New Mexican coins for my collection with pics

One of the reason I collect Mexican coins is I think they are a good investment.

The first one is a great example. It is a four year type and this one is the key at a mintage of 30,000 yes 30,000!

This one is mint state and I purchased it from a local dealer for $80


The next one is brown copper with some red peaking out here and there. Also mint state. Trust me, if you ever come come across full red Mexican unmolested copper at a fair price BUY it.

The mintage on this one is less than Six Million as opposed to the 1935 U.S. Dime with combined mintage of appx. Seventy Five Million.


These are just upgrades for my Dansco type set. image

    Very nice 10c, Mark. I didn't realize those Hidalgo's had a key date. I own a couple and will have to check tonight.

    I also think that some of the older Mexican coins have been overlooked, therefore I also have a growing Mexican collection.
    Those of yours are great!

    I like the 10 Centavos... great design. Yours is very attractive. Even those this is a short series, it is not all that easy to find them all looking like this

    My Danco Album is Old... goes through the 1968 time frame... If I recall correct, there is a spot for the 1968 Olympic 25 pesos... what I have assembled has some unc coins... but not all
