Looking for grade opinions on this circulated Mexican 50 Centavos.

Normally it would be relegated to the melt bucket, but it's the key of the series, only 100,000 minted.

What appears to be a rim ding on the obverse at 6:00, really is barely noticable in hand.

Well, if grading standards are the same as US coins, VF 30.

I also vote VF-30.

It does not look original and has too much wear for a grade above VF. It likely will not grade by PCGS or NGC.

Seems like the consensus is VF... and I agree. I have no intention of slabbing it. I agree that the color is off, especially around the edges. I like Mexican pieces, and this was an inexpensive way to get one of the keys...
