Right now I'm looking for info on a 1954 5-Centavo Brass with or without dot. Thanks.   04-04-2005, 12:45 PM   #2 (permalink) warman Member   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 30 I'll restate my Question Is this 5 Centavo Brass Mexican coin the variety WITH or WITHOUT a dot. I don't see a dot but then again I don't know where to look for one. Thanks.

Krause doesn't specify where the dot is/isn't; but since the Mexico City mint mark is described as an M with either a dot or a small "o" over it, and your mint mark is complete, my guess is that you have the dotted variety. Interestingly, 1954 is the only year of this 16-year type with the varieties, and with no mintage figures listed. Over a billion were struck in the succeeding 15 years. __________________ Roy   04-04-2005, 05:02 PM   #4 (permalink) warman Member   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 30 Thanks - that sounds reasonable.

I'll look through my hoard of mexico stuff and see if I can't find the two varieties...   04-04-2005, 05:41 PM   #6 (permalink) Pennycase Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 530 I think the dot (s) are going to be just like the other type cinco centavos .... 1 before the date, and one after the date, spread apart quite a bit... Sounds logical that it's the same way with the other...   04-04-2005, 06:01 PM   #7 (permalink) warman Member   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 30 OK, thanks I didn't realize that. Now I'm real curious. I hope the library helps.   04-04-2005, 06:02 PM   #8 (permalink) Pennycase Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 530 Probably has to do with the changeover in design.... the whole with and without dot variety...   04-04-2005, 07:58 PM   #9 (permalink) Tbirde Senior Member     Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: s.w.
