1937 Mexican 50 Centavos at the thrift store

Went to a local thrift store during my lunch and saw a 1937 Mexican 50 Centavos in the display case.

It had a $5 price tag. Didn't have my world coin book but figured it should be a little more silver content than a U.S. silver quarter so I went ahead and bought it.

Looked it up and it is 0.1929 oz silver so $5.62.

Not the buy of the century but I was able to get rid of $5 of clad halves that I had sorted :-)
