Also what are premiums usually on the 20 pesos? I always thought they were more just bullion value but do people tend to pay high premiums for these? Report this Post to the Staff

scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 04/24/2020 08:38 am Considering that the main portion of the series that was made and dated appropriately was from 1917-1921, I feel that every coin dated 1959 is in essence a re-strike. Sure there were some that were made in 1959 and dated 1959, but that is only 1% of the quantity dated 1959 and made in the 60's. As such, 1959's do not carry much BV premium, maybe 4-5% over if it's in MS. Report this Post to the Staff

The old man who bought this says he got it in 1960 and wen straight into the holder and into his deposit box. It looks different than some of the restricts I've seen by the way the letters are but from what I've seen on the internet the restrict from 1960-71 had the same dye. I saw a post under NGC that said they can't even tell the difference so they consider everything a restrike? Report this Post to the Staff
