Scottishmoney Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Wow, I have never ever seen one of those pesos that wasn't worn and discoloured heavily from circulation. That coin brings a new appreciation of a coin series that I previously thought unattractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Mexico has a fair amount of interesting coins as they have to keep up designing new ones thanks to inflation and instability. And I seemed to have forgot to upload this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Well, that photo of the 0.100 fine peso convinced me I needed a nice one, so I picked one up at the local show today, unfortunately I couldn't just buy one as the 1943s were calling me!

Two Kopeiki Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hello, fellow Mexico coin lovers. My name is Roman and I have 10 Mexican coins that I would like to post, with your permission. I am a collector of mainly War of Independence and Colonial time periods of Mexican history, but have some early Republican Cap'N'Rays... Can I post ? P.S. This forum has some neat smilies! ~Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Kopeiki Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks, guys. Gxseries - I like your icon. That proof Soviet 150 Roubles has to be platinum or palladium, since at that time silver commems were in the 1-5 Rouble face value. Here are some of my Mexicans. I wouldn't go into early colonial stuff (cobs, pillars, portraits), but start with my favorite area - War of Independence: This is a double-counterstamped issue, using the same punch as KM#289, except with a 1 Reale host, instead of 2 Reales listed in Krause: My first coin from Durango Mint was this 181(2) 8 Reales. Which piqued my interest in the early years of this mint and led to my next acquisition - 1815 Durango 8 Reales. Specific Gravity is a little high on this coin, making me believe that another, heavier metal, was mixed with silver to create the alloy, which happened often during the War times: This next piece is another double-counterstamped issue with Morelos and Chilpaz stamps. The host coin is a cast 1809 8 Reales. My all-time favorite is this Gadalajara 8 Reales from 1814. It's so crude - it's beautiful Out of Republican coinage - I'll just post a couple of Cap'N'Rays: 1826 Zacatecas Mint: 1843 Mexico City Mint: 1849 San Lois Potosi Mint: Questions? Comments? Bring 'em on! ~Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
