    I'm trying to ID the mintmark on this 1893 5 Centavos. It appears to be a C ^A M, but I don't know what mint that might be.

    From the Guide to Decimal Coinage of Mexico:

    My reference has Chihuahua issuing 133,000 of the 5 centavos .9027 silver, often given as .903

    Standard Catalog of Mexican Coins, paper money, and medals by Vogt and Bruce.

    My guide to Mexican coins by Buttrey & Hubbard has the 5c of 1893 CaM (Chihuahua Mint & Assayer's Initials) and a mintage of 133,020

    Thanks guys! It's weird how some catalogs just neglect to mention a date or mint.
