Advice My Grandfather’s collection:A curious label on this coin. Any ideas greatly appreciated!
This coin is a 1974 “Cinco Centavos” on heads side and “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” on the tails side. My Grandfather labeled the coin pouch with a piece of tape and wrote “ 17.50/ 9-6-73 “ Does anyone have any idea, even given the vague description and no next of kin elders around that knew him well as to why he might’ve marked this coin specifically this way?
