How much is the 1 Peso Guerrero 1914 (Lead): Revolution Coin Value worth?
The market value of the 1 Peso Guerrero 1914 (Lead): Revolution Coin Value is not yet documented with enough data to give a firm range. Weigh and measure your piece, compare it against the specifications, and check the forum for a second opinion.
The real price depends on four factors: the grade of preservation (a circulated piece is worth the low end of the range; an uncirculated one, or one still in its official blister pack, the high end), the finish (satin vs mirror/proof), the rarity within the series based on the mintage, and the metal spot price on the day of the deal when the piece is silver or gold. Check the value-by-grade table above and compare with equivalent pieces before buying or selling.

Description
If you inherited a 1914 Guerrero 1 peso struck in lead, here is the honest answer: most examples trade from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars depending on condition and authentication. This is not a rare gold coin worth a fortune, but it is a genuine artifact of the Mexican Revolution with a real collector market.
What you actually have
This is a 1 peso dated 1914 from the state of Guerrero, issued during the Mexican Revolution (1910 to 1920) when regional forces struck their own emergency coinage. The legend on it reads Reforma, Libertad, Justicia y Ley (Reform, Liberty, Justice and Law). The reference to "oro 0.300" describes the intended gold-fineness type in the broader Guerrero series, but the piece in front of you is a lead (plomo) example, not gold. That matters a lot for value, so check your metal carefully before you get excited.

Is it worth money?
Revolutionary Guerrero coinage is collected, and genuine gold and silver examples of the type can command strong prices. Lead pieces are a different story. Lead was used for trial strikes, patterns, and low-cost provisional issues, and the market for a lead 1 peso is thinner than for the precious-metal versions. Realistic expectations:
- Worn, damaged, or corroded: a few dollars to around 30 dollars. Lead corrodes and pits easily, and a rough surface kills value.
- Solid, clearly detailed, authenticated: roughly 50 to a few hundred dollars, driven by demand for genuine Revolution-era pieces.
- Certified in a slab with sharp detail: the top end, where a verified rarity or clean strike lifts the price.
Because lead pieces are frequently faked or misidentified, an unattributed example without certification sits at the low end until proven otherwise. The premium here comes from authenticity and eye appeal, not from metal content. Unlike a silver Onza Libertad or a gold Centenario, a lead coin has no bullion floor to protect its value.
The myth to ignore
A "1914" date and a Revolution story make people assume big money. Old does not mean valuable. Millions of coins survive from this era, and lead examples in particular are common in low grades and heavily reproduced. If someone online tells you a lead 1 peso is worth thousands sight-unseen, be skeptical. The figure only climbs with independent authentication and a genuine, well-preserved surface.
How to check what yours is worth
- Confirm the metal. Lead is soft, dull gray, and heavy for its size. It scratches with a fingernail far more easily than silver. If you think it might actually be silver or gold, get it tested before assuming anything.
- Verify weight and diameter. Use a jewelry scale and a caliper and compare to the table above (57.46 g, 45.38 mm). Fakes commonly miss the correct weight or diameter and show flat, mushy relief.
- Grade the surface. Corrosion, pitting, and heavy wear drop the price fast. See our Mexican coin grading guide to place your example on the scale.
- Get a second opinion on authenticity. Because provisional and lead pieces are heavily counterfeited, post clear photos of the obverse, reverse, and edge to the Pesoteca forum before you buy or sell.
Where to sell it
The safest routes are a verified shop from the Pesoteca dealer directory, sorted by city, where you get an in-person valuation, or the Pesoteca buy-and-sell forum among collectors who know the Revolution series. Photograph the coin from every angle and check the range above before agreeing to a price. Avoid dumping it to the first buyer on social media, and be wary of anyone who quotes a huge price without seeing photos.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the 1914 Guerrero 1 peso lead coin worth?
In lead, most examples run from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars depending on condition. Worn or corroded pieces sit at the low end (a few dollars to around 30). Clean, authenticated, or certified examples reach the top of that range. Lead has no bullion value, so authenticity and eye appeal drive the price, not metal content.
Is the 1914 Guerrero 1 peso rare?
Genuine gold and silver Guerrero Revolution pieces are more sought after and command higher prices. Lead examples were made as trials and provisional issues and are less scarce in low grades, plus they are widely reproduced. A verified, well-preserved lead piece can still bring real collector interest, but an unattributed one stays at the low end until authenticated.
Where can I sell a 1914 Guerrero 1 peso?
The safest options are a verified shop from the [Pesoteca dealer directory](/tiendas), which gives you an in-person valuation, or the [Pesoteca buy-and-sell forum](/foro/compra-venta) among collectors. Photograph the obverse, reverse, and edge, and check the value range on this page before agreeing to a price.
How can I tell if my Guerrero 1 peso is genuine?
Confirm the metal first (lead is soft, dull, and easily scratched), then check the weight and diameter against the specs above (57.46 g, 45.38 mm) using a jewelry scale and caliper. Fakes often miss the correct measurements or show flat, weak relief. Because these are heavily counterfeited, post clear photos to the [Pesoteca forum](/foro) for a second opinion.
