Lots and lots of Mexican medals have low mintages.
That 350 mintage is associated with a "special strike", which I know nothing about.
It is demand that drives the prices.
Mexican medals are not as popular as coins (which is one reason I collect them).
I routinely see a Mexican medal with 50,000 mintage fetch $100 or more.
But I also see medals with a mintage of less than 2,000 go for under $100.

"special strike" - this is "SP" which PSCG give to coins like Probe, Essai, Specimen and ALL non coinage issues like Medals, Jetons, etc... it mean not this medal has special strike - it only for grading SP63 = MS63 or PR63 this medal issued also in nickel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/404820845115and in gold: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275172552898Do you have this (or nickel or gold) medal in your collection? can check about this medals in your books?

As you can tell, information on many Mexican medals is scarce. The definitive resource for Mexican medals is Frank W Grove's "Medals of Mexico" This one is in volume II. It only mentions a gold and silver version. No mintages are mentioned. I 'd like to know more about the 350 mintage figure, as PCGS does not reveal their source for this figure. The ebay listing for the "Nickel" version, I think is actually silver. It is in banged up condition and sold for an unknown amount (under $50). The medal you have pictured is in uncirculated condition, but it has been improperly cleaned. The fields have a multitude of hairline scratches.

2015 Mexican medal commemorating 55 years of the School of Military Engineers Not to be critical but they show a castle for construction engineers, a spherical bomb or smudge pot for industrial engineers, reel-to-reel computer tapes for computer engineers and flags for communications engineers. Mexico mint issue, mintage unknown.  Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |
