Twangator Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 11:36 am Hello, can anyone give me an idea what this coin would grade? I believe this coin is a key date in this series, can anyone confirm? Thank you all. Image: 1938Mex50CentObv.jpg 63.37 KB Image: 1938Mex50CentRev.jpg 78.6 KB Report this Post to the Staff

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 3:33 pm I would agree that this coin is at least AU. The book value would be between $85 and $225. I'd only bother slabbing it if you felt the need to authenticate it or are going to sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 9:22 pm Nice coin! In A Guide Book of Mexican Coins, Buttrey and Hubbard single out the 1938 50 Centavos as having a high number of altered-date counterfeits. Yours looks authentic, but knowing that counterfeits are out there may shape your decision to have it authenticated by a third-party grading company. Report this Post to the Staff
