Hi! This is a 5 centavos from Mexico-Revolutionary Chihuahua. But I'm quite confused by its further identification. There are 4 types of 1914 5 centavos, two of which (KM#613a and 613b) are made of brass or cast copper and can be easily excluded. But I cannot tell my one is whether KM#612 or 613. KM#612 is much scarcer than 613, so it is meaningful for me to distinguish them. Anyone can tell? Many thanks!
I don't know about this coin specifically, but here is a link to a number of varieties you can compare your coin to: [SIZE=+2]Mexican Revolutionary Coinage: Chihuahua[/SIZE]
Here's some that I have in my collection. I am currently working on a variety identifier for this series. I'll let you know when I'm done. BTW: Congrats on your coin. It's very nice. Like yours too Siberian Man.
Those are all great coins but if I'm not mistaken they are all KM 613 with spearheads at the date. Does any one have a KM 612 with the rosettes? I would like to see the difference. Thanks Derek
