[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 836732, member: 6229"][B][CENTER][U]MEXICO'S DOUBLE DATE COMMEMORATIVES[/U] [/CENTER] [/B]I'm in a "doodling" mood again and am searching for Mexico's struck-for-circulation commemorative coins that bear double dates on them. Want to help me find them? All photos are courtesy of Don's World Coin Gallery except where so noted. The coins we're searching for will be shown by denomination from 1 Peso through 10 Pesos.
