Updated August 20, 2026

1942-M Mexico 20 Centavos Silver MS66 $250 This exceptional 1942-Mo Mexico 20 Centavos is a premium numismatic specimen, professionally graded MS66 by PCGS. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint (Mo), this coin features the iconic "Liberty Cap" sunburst design on the reverse and the Mexican national coat of arms on the obverse. Composed of .720 fine silver, this piece hails from the final years of the silver 20 centavos series before the transition to bronze in 1943, making it a pivotal transitional date for collectors. At a Mint State 66 grade, the coin exhibits blazing original luster, sharp strikes, and virtually no distracting marks, placing it in the top tier of known survivals. With its high technical grade and significant historical context during the World War II era, this silver 20 centavos is a cornerstone addition for any specialist in Mexican coinage or high-grade world silver. Condition: This 1942 Mexico 20 Centavos is in exceptional Mint State 66 (MS66) condition as certified by PCGS, indicating a coin with a strong strike, original mint luster, and very few microscopic marks or imperfections. The mint is the Mexico City Mint, denoted by the "M" mint mark. The metal content consists of .720 fine silver, containing 0.0833 troy ounces of actual silver weight. Historically, this "Resplandor" (Liberty Cap) design was a staple of Mexican coinage, and the 1942 issue was produced during the World War II era when silver coinage was vital for economic stability. The strike type is a standard business strike, though its high numerical grade suggests it was produced from fresh dies. In terms of collector value, an MS66 grade is significantly above average for this type, making it a "Condition Rarity" that commands a premium price of approximately $250, far exceeding its raw silver bullion value. The grading is officially verified by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), one of the top-tier third-party authentication services.
