<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 26161472, member: 76194&quot;]I love beefy silver coins, and when it comes to them none did it better than the Mexicans. Maybe a small exaggeration, but not much of one, because the coins speak for themselves. </p><p><br /></p><p>First one up: 1948 Cuauhtémoc 5 Pesos in NGC MS-66. Not only Ley 900 (90%), but also larger and more silver than any US silver dollar. The United States was not producing any large silver dollars anymore, so it&#039;s amazing to see our neighbor to the south producing such large silver coins that late in time. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1670194[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Next up is the Constitution 5 Pesos, and this one is also a stunning MS-66. Inflation had definitely taken hold of the Peso, because it is smaller and only 72% pure, but it is still a substantial coin with about as much silver as a US half dollar, but slightly bigger in size.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1670195[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And even by the 1960s the Mexican Mint was still producing some stunners. Check out this 1960 Hidalgo Madero 10 Pesos. Another beefy 90% silver coin. The two portraits are done quite well, and the obverse of the coin, the eagle and snake, it&#039;s a very standard affair.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1670196[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to show your own Mexican silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
