1944 Mexico Copper 5 Centavos PCGS MS64 $130

Updated August 20, 2026

1944 Mexico Copper 5 Centavos PCGS MS64 $130 This exceptional 1944-Mo Mexico 5 Centavos is a premium example of the Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez series, professionally graded MS64RD by PCGS. The "RD" designation is particularly significant, indicating that the coin has retained its original, vibrant mint red luster without the darkening or "browning" typically seen on copper pieces of this age. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint (denoted by the "Mo" mint mark), this coin features the profile of "La Corregidora," a national heroine of the Mexican War of Independence. This specific year is notable as it was struck during the height of World War II, a period where copper was a vital strategic resource. At a Mint State 64 grade, the coin exhibits a sharp strike with minimal surface marks and a brilliant, eye-catching glow, making it a high-eye-appeal specimen for collectors of Latin American numismatics. Priced at $130, this encapsulated treasure offers a perfect blend of historical significance and preserved metallic beauty. Condition: This 1944 Mexico 5 Centavos is in choice uncirculated condition, officially graded as MS64RD by PCGS. The RD designation indicates it retains original mint red luster, a highly desirable trait for copper coinage. The surfaces appear clean with minimal distracting marks, consistent with a high-grade specimen. It was produced at the Mexico City Mint (identified by the Mo mint mark) and is composed of copper. This coin features the portrait of Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, a heroine of the Mexican War of Independence, known as La Corregidora. Historically, this issue was part of a transition period in Mexican coinage during World War II. As a business strike, it was intended for general circulation, but this specific example has been exceptionally preserved. Its collector value is driven by the combination of the high MS64 grade and the Red color designation, making it a premium example for a type set or Mexican numismatic collection. At $130, the price reflects the scarcity of finding these wartime copper issues in such vibrant, original condition.
