1945 2 Pesos Mexican Gold Coin

Hey everybody, I just recieved a 1945 2 Pesos Mexican Gold coin from my uncle as a gift. It weighs 1.67 grams, and is about 1/2" in diameter. Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge about it or its value other than that. I would put it at AU-58, maybe MS-60 subjectively.

I know there's a few good gold world coin experts out there, so I hope you'll help me out here! Thanks!

Hey, I have one of those. Tinny little things aren’t they? smaller than a 3cent silver.

No idea of it’s value thought. I’m pretty sure I paid melt for it back in the late 80’s.

 

Yeah, melt is about all I would expect.... I'm not too interested in selling it though because of sentimental value, I would just like to know more about it. And since I don't have the SCoWC, I can't get the info anywhere but on here.

KM#461, mint mark "Mo" (Mexico City).

Unfortunately Krause gives no information on how to tell whether you have one of the estimated 140,000 real '45s, worth about $25 (a 20% premium over melt value) according to the 2006 Krause; or one of the 4,590,493 restrikes "most likely" dated 1945, that were produced from 1951-72, and are not assigned a value by Krause.

It's 1.666g of .900 gold, with an actual gold weight of 482 oz.

 

WHOA!! there's gotta be a missing decimal point there somewhere, or else that is one EXPENSIVE coin! lol

 

Thanks for the info - is there any way to tell if it is a restrike or not at all?

Lol... yeah I saw this too, and I was gonna say that if gold's at about $440/oz right now, I was definitely gonna sell this one for around $212000.00!

But seriously, it's at .0482 oz? So a melt value of around $20 (.0482 x $440)? Still cool with me!

Thanks, ~AJ

 

There may be - it depends on whether the original dies were used and how they were handled. My "expertise" on Mexican coinage is my ability to read Krause, so it will take someone with real expertise to answer your question properly.
