1921-Mo Mexico Diez Centavos NGC MS 62 BN

CVC & Collectables presents a well-preserved example of early 20th-century Mexican bronze coinage: a 1921-Mo Diez Centavos, struck at the Mexico City Mint and certified NGC MS62 Brown. Issued during the post-Revolutionary era, this large-format bronze coin showcases Mexico’s national symbolism in bold, high-relief detail and represents an increasingly scarce Mint State survivor of the type.

Obverse: National arms of Mexico—an eagle with exposed chest holding a snake in its beak, standing on a cactus rising from a lake. Laurel and olive branches are tied together at the base, with ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS forming a semicircle above.

Collectibility:

With a modest mintage of just over 2.25 million, the 1921-Mo Diez Centavos is far scarcer than later dates in the series. Examples surviving in Mint State are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly with stable, original brown coloration. This NGC MS62 BN specimen offers strong remaining luster, solid strike quality, and minimal handling marks for the grade, making it an attractive choice for collectors of Mexican bronze, revolutionary-era coinage, or high-quality type sets.
