1945Mo MEXICO G2P Restrike MS 64 1 1

[Cary Coins]

 

About 10 years ago I bought this 1945Mo MEXICO G2P at an antique store in Mebane NC.  I believe I paid about $60.  Recently sent it in to NGC for Grading and was pleasantly surprised.

Finding an original that nice might be difficult.

Nice coin

I seldom think about Mexican pieces and seldom think about gold, and almost NEVER about Mexican gold, but are these one of those perpetual restrikes, like the 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler?

I do not believe so. I heard a familiar voice tell me, "Look it up," and so I did.

They were minted from 1919-1947, have a gold melt value of about $105., but what it is worth depends on the grade NGC assigned it when he submitted it to them and the OP said he "was pleasantly surprised."

(FWIW: By contrast, the well-known Centanario 50 peso gold coin weighing in at 1.206 troy ounces has a melt just under $2500.)
