    The "C" before the "1852" means Culiacan mint.
    The "CE" after the "1852" is the mint assayer's initials.

    (The Chihuahua mint's assayer's initials then were "RG")

    10D 20G means 10 dineros and 20 grammos
    It is an old measure of silver fineness
    12 dineros = 100% silver
    10D 20G = (10 + (20/24)) fine = 0.902777 fine (around 90% silver)

    As for what the coin is worth now, it is pretty worn.

    Aren't you glad you asked?

    In the 4th edition Krause, the coin lists for F-$12.50, VF-$20.00, XF-$40.00.

    The coin also looks like it might be a double die. Is this common for Mexican coins of this era?
