193?-M Mexican 5 Centavos!


Hey guys, here's my 19- wait a minute. The date's been worn off! Damn Mexicans always have to make things harder on us white folk! Well, I guess that ends the post.

Not! I'll use my detective skills to figure out the date. I can clearly see a 193 before the mystery number so it was definitely minted in the 1930's. There were only three years in the 1930's in which this coin was produced, 1936, 1937, and 1938. From there, I can tell that it's definitely not the 1937. Finally I come to the conclusion that it is most likely the 1936 because the 1938 has a substantially smaller mintage and because it just looks more like a 6 than an 8 to me. If it's the 1936 it is worth $0.05. If it's the 1938 it's worth $0.25.
