<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1866524, member: 15488&quot;]Collecting Mexico&#039;s coins are becoming more and more popular IMO. I have been focusing on them for over a year and find that you can find a lot of un-circulated coins at prices close to Krause, but not always. There are a lot of one year types that tend to be elusive. Like anything else you have to do your research and check several sources. Some coins you may not go after the Unc.s. It depends on you goals. For example the 1918-45 peso you mentioned. The 1918 is listed at $1350 for an unc. in Krause. I picked up a very nice VF at $45. The 1943 list for $15 in Krause and I was able to find one in unc for $12. Since I am a type collector, these fit my goals. Since my set is complete, I am working to collect one coin from each of the mints during the Revolutionary period. I have set fine as a minimum for these coins. The prices are no where close to Krause in the real world so I am having to do more research to determine what the real prices are.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could do a very nice date set on the 20 Centavos in unc without going much over Krause values. 1951,1955, and 1959 will be the challenge. I just picked up an unc 1951 for $4o. This coin list for $100 in Krause. It has a small rim ding, but it was $60 cheaper. My goal is to capture as many as possible in BU.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
