1938-M ONE CENTAVO
NGC MS63RB
NGC Certification # 3726703-010
NGC Population: 4/16 (2/01/2024)

This specimen has good luster but suffers from an extremely weak strike on both obverse and reverse. This was a common problem on 1938-M One Centavos. Despite a 10 million mintage for this date well struck specimens are scarce and difficult to find.
