Updated August 20, 2026

1943-M Mexico Silver 20 Centavos MS65 $180 This 1943-Mo Mexico Silver 20 Centavos is a stunning example of mid-century Mexican numismatics, professionally graded MS65 by PCGS. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint (Mo), this coin features the iconic national emblem of an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake on the obverse, surrounded by the legend "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS." The reverse showcases a radiant Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty, above the denomination and date, flanked by laurel and oak branches. As a Gem Mint State specimen, it displays original mint luster, crisp design details, and exceptional eye appeal. Composed of 0.720 fine silver with a weight of 3.33 grams and a diameter of 19mm, this "Resplandor" type is highly sought after by collectors for its historical significance during the WWII era and its high-grade preservation. This specific coin offers a premium opportunity for registry set collectors or those specializing in Latin American coinage. Condition: The coin is in Mint State 65 (MS65) condition, indicating it is a high-quality gem uncirculated specimen with strong luster and very few minor surface marks or distractions. The mint is the Mexico City Mint, signified by the "Mo" mint mark. The metal content consists of .720 fine silver, containing approximately 0.0772 troy ounces of actual silver weight. Historically, this 1943 20 Centavos belongs to the "Resplandor" or Liberty Cap series, minted during a period of global economic transition during World War II. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation, though this specific piece has been preserved in exceptional condition. The grading is officially certified by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) as MS65. Regarding collector value, while the provided price is $180, recent market data and the "Retail: $90" sticker on the slab suggest that $180 may be significantly above the current market average for this common date, even in a gem grade, making it a common but attractive piece for silver crown or Mexican type set collectors.
