1921 Mexico 50 Peso

I was going through misc gold to sell off and I came across this coin in the SDB. I kind of forgot I owned it. This was back in the days of me trying to collect the early 50 Peso Mexico gold. Only got five coins before I re-directed my coin budget to other areas. It was nice to see it again. I did not buy it from the auction but later. His ownership is noted on the NGC tag. I am keeping it.

"Mexico 1921 50 pesos

Eliasberg lot 3432

This coin was minted in Mexico City in 1921. This specimen was lot 3432 in the Eliasberg sale, where it sold for $1,840. The catalog description[1] noted, "1921 50 pesos. MS-64 (NGC). Striding Liberty, wreath in upheld hand, denomination, weights, dates around/eagle with snake on cactus, legend above, branches below. Highly lustrous light orange gold. A scarce grade for this date. From the John H. Clapp Collection; Clapp estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., 1942." The type was struck 1921-47 along with a silver two pesos. No date is rare but the 1921 obtains a slight premium."
