I don't know him does he put them on loan or is it a private collection?

Abuelo

He has posted many, but many, of his pictures in here. Mainly on the Thursday thread.

WildWestHalfDollars

Thanks. I have no intentions of collecting them just curious.

Patterns for Mexican coins exist. I own a few.

Many are one-of-a-kind or extremely rare, unlike US patterns. Unfortunately, it's not a widely-collected area and Mexican patterns are relatively cheap.

WildWestHalfDollars

Is their a book about Mexican patterns?

pruebas

There is a small one from 1936 by Dr. A. F. Pradeau.

And there is one in Spanish from 2019 that covers 20th Century patterns, but it's very hard to obtain.

Outside of those, the best reference to Mexican patterns is Buttrey-Hubbard catalog, Fifth Edition from the late 1980s. The Sixth (and final) Edition isn't as readable, but is also ok. You can often find that book on ebay or online for around $10-20.

WildWestHalfDollars

Thanks will look into it.

In your estimate how many Mexican patterns total exist? I am not even sure if this question is answerable.
