Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 374480)
In the 1950s, collector Edward H. Metcalf commissioned five restrikes, in platinum, of the 1947 Centenario. Although they were struck from the original dies, and in a heavier metal, they weigh slightly less than the gold Centenarios (41.666 g. for the gold vs. 41.3 g. for the platinum). Unlike the originals, they have plain edges. The restrikes are well known to Centenario enthusiasts for both their pristine beauty and their great rarity.
Obverse: The national coat of arms with the eagle facing forward, head to the right, above a spray of oak and laurel; above, the legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.
Reverse: The statue atop the Independence Monument, known as El Ángel (based on Nike, the Greek goddess of victory), with volcanoes in the background. To the left of the statue, 50 / PESOS. To the right, the coin’s gold weight, 37.5Gr. / ORO / PURO. At lower right, the date; at lower left, 1821.

About CDN Prices
All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.
The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
