Help buying a Mexican

I'd like to buy a nice 1921 Mexican Dos Pesos (Victoria) coin sometime in the next 3 months. I am going to try and wait for one that grabs me eye appeal wise. Can someone help me ballpark price these in conditions from Xf45 AU 55-58 thru ms 64-65 so I know what to look for in price when I do. Thanks.

This thread title is so wrong...but I lol'ed when I read it..so that makes me a bad person....

 

$15 in XF and $100 in MS

And yea I saw the title and thought...not a Coin type of thread I see.
Then read it and was happy to help after all

 

Thanks. So $50-60 in AU? Whats the best place to track one down for 100 in MS, seems ebay is 200$ for MS, 100 for AU and 50 for XF.

 

I can't help you there. I just looked up the prices from a list I keep.
My collection in these is just a dabbling and I pick them up when I like them and the price is right.
If I come across one I'll let you know.

BTW why a 21?

 

1 year type no?

 

From what I read the 2 centavo is from 1905 to 1941 in Bronze 25mm and in 1915 there is a 20 mm bronze one for that year only.
Again I'm not an expert at this type though.

 

I am after the 2 pesos. The big silver one that the bullion was made after later on.

 

lol opps...thought you were talking about centavo sorry!!

The 2 peso is more expensive..who'd have guessed seeing it's sliver

XF - $65
Unc - $425
BU - $650

 

And yea that's a 1 year type.
Hope that helps.

 

I think I was thrown off from the start with that "Help buying a Mexican" comment.

 

No prob. Thanks for th updated prices. What would you estimate an AU should go for. I have found a decent one in the 150 range but it feels expensive.

 

That's a heck of a price jump from XF to Unc so an Au for 100 to 150 wouldn't be bad I'd say. As long as it's a nice one to the eyes.

 

Here's a nice AU one with light toning that no one seems to have noticed in the current Bowers & Merena auction...

It pretty much has your name written all over it! (Bidding ends 6/18)

 

good pick hiho...Good luck mumu

 

I'm pretty sure that's illegal, but if you really want one, I hear Arizona is trying to get rid of them.

 

Thanks, I will keep an eye on that one.

 

OK I think I found an AU I like. Would you guys agree that the 150$ range is aceptable for an AU?

 

Sounds alright as long as you like the coin.

 

Must say that I thought the same thing about the title when I first saw it yesterday too, but I refrained from comment, till now.

Great looking coins though!

MUMU: I hope when you get your new piece you will post pics of the coin back to this thread or something with a title naming the coin. Good luck in your quest... :smile
