SB622-72103r.jpg

This specimen was lot 72103 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, June 2022), where it sold for $630. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Chihuahua. 50 Centavos, 1913. PCGS AU-55. Reeded Edge. Well struck for the type and with just a touch of weakness on the reverse, this attractive and delicately circulated example even retains some mint luster and stands as a charming example of the Revolutionary type." This design also comes with a plain edge (KM 609) and is scarcer thus.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 12.65 g, silver, reeded edge, 30 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 608.
