1947 NGC MS-65 Mexican 50 Pesos Gold Coin (Restrike) - Texas Miner Hoard

1947 NGC MS-65 Mexican 50 Pesos Gold Coin (Restrike) - Texas Miner Hoard

Imagine being paid with a heavy fistful of flashy Gold Mexican 50 Pesos at the end of every work day.  This sounds like a golden dream come true to the modern stacker or investor.  This was more than a wish for a director who served on the board of a prominent Mexican Mining company. At the close of every board meeting, he was presented with pristine Gold Mexican 50 Pesos as the requested compensation for his time. Being an astute mining executive, he knew the long-term value of gold and, upon returning home to Texas, securely stashed the gold coins in his vault. Over the course of decades and countless board meetings, his gold hoard grew larger and larger as a hidden measure of his success until it was passed on to his children. Now, for the first time, this exciting hoard is being made available exclusively to our SD Bullion customer base, certified by NGC as the Texas Miner Hoard.

First struck in 1921 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Mexico’s independence, the stunning 50 Peso design displays a Winged Victory on the obverse, and the Mexican Coat of Arms with an eagle on the reverse. The coin proved immensely popular and was minted for years while being used extensively in international trade. One can see a direct comparison to the famed Saint Gaudens $20 Double Eagle with a similar Liberty/Victory design and a proud Eagle. There is one key difference, gold 50 Pesos are nearly 25% larger and heavier containing an entire quarter ounce more pure gold than a Double Eagle! It’s no wonder our savvy Texas Miner hoarded these beautiful and impressive gold pieces. Now, you have the opportunity to add his carefully preserved masterpieces to your own collection or stack!

Certified by NGC with the exclusive “Texas Hoards” label, these Texas Miner Hoard coins are one of several upcoming hoards of vintage US & World coins that have only recently come to light in the great State of Texas. Don’t miss this opportunity to add this piece of numismatic, mining, and Texas history to your very own collection!

The Design

The obverse features the Mexican Coat of Arms, with an eagle perched on a cactus, symbolizing the nation, and a rattlesnake representing foreign influence.

The reverse portrays the Winged Victory, the angel of independence, with outstretched wings, holding broken chains, and a laurel wreath as symbols of freedom. 

The coin’s face value, “50 PESOS,” its weight, “37.5 Gr” (equivalent to 1.2057 oz), metal content, “ORO PURO,” the year of independence “1821” on the lower left, and the minting year on the right complete the design.

An NGC MS-65 Coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) is internationally recognized for appraising and grading coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale as a parameter. It works apart from sovereign mints, certifying coins from 1 to 70.

An MS-65 coin means that the analyzed coin has the same format as a business coin that still displays high-quality luster despite its aged mintage. Minor contact marks and scatters may be noticeable, but the coin has an overall quality above the average.
