    Okay friends, so hang with me here. I found these Mexican coins stashed away with a couple other world coins that I have. I collect US coins so I have little to no knowledge on World Coins. I was hoping that someone could give insight on if these coins are valuable or what the metal content is? In order they are a 1944 5 Centavos, 1953 5 Centavos, 1960 20 Centavos and 1985 100 Peso. Again, I don't know much about these coins so anything would help.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    People collect the coins you've shown mainly b/c of the design. The value is very little and the metal content is copper or bronze. The Mexican coins that most people collect are the silver ones b/c most of them list the silver content on the reverse.

    Those are common coins from Mexico, fun to collect but not worth anything unless in BU condition. I can get you exact metal content if you so desire but I think it's sufficient to say you won't make much/any money from their melt value.
