<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2134020, member: 67527&quot;]I know this is an old thread...BUT the Mexico 5 Pesos 1947-1948 Cuauhtemoc&nbsp; is ONE of my FAVORITE coins. They were only minted for 2 years.&nbsp; These mintages can be seen below. What I love about these coins is that it is 90% silver and has more ASW than our beloved Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; It is a large coin with a lot of history behind it.&nbsp; Here are the specs:</p><p><br /></p><p>Quick Coinage Facts</p><p>Years Minted: 1947-1948</p><p>Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper</p><p>Diameter: 40 mm</p><p>Weight: 30 grams (0.868 oz. actual silver weight)</p><p>Mintage 1947: 5,110,000</p><p>Mintage 1948: 26,740,000</p><p>Total Mintage: 31,850,000</p><p>Obverse Design: National Arms</p><p>Reverse Design: Bust Design</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the American Morgan Dollar specs for a comparison between the two:</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Specifications</p><p>Category: Morgan Dollars (1878-1921)&nbsp; </p><p>Mint: Carson City&nbsp; </p><p>Mintage: 12,600,000&nbsp; </p><p>Catalog: KM-110&nbsp; </p><p>Obverse Designer: George T.
