Anyone collect Mexican coins?

Do you collect by series, type, or denomination?...how about by design?

  • I have a few, one of the very few countries I collect in BU. I like the designs and history and for the most part they are "inexpensive" although "under-valued" would be more accurate. Once I get my camera software figured out I am going to be posting some photos.

    I put together a peso type set, but I don't have the latest issues.

    I collect coins of the Mexican War for Independence.

    BTW, if you're not already a member, you should consider joining the U.S. Mexican Numismatic Association.

  • I really like the pre-1830 coins of Mexico. I think the two year types of Iturbide (1822-23) and the one year hooked-neck eagle silver coins (1824) are really undervalued. Actually, pretty much all the 18th century silver is undervalued I think
  • I'm interested in grabbing a mint state peso from 1920-1927 but I haven't seen the right one yet.

    I have 3 sets of the 100 Peso State Coins I am putting together to collect the series. I would like to keep one and sell the other 2 at the end of the series. I someone wants a complete set get ahold of me in 2005. Kind of a cool set.
