Yes, I collect Libertads

 

Ooh, nice, but not Revolutionary coinage?

 

Yup, whatever is affordable. I focus on Great Britain and some South American but I enjoy Mexico too.

 

I especially like Revolutionary coinage for its significance: Pancho Villa, Huerta, Zapata...

 

Here are my two Libertads:

 

Mexican coins are some of my favorite world coins.

This is a 1960 ten pesos silver piece to commemorate 150 years of independence. Only 1,000,000 were minted.

 

I found these in the basement of an abandoned building I was doing some demolition work at!

 

Bought this one raw and had it graded. Pleasantly surprised by the result.

 

This one is awesome, I am looking for something of MS63-64 Grade, but this is a very beautiful coin

 

Yes, I'm a big fan of Mexican coins. It's probably my largest collection I have. My goal is to collect every coin from 1905 to present, except super high value coins. I'm doing pretty well so far.

 

Any Revolutionary coinage??

 

Just a few. There are way too many varieties and I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole.

 

Raw or graded coins?

 

Only the silver coins of King Charles III

 

Raw.

 

Yes, I'm a big fan. Unfortunately, revolutionary coins are hard to get hold of in Europe, I suspect they are somewhat more plentiful in the US & Mexico. Here is a pair I found interesting: 8 Reales 1879 and 1 Peso 1898. .

 

And here's my Maximilian peso.

 

Here's a 1910 " Caballito"

 

Here's a 1967 peso (alas only 10% silver), but still handsome.
