mexican coins

I don't know much about mexican coins, but just got a bunch (25 or 30) with various dates. Does anyone know if they used silver? what percentage, and what dates?

Any info (or link) would be appreciated.

the top is a Aluminum-bronze,

Coin and that one in that condition is worth about .60 cents. The other one .

 

The bottom one is a 25 peso %72 silver. and is worth about 5 dollars. You should try cleaning it up a little.

 

OK, one more.....

 

Hint: ".720 ley":smile

 

the one pesos dated 1970 and 71 are copper-nickel and not worth much.

 

the 25 centavos from 1953 is %30 silver. and worth about a dollar.

 

Jessash:

How do you suggest cleaning? I thought it was a cardinal sin to clean coins....(fairly new to coin collecting)

 

Is LEY silver?

LOL

Didn't know that....

 

the 36 and 42 10 centavos are keepers. They are only copper-nickel, but are worth between 2-5 bucks a piece.

 

the rest of the old centavos are about the same. Worth keeping.

 

I think if it is made of mostly silver and has that nasty-looking green crap growing on it, then I would clean it with a silver dipo or something like that.

 

"nasty looking green crap"

Is that a technical coin term I should google in order to understand it better?:goofer:
