I went to my local coin shop to buy some junk silver last week and decided to ask him what he had for mexican coins.
I wound up getting some 5 10 and 25 peso coins. Man I think I'm going to drain him of these they are beautiful. I love the look and feel of them and having the fineness stamped right on the coin is nice too. He sold them to me for melt value and some of them are uncirculated coins.
He also has a pile of canadian sterling silver coins that are from the mid 70's. I got a 5 dollar sterling silver olympic coin for melt that was sealed untouched in a plastic holder. He has some 10$ coins that look to be close to an ounce and a half .
That is my fascination as well, the mere holding and feeling money in my hand! I love the designs and history as well as knowing this is a tangible item of value.I have not gotten any Mexican coins yet but plan to if I find a deal such as yours.
Good Job!
