Quote:Quote: Mexico 50 Centavos 1907 (curved 7): minted in either Denver or San Francisco. My understanding is that these curved-7 centavos were minted in New Orleans. They are the only foreign coins produced at that mint. Mexico 20 Centavos - curved 7 coins were minted in New Orleans. The 50 Centavos - curved 7 coins were minted in Denver and San Francisco. Straight 7 coins of both denominations were minted in Mexico City.

Straight 7 coins of both denominations were minted in Mexico City. I should have paid more attention to the denomination! Thank you for this follow up info.
