Mexico 20 Pesos 1917 to 1959

These are beautiful coins with plenty of numismatic (coin collector) appeal. They contain 0.4823 ounces of pure gold. As such, you can compute the bullion value (BV) of the coin by multiplying the spot gold price by 0.4823. Let's say the current price of gold is $1150 per ounce, that's about 0.4823 x 1150 = $555 US dollars base value for the coin. Use a web site such as kitco.com to get the current price of gold. It changes every day.

This coin is old and beautiful. That means it carries more than just the basic gold value. It carries numismatic (coin collector) value as well. The better the condition, the more numismatic value.

For coins that are worn, or cleaned, or full of stains and spots, the added numismatic value would be about zero and the coin would be worth bullion value (BV) only. Typical additions run like this:

worn: BV (no numismatic value above gold value)
average circulated: BV + $5
well preserved: BV + $30
fully uncirculated: BV + $80

Gold dealers generally charge a small percentage commission to buy and sell gold coins. If you are selling, subtract the commission from the raw value above. If you are buying, add a commission. Shop around for the best commission, 10 to 15 percent is typical.

All the dates in this series of coins carry about the same value.
