics held in Mexico City.
There are actually 3 types of these coins. A Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. I think the Type to is where the center ring under the guy's foot is lower rather than even with the other top 2 rings and the Type 3 has something to do with the length of the snake's tongue.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

The 1968 25 peso Olympic coins do have .5208 oz. ASW and are 72% Ag. Make sure the coin weighs around 22.5 grams and is not attracted to a magnet. I have recently seen some fake ones here in AZ. Otherwise I too like the Mexican silver coins.
I picked up a roll of them at a local coin show about a year and a half ago for around $6.50 ea. The type I has the rings aligned and the normal straight tongue. The type II has the lower center ring and the normal straight tongue. The type III has the lower center ring and a curved tongue.

Thanks for the Info now to find more for the different types. Thanks Hoard also
