I am looking for on line dealers with strong Latin American inventory. Other than Atlas and CRO. Oh yes, and Worldnumismatics (they use to have a fantastic selection but lately have nothing). Any suggestions are appreciated.

World Numismatics does indeed have a fantastic selection, but you need to see them at a show. For some reason, they don't put most of it on the website.
Atlas and CRO, particularly the latter, don't have much numismatic Latin. They mostly carry what I euphemistically call "pretty trinkets."
Mike Dunigan has good Latin, especially gold and crowns. There are many smaller dealers, like Andy Lustig and a host of others, but most don't have commercial websites.
Much of the better stuff goes to auction no matter who has it.
Your best bet is to attend a good show and meet some of the dealers and see who has what. The USMex show in October would be a good start.
OK, then I'll go.

USMex is good. NYINC and ANA are even better.

Thanks. They use to have 400+ coins up. Today, 74... But I am aware of auctions, Mike D, etc. Just looking for actual dealers who have an on line store.
Much of the "good stuff" of any dealer never makes their website. I contend if you only buy coins off websites, you will never have a real first-class collection. You need to scour shows, have personal contacts, talk with fellow collectors & dealers, as well as look at commercial websites (dealers and auctions).
@pruebas I do all that. Just wanted to figure out about dealers that, some times, have very interesting material.
Seems more like high end type pieces than pretty trinkets. You don't need to be derogatory.
