from the Stack's Bowers 2017 Collector's Choice sale, lot 72682
Mexico SB517-72682r.jpg

This specimen is a slightly scarce date of a series struck 1873-1904 at the Guanajuato mint. This specimen was lot 72682 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Santa Ana, CA, May 2017), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Peso, 1896/5-GoR. NGC MS-63+. Clear overdate. Sharply struck with attractive luster." Mexico City is the commonest mint, followed by Guanajuato, Culiacan, Zacatecas (scarce), Hermosillo (rare), Alamos (rare) and Chihuahua (rare). All the known specimens are the overdate, 1896/5. Even the common dates have low mintages but the type was widely hoarded, making it reasonably available today.

Recorded mintage: 4,671.

Specification: 1.69 g, 0.875 fine gold, .047 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: KM 410.3.
