Frequently asked questions about the series

What is a Mexican coin series? +

It's a family of coins that share a design, denomination or theme and are collected together. The Onza Libertad runs from 1981 to today; the colonial 8 reales span nearly three centuries of the Viceroyalty. Collecting by series is the most orderly way to build a collection: you know how many pieces you're missing and which are the tough ones.

Where do I start collecting Mexican coins? +

With an affordable series you like. The 20 pesos commemoratives and the 5 pesos Bicentennial are the classic entry point because they circulated and many still turn up in change. From there you can move up to the Onza Libertad, the gold Centenario or the colonial 8 reales depending on your budget.

Which Mexican coin series is the most valuable? +

In gold, the 50-peso Centenario and the colonial escudos lead thanks to their metal content plus a collector premium. In historic silver, the colonial 8 reales in high grade reach museum-level prices. In moderns, certain low-mintage Onzas Libertad are the most sought after. Value always depends on condition, year and demand.

Where do I buy or sell coins from a series? +

The safest route is a verified numismatic shop from the Pesoteca directory, which appraises the piece on the spot, or the collector buy-and-sell forum. Before closing a deal, check the price range on the coin's page and avoid the dealer markup.

How do I know how many coins a series has? +

Each series hub shows the number of published entries and lists them year by year, with mintage and estimated value. The count appears on every card on this page. Some series keep growing, like the 20 pesos, which add a new commemorative almost every year.
