What do we pay for a silver 100 pesos Morelos?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.75 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 pesos | 19.994 g | 27.77 g | €33.53 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure silver it contains.
This coin is 720‰ pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.
Silver only from 1977 to 1979. After that the 100 pesos became a smaller coin in base metal.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Three years of silver
Mexico introduced the 100 pesos in 1977 as a silver circulating coin, with the independence hero Morelos on the obverse and the Mexican coat of arms on the reverse. When the silver price exploded in 1979, production stopped and a smaller coin without silver followed.
What we check
We weigh and measure the coin and test the fineness. A silver 100 pesos contains 19.99 grams of fine silver. Later base-metal pieces can be recognised by their size and date.
