    It is an 1878 Mexican Centavo struck at the Potosi Mint. Look it up on the Internet. Appears these are valuable in high grade so yours probably retails over $60.

    Potosi mint. According to "The Republic One Centavo", the mintage is 751,000 and it is a common date.

    Actually it’s the San Luis Potosi mint. The Potosi mint is in modern-day Bolivia.

    Yes, it is. Excuse my brevity, didn't mean to mislead anyone by omitting "San Luis" in my previous post.
