This specimen is one of a type struck in [[Mexico]] at twelve mints 1869-95. This date from the Culiacan mint is rare tho the Durango issue is the key for 1873. Many dates of the balance scale 25 centavos are unknown in high grade. The second specimen was lot 9059 in Ponterio sale 159 (Baltimore, March 2011), where it sold for $373.75. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "MEXICO. Culiacan. 25 Centavos, 1873-CnP. Weakly struck as usual, toned with underlying luster. EXTREMELY FINE."
