1955-Mo Mexico 5 Centavos Copper PCGS MS66 $330

1955-Mo Mexico 5 Centavos Copper PCGS MS66 $330 This 1955-Mo Mexico 5 Centavos copper coin is a stunning high-grade specimen, professionally certified by PCGS as MS66 BN. Representing a classic era of Mexican numismatics, the obverse features the iconic Mexican coat of arms with an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake, surrounded by the legend Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The reverse showcases the Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez portrait, known as La Corregidora, a key figure in the Mexican War of Independence. This specific piece is notable for its exceptional strike and preservation, maintaining sharp details and a rich, deep chocolate brown patina as indicated by the BN (Brown) designation. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint (Mo), this coin is a premium addition for collectors of Mexican coinage or those seeking registry-set quality copper. While the dealer's tag suggests a retail price of $165, the market value for an MS66 grade of this year reflects its scarcity in such a well-preserved state, making it a significant find for any serious numismatist. Condition: This 1955-Mo Mexico 5 Centavos is in exceptional Mint State condition, designated as MS66 by PCGS. The "BN" suffix indicates a Brown color designation, common for copper coins of this era that have developed a deep, consistent patina. At a grade of 66, the coin exhibits nearly flawless surfaces with minimal marks and a strong strike. The Mint is the Mexico City Mint, identified by the "Mo" mintmark. Its metal content is a copper-brass alloy (95% copper). Historically, this coin belongs to the Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez series, featuring "La Corregidora," a heroine of the Mexican War of Independence. This specific year is a business strike intended for circulation, though few survive in such high numerical grades. The collector value is significant for registry set builders, as MS66 is near the top of the population for this date. While a retail price of $330 is mentioned, recent market trends for MS66 BN examples often fluctuate between $150 and $250, making the listed price a premium valuation for the grade.
