Question
What is the value of the Mexican Peso from 1935-1945? Are they worth more in silver? Also, I am just wondering what the silver ratio is year to year. I have more in the 1920's. Thanks,Lisa
Lisa:
From 1920 to 1945 the peso was minted in 72% pure silver (12 grams which was a decrease from previous years). It was reduced to 7 grams until 1950 when it was reduced to 4 grams and in 1957 it was reduced to 1.6 grams.
Due to the very common and available nature of these Pesos, they generally sell for bullion value which is about $5-$6 each.

Expertise
I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.
Experience
I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
