    Requesting info from anyone regarding this coin. The NGC World Coin Catalog has a listing for it that is ambiguous, so I am looking for information to confirm its value.

    So, how do I confirm this coin with this value range? Can anyone point me towards more info? Any dealer members here dealt with this before?

    Or, do I submit for authentication to confirm a value?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help…Spark

    I don't look at those graphs at all, the link I use says the gold is worth $300 and change, add a fair premium, look at feebay and see what they're asking and decide what you'd like to pay, if you're selling same difference turned around, price of gold is down today, hope that helps. I'm sure someone else has a better way! :D

    Oh the weight is 2.1 grams at 22k.

    Too many restrikes out there...$300 +/-

    I'm pretty sure there are no re-strikes dated 1948. And if that's true, there's no apparent explanation of why the NGC chart shows $3K+ for a 1948 and just $300+/- for a 1947 (neither of which are restrikes supposedly), because the 1947s have lower mintage numbers than the 1948s.

    I've searched and searched for years on the internet for clarity/definitive info regarding the mintages and restrikes of Mexican gold. Lots of conflicting info and unsubstantiated opinions is all I've found so far ;).

    So this is my contribution to the unsubstantiated opinions on the internet.

    Sorry, I was thinking the 1945's

    I still agree with your price recommendation of $300 +/- though.
