Re: Mexico 5 Pesos, Guerrero Design (1971-78)

Yep, 1976 "large date" and "small date" varieties are well recorded, and given separate listings in Krause.

Someone gave me a handful of Mexican coins way back when I was a YN; these included two 1976 5 pesos. I recall being delighted when I looked them up in my Krause and found I'd actually been given one of each variety.

According to Krause, the "small date" has a mintage of 21 million, and the "large date" has a mintage of 121 million. The "small" is about double the value of the "large" one in equivalent condition, though neither are particularly scarce.
