Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 12:12 pm A more obscure modern Mexican coin. The last of this denomination struck in silver (albeit just .300 pure). Produced only in 1950 (a bit over 13½ million) and 1951 (a little more than 3½ million), with a design unique to this issue. Despite the large mintage, you don't see too many, leading me to believe that over the years more than a few of these found their way to the smelter. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Agreed this is a coin you don't see every day. Mine is a 1950 piece though. Here's the whole set of .300 silver: Report this Post to the Staff

sailoranna New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 03:17 am yeah I grabbed one of those for about 20 cents. I have a collection starting of the 1960's pesos that are like 10% silver. Report this Post to the Staff
