My Grandma Gave me six mexican coins yesterday. I don't know what years are silver, rare, any errors, Etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
You should probably buy a catalog. However, this site may reveal which of your coins are silver. http://currencydebasement.com scroll down to silver, it is organized by country.
Well, Justin all pre 1946 Peso's & 50 cents are silver, The 1940's 5 pesos are silver as are most of the 1950's 10 Peso's. what years are they ?
I have a very large 5 peso from 1976, two "cinquetta centavos" from 1975 and 1971, two, "un pesos" from 1978 and 1971, 20c from 1976, and a heavy gold colored coin that say 100$ and has some kind of braille. Under the mans face it says V. Carranza.
Justin, Grandma gave you some very nice coins to start a collection with. They are not very valuable but 40 years old is a good place to start. Have fun !
Resources for Mexican coin collecting, informational resources, guide books, etc. Casa de Moneda de México [Mexico's Mint] • Coins of Mexico 1901-2000 T his a link to buy the Krause Publications digital catalog - [download able PDF format]. Nominal cost of $7.99. You can buy the full printed Krause Publications catalog of 'World Coins' or order just a 'section' of specific nations' coinage Krause Publications • Mexico Un Peso KM460 Type Listing Here's one more handy reference site that I believe a member of CT assembled to help identify varieties of 1 Peso coins. • A subscription to Coin World magazine is very affordable and gives you access to weekly numismatic news, information and dealers advertisements. If you subscribe to the digital edition of Coin World, you gain access to all of their other publications: Mexican Coin Values, World Coins, Coin Values, Paper Money, Stamp Monthly, various Special issues, Canadian Coin Values, Euro Coin Values, British Coin Values & US Paper Money Values... all of these can be downloaded as PDFs and viewed on your computer or smart phone or viewed online in Cw's online interface through their web site. The digital edition is around $19/year. If you only subscribe to the printed editions, it is more costly, the news is about a week old and I do not believe you gain access to all the above cited publications, nor archives available online. • Mexican Coin Company.com A dealer with a lot of nice older Mexican coin & currency to browse and learn about. A lot of pricey inventory. • Silver Value for Mexican Coins Just plug in the current spot value in the first box and all fields will populate. • Values for Commonly Traded Mexican Gold Coins Same deal as above, plug-n-play
Aint it! It's very handy and you needn't remember all those minute changes in composition the coins went through over the years. :smile
Krispy, I used to live with my grandparents as a teen. Just the other side of the "Old" crossbay bridge in Rockaway. It was a good place back in the day (1960's). Don't know what its like today
I don't really get out that way much myself to report on it for you. Maybe this will take you back to those days...
Thank you Krispy. Brings back many happy memories. So long ago, many a day I would spend the day fishing off the old crossbay bridge. I remember diving off the Rockaway side, around 60 feet to the water as a kid. There was a great bar just off Flatbush Ave on the Brooklyn side that had great steamers. I can still hear Nat King Coles song "Lazy hazy crazy days of summer" playing in the background. Many a time I crossed that Railroad bridge across from Howard beach. So they named the Marine parkway bridge after Gil Hodges, I like that. Crossing time and space with my memories brings me back to the happiest time of my life. I suppose blood worms are still the most expensive meat per pound on the planet. Take care Krispy. Flashbacks - New York City Aquarium, Wonder Wheel at Coney Island, taking a party boat out of Sheepshead Bay, 1964 Worlds Fair Unisphere with Captain Keds jumping over it with his jet pack and of course Rockaway Playland. Just some childhood memory fragments. Here is my favorite Mexican coin.
