INTRODUCTION In the past five years the rconomic world has seen a tremendous upheaval in its thinking. particularly 10 traditional laws. The world has witnesud massive currency devaluations which have resulted in almost a hyper inflation situation in most civilized countries of the world. We have secn in the United Slates alone, three devaluatlons, which in the Author's opinion have resulted in a realistic 20% inflationary cycle annually in the American Economy since 197Z. This large Inflationary cycle, of course, has caused the Amer;can dollar to plummet in value, while on the other hand causing virtually every as~t of the economy from foo.h. goods and ~rvice, 10 gold to dr..matically rise in price. One must ask how this pertains 10 the Numismatic Industry and further yet the Mexican Coin Market in general. As mentioned above the economy hils come under great duress in the past thr~ years causing large increases in prices in virtually every known area. The field of Numismatics has, of course, not been left out. In fact according to the famous financial newspaper "Barrons" dated January 15, 1973 Numismatics had the largest percentage of increase (225%) in value and return on money invested over every other type of investment known. This tremendous upsurge was primarily caused by cheapened currencies and for the most part people hedging against inflation. To my knowledge, I cannot think of one general area of Numismatics which has not seen a tremendous growth or rise in value since August of 1970. In fact some specific areas of Numismatics have seen their coinage increase several hundred, if not several thousand, percentage points in the past five years. The Mexican Coin field is induded among these groups. The Author rl!'albed that a standard reference catalog had not been published since 1971 (prices, particularly had becoml!' obsolete), and after speaking and receiving encouragement from several well knOwn dealers and collectors decided to embark upon the task of writing a comprehensive book on the coinage of Mexico.
I
Aftt'r long: and careful consideration I felt that the best way in which to accomplish this task was to break this book into the three primary collecting: interests in Mexico (Modern Mvdcan Coins 1905 to date, The Republic and Revolutionary Coins of Mexico and finally Colonial Coins of Mexico). The reason this was done was two fold-first of all by doing the book in thret' volumes more precise information could be introduced into each volume and when researching this book the Author could draw upon spedalists in each area. The second reason i$ one of simplicity alone, dealing with such areas as easy accessibility, location of individual coin information, readability and hopefully for the reader a better understanding of nch individual area of Mexican Numismatics. The Author suggl!'sts before one starts pricing and attributing coins, that the reader should without question, read each section of the basic information and introduction guide pertaining to grading. pricing, I!'tc., as many radical changes and discoveries hilvl!' been made sincl!' the last standard reference book on Mexican coins was published and I feel that it is pertinl!'nt to you, as a reader, to understand the many different basic guides that were used in preparing this comprehensive catalog for you.
GRADING Thl!' grading of coins since the beginning of Numismatics has always been a u.ther inconsistent process among fellow Numismatists. Reasons for this are nUml!'rOUS, ranging from ignorance on the part of either the buyer or selll!'r to differl!'nt grading standards from country to country. As an example, for many years thl!' European grading system was considered a more stringent systl!'m than its American counterparts. An extremely fine specimen of a coin graded in Creat Britain may rate as an uncirculated specimen in the United States. The grading of the coinage of the United States has seen a good deal of improvement within the past three years. This improvement in grading consistency by both deall!'r and collector alih was chiefly brought about by the publication, PHOTOGRADE by BoWl!'rs and Ruddy C ..lleries of Los Angeles. This excl!'llenl book on grading used the method of prl!'SCnting all grades and denominations of the coinage of the United Statl!'s through the use of outstanding coin photography. Coupled along with Photograde, the American Numismatist took notice of mass public service messages by various numismatic

publications and authors explaining grading standards. Also they were advised to beware of such unprofessional practices by certain dealers of pseudo upgrading coins through the use of such methods as "whiuing" coins (the use of a wirebrush to shine or ]XIlish a coin to make it appear uncirculated). Unfortunately, unlike American coinage there has never been a standard reference work on the grading of the coinage of ¥exico, however on the other hand, Mexican Numismatics has not had nearly the grading problems that the American Numismatist has had. I have not gone into great detail in interpreting the grades be'low ext!emely fine because the largest increas~ in values and strictest grade Jefinilion must take place above this grade. Many people will be shocked at some of the evaluations placed on certain issu~ in 8. U. There is, of cour~, good reason behind these large jumps. First of all, rarity plays the key factor in the pricing. Secondly, there has not been a standard catalog accurately showing true price evaluations in the grade of B. U. in many years and further demand for true 8. U. coins is at a record high and still ad~·ancing. In ccrtain instances, you the reader, may notice price declines. Th~ price declines may be due to any number of factors ranging from hoards being uncovered, to a certain coin being overrated, in its particular grade, or to its past value posted by various sources.
Silver Coinage- Fully struck pieces with total mint luster ranging from dull grays to various brilliant hues. Your large silver coins will contain an average amount of bag marks and any v;cessive or large "bagging" will c.ause value of the coin to deteriorate. All uncirculated coinage that is weak struck, having planchtt defects or other "problems" will fall oul of the uncin:ulated price catagory, allhough technically being uncirculated. BRILUANT UNCIRCULATED (8U) Coins be'ing in mint state grade (MS 6SIMS70). Coins having brilliant or choice original mini Juster. Fully struck specimens with no degrading factors, commonly referred to as choice Brilliant Uncirculated coins. Gem B. U. specimens should realize above catalog pnces. PRICING
Please pay particular attention to my definition of the grades of Uncirculated and Brilliant Uncirculated as these grades are used extensively throughout the book. GOOD (G)
The coins will be readily identifiable as to their date, denomination and dcsign. The coin will have full rims on both obverse and reverse.
VERY GOOD (VG)
Coin will show considerable wear with all medium and high points of the coin being worn. General designs on the coin will be sharp.
FINE (F)
Sharp, clear rims on both the obverse and the reverse of the coin. There will be roughly SO% detail on the inside of the basic design on the coin.
VERY fiNE (VF)
Same grading standards as Fine. However, the coin will exhibit ilppro:o;imately 7S% of interior detail of bilsic d~ign on the coin and only high ]XIints of the coin show considerable wear.
EXTREMELY FlNE (Xf) (Ef)
Full sharp detail in the entirety of the coin. Wear possible only at the v;treme high points of the coin. In some caSfi minor amount of original mint Juster will be in evidence.
ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (AU)
A coin which has seen virtually no circulation. The coin is fully struck with considerable mint luster left (normally over 30%). As a general rule of thumb, when using the price guide deduct a figure of 20% (rom the uncirculated grade to determine price of A. U. coins.
UNCIRCULATED (UNC)
This catagory is being broken into two sub-catagories: copper coinage and silver coinage.
Copper Coinage- Coins which are fully struck and have a minimum of SO% mint Juster. As a spccial note when copper coins are found brown, chocolate uncirculilted (common definition) or with full mint red, however contains large amounts of carbon, use price data for coins in A. U. grade-- The average copper or bronze uncirculated specimen used in this catalog will have red-brown hue with Virtually no carbon s]XIts.

The prices set in this catalog were probably the single, most difficult area to research and determine. The basic aim in pricing the coinage contained in these pages was to give an accurate determination of value, however does one give a retail value on the coins or does one give the wholesale value of coins? When considering these two points, I found both had major disadvantages, therefore I decided upon a third approach to the subject. The Author after consultation with several factions of the coin business from associations to the dealer and collector decided that the best method would be to give, as of this writing, a basic evaluation upon the coins using records obtained through personal transactions, actual rarity and number of specimens known. latest auction sales, known recent sales by other parties, and finally in cases where there was considerable question as 10 current market evaluation, the use of current dealer buy prices and current dealer asking prices and using a basic compromised price. Since a large amount of the prices were obtained from auction and retail sales to the collector, one must be'ar in mind that dealers in quite a few cases will e:o;pect a reasonable percentage off catalog value when purchasing coins, however exceptionally rue or superb gem coins should command c.atalog prices or higher. You will find in many cases that when checking the grades of Uncirculated and Brilliant Uncirculated there will be considerable pricing difference, with even more drastic pricing differences for circulating gr.ades. I would seriously suggest that one pay very close attention to my definition of Brilliant Uncirculated under the grading section. Many coins have shown tremendous increase in the 8. U. grllde and will catalog at seemingly high pric~. The reason Ihese coins are priced in this fashion is the simple fact that th~ are rare in B. U. As a prime example of this is Ihe 1929 Two Centavo. I have placed a value on Extra Fine at 550.00, whereas in Brillianl Uncirculated a value of S450.00 was used for the simple reason that in twelve years of Mexican coin studies I know of only five specimens of B. U. in existence. I know many people will take advantage of the B. U. grade as far as the pricing of certain coins go. However I cannot stress enough careful consideration when using the grading system contained in this volume.

INFORMATION GUIDE TO THE MODERN COINAGE OF MEXICO (1905·1975) The Coinage of the Modern Mexican era had its mass introduction in the year 1905. The Mexican government had planned for many years to consolidate all of its minting facilities under one roof in Mexico City. however due to outstanding contract agreements with the v.. rious branch mints in Mexico they were unable to make their move until the year 1905 when all of the contracts had expired. The reasons for the Mexican government wishing to consolidate are numerous. Mexico was a rapidly expanding and developing country which needed a standard form of coinage for both domestic and international trade. At this time their republic coinage was considered awkward to exchange and handle, expenses could be reduced by consolidating, they could introduce a more uniform system of coinage through monetary reform, and in general produce higher efficiency and quality in every phase of the minting process. Among the most noticeable changes in the modern Mexican coins compared to their republic counterparts are that the Mexican One Centavo and the Gold coinage was reduced in size for ease in handling and with the reduction in size less costly in production. Gold content of the gold coinage however, was raised to 900 fine to conform with most other countries' gold coinage standards. The Mexican Five Centavo was converted from silver to pure nickel and Mexico's other silver coinage was reduced in fineness from .90Z7 to 800 fine to try to stop the hoarding of silver because of peso devaluations and to keep these silver coins in circulation. Unfortunately Mexico has witnessed almost every year a continuing devaluation cycle and as almost every country in the world has done, they have had to reduce silver content in coins continuously over the years, and finally having to convert to Copper-Nickel. By using the peso devaluation ch..rt in this book the reader can see where major peso devaluations took place and at the same lime using a cross reference technique find that within the same basic time sphere where silver contents were lowered in Mexico's coinage. In the following pages [ have given a basic information guide on the coins of Modern Mexico. ONE CENTAVO TYPE ONE 1905·1915 The Mexican equivalent to the American penny was 50 similar in weight and size that returning tourists found that they could be used in the United States in parking meters and gumball machines. During its 45 year lifetime there were a couple of minor alloy changes and of course the reduced si~e issue of 1915 which is described elsewhere. The large mintage of the 1906 coin includes 50 million pieces which were struck III Birmingham, England during 1906 and 1907 with the 1906 date. Numerous die varieties exist, with most varieties occurring in the size and spacing of the numbers in the date. ONE CENTAVO TYPE TWO (reduced size) 1915
l
ONE CENTAVO TYPE THREE 1916-1949 The year 1916 saw the resumption of the bronze type (entavo similar to the type one centavo, type onc, 1905-1915. The type three one centavo continued in production until the year 1949 when a major peso devaluation was instrumental in its demise. ONE CENTAVO TYPE FOUR 1950·1973 In 1950, a new one centavo was introduced into the Mexican economy, This new one centavo was considerably smaller in comparison to its predecessor because of the peso devaluation of 1949. The reduction in size waS of course an economical move. The type four one centavo proved to be very inefficient in day to day monetary transactions. The only purpose these coins served was in financial institutions which needed exact figures (including the number of one centavos) to balance their accounts or books and in cases where exact change was needed. In 1973 the type four one cenlavo was discontinued for the reason of being impractical. TWO CENTAVO TYPE ONE 1905-1906 Introduced into the new coinage acts of 1905 was a bronze two centavo nicknamed the "Mongram two centavo" because of its design. The Mexican government had contracted with various governments to have some of Mexico's coinage struck at foreign mints, whenever they became overburdened. The Birmingham mint of England struck apprOXimately 5,000,000 of these two centavos dated 1906 for Mexico. I am in agreement with Mr. Richard A. Long who has expressed the opinion that because of the wide and narrow spacing of the 1906 date there exists a possibility that the widely spaced dates were struck in England while the narrow spaced dates were struck in Mexico or vice versa. TWO CENTAVO TYPE TWO (reduced size) 1915 When Carran~a set up a new capital in Veracruz during the revolution the forces of Zapata already occupied Mexico City. In June of 1915 Zapata published a decree authorizing the coinage of one and two centavos coins of identical design but of a reduced size and exactly half the weight of the previous issues. The coins were struck only in July, hence the low mintages. These coins are not listed with the other revolutionary coinage because they were struck at the Mexico City mint and were listed in the official mint report. Because of their smaller size and because they were declared illegal by the Constilucionalistas they were never widely accepted and did not circulate for long. The reason for the reduced size was probably partially due to the increased need for copper during the revolution, but was probably more simply that the Zapatistas wanted to strike coins that could be easily distinguished from those already in circulation. TWO CENTAVO TYPE THREE 1920-1941 The year Ino saw the resumption of the bronze two centavo similar to the type one, two centavo 1905-1906. Due to their unpopularity and awkwardness, production of these coins were stopped in 1941, With the exception of the year 1939 and 1941, which were small hoard years in Brilliant Uncirculated. All of these coins in uncirculated are scarce due to most of them being widely circulated, because at the time there seemed nO reason to save them, A special notation the Author wishes to make in reference to rarieties is that in his opinion the 1922 two centavo is a rarer coin than the 1931 five centavo with the possible exception of the grade of bri11iant uncirculated. I have seen or heard about three times as many 1931 five centavos compared to the 19ZZ two centavo particularly in the grade of fine to extra fine.

The Mexican five cenlavo in 1905 was converted to a pure nickel design from its smaller, republic silver brother. The decision on the part of the Mexican government to

FIVE CENTAVO TYPE ONE 1905-1914
convert from a silver five centavo to a nickel five centavo was a smart economical move, however the nickel five centavo proved to be not as durable as its silver counterpart and was replaced after only nine years of circulation. This coin is one of the most difficult coins of the modern issues to locate in high grade because of its quick destruction as it was circulated. FIVE CENTAVO TYPE TWO 1914-1935 In 1914 the new, large bronze five centavo was introduced and took over the role of the five centavo from the earlier pure nickel variety. This coin met with some success as it circulated from 1914 to 1935. It wu more durable and had economic advantages over its earlier nickel type. All of these coins range from semi-scarce to extremely rare in brilliant uncirculated because they saw wide circulation and were not hoarded. The 1931 five centavo has always been an interesting subject to me in respect that this coin was not discovered until the late 1950's or early 1960's. In 1963 Mr. Neil S. Utberg reported that to his knowledge only three specimens were in existence, however after many years of r~"rch and examination I can report now that there s«ms to be between 40-75 genuine specimens in existence and to my personal knowledge at least one brilliant uncirculatd coin. I still wonder today why this coin did not turn up publicly before the early 1960's and what its true minting history was. FIVE CENTAVO TYPE THREE 1936-1942 In 1936 a five centavo was issued bearing a new design and alloy. The reverse of the coin showed the new hook nKk eagle design. The 1938 type three five centavo is the key coin to this series and is relatively rare in brilliant uncirculated. FIVE CENTAVO TYPE fOUR 1942-1955 . This ,:,ew type of bronze five centavo is broken into two different minting periods. The f,rst bemg from 1942 through 1946 and second period being from 1951 through 1955 with only slight alloy changes taking place. . Th.is new type of bronze five centavo was the first coin of Mexico to depict a woman on ltS comage. losefa Ortiz de Dominguez was honored for her patriotic role during Mexico's battle for independence.
on its reverse. As of this date no key date coin has emerged from this series and it is still in production. TEN CENTAVO TYPE ONE 1905-1914 The new ten centavos of 1905 were most notable for their reduced from .9027 fine to .800 fine .Numerous varieties exist in this suil'S and it most widely collected ieries of modern Mexico. Silver melting of these coins toll over the years, due to their high silver content and the effects of inflation, lated specimens are scarce.
silver content is one of the has taken its thus uncircu-
TEN CENTAVO TYPE TWO 1919 The type two ten centavo is very similar in design to the type one ten centavo with the exception of its being much smaller, although the same alloys were retained. The rising silver prices and the speculators that go with them at the end of World War I forced the Mexican government to reduce the amount of silver in its ten centavos to the point where the type two was created. Above the grade of extremly fine this is a very diffi01It coin to locate and in brilliant undrculated is becoming an extremely sought after coin. TEN CENTAVO TYPE THREE 19J9-1935 COntinued rising silver pesos in 1919 spelled the de..th temporarily of the Mexican silver ten centavo. At this time practically all of the Mexican silver ten centav05 had been hoarded or removed from circulation forcing the Mexican government to convert its ten centava production to copper coinage. This new copper ten centavo was of the same monogram design as that of the one, two, five and twenly centavo bronu design of the same time period. Bronze ten centavos were produced from 1919 to 1921 and then again in 1935. The reason for converting back again to the bronze ten centavo in 1935 was that silver prices once again rose rapidly and it became unfeasible for a standard silver ten centavo to remain in existence. All of these coins saw very wide circulation and the bronze ten centavos dated from 1919 to 1921 are Virtually impossible to find these days in brillianl uncirculated and in the Author's opinion are true modern Mexican rarieties. TEN CENTAVO TYPE FOUR 1925-1935
FIVE CENTAVO TYPE FIVE 1950 In 1950, after a four year absence of five centavos being struck a new type of five ce: tavo was minted in a white metal, copper nickel alloy. Due to its similarity to the 1950 Mexican twenty five centavo frequent COnfusion in exchange was responsible for the fact that this particular five centavo proved to be very unpopular. In Dec.ember of 1950 the Mexican government suspended minting of this coin and started recallmg the remaining coins with the result that a large majority of this one year type coin found the melting pot. FIVE CENTAVO TYPE SIX 19.54-1969 A new brass five centavo was iniToduced in 1954. The Mexican government, however, found that introduction of this coin presented a temporarily embarrassing situation because they were minted without proper legislation. To remedy this, they hastily called in all of the small brass 1954 five centavos and replaced them with the large bronze type four five centavos. This actiOn resulted in the 1954 (with and without dot) small, brass f~ve centavo becoming a modern Mexican key coin. From 1955 to 1969 the remaining type six £'ve centavos were struck without incidence.
In 1925, after a lapse of four years, the Mexican mint decided to try once again m producing another silver ten centavo. Although reduced in silver conlent and weight, this was to berged with lreason and conspir,1Cy against thc Spaniards ;md w"s enc\ltcd by h,lnging at lhe "!le of Iwenty-nine.

1905-1914
En 1905 el cinco cenlavos mexicano fue canvertido en un disefio de niquel puro de su pequei'io hermano de plata en la republica. La decision en parte del gohierno mexicano de converllrlo de plala a niquel, cl cinco cenlavo, fue un cambio inteligcnle y economlco, aun que cl cinco centavo de niquel, no fue tan durable como su contemporaneo de plata y fue reemplando despues de solamenle nueve anos en circulacion. ESla moneda es una de las mas dificHes de las modernas de localizar en grados altos, dada su destruC"cion por el hecho de su circulacion.

CINCO CENTAVOS TIPO CINCO 1950 En 1950, despues de cuatro alios de ausencia de la denominacion cinco centavos, un nuevo tipo de cinco centavos fue acunado, en metal blanco - 0 sea metal cobre, niquel - a esle tipa de metal le lIamamos comunmenle coperniquel. Dado el heeho a la similaridad con I!'I veinticinco centaves mexicanos dl!' 1950, estuvo creando mucha confucion en el inlercambio, asi que por esta rawn, no ful!' muy popular este dnco centavos. En Diciembre de el ano 1950 el gobierno mexicano suspendio el acufiamienlo de I!'sta moneda y empew a mandar pedir 1'1 rl!'sto de ellas, con 1'1 resultado subsiguiente de quI!' muchas de eslas encontraron el caldero para fundir. CINCO CENTA VOS TIPO SEIS
1954-1969
Esle nuevo cinco cenlavos de cobre fue presenlado en 1954, por 1'1 hecho de no tener la authori.l:acion Iegislaliva r(!spectiva, de cl gobierno mexicano, la casa de moneda se hallo en una situacion un poco (!mbarawza. Tratando de remediar esta siluaci6n reliraron Inmediatamenle lodos 105 cinco centavos pequenos de cobre y los reemplazaron con uno mas grande de cohre. Esta accion resulto que tn 1954 (con punto y sin punlo) 1'1 pequei'io cinco ctnlavos de cobre, se convirtlo en una moneda l1ave mexicana. De 1955 a 1969, los subsiguienles lipo seis, cinco cenlavos, fueron acunados sin incidente. CINCO CENTA VOS TlPO SIETE
1971 A FECHA
En 1911 1'1 lipa seis de cohre cinco cenlavos fue convertido a un tipo nuevo. Esta nueva moneda cs considerablemente mas chica que la anterior y tambien tiene una aguila mas "Estilizada" en 1'1 reverso. Hasta la fecha no ha habido ninguna moneda lIave en esla serie y continua hasta la fecha en produccion.

DlEZ CENTAVOS TlPO UNO
1905-1914
El diez cenlavos nuevo de 1905, fue mas notable por su contenido de plata reducido de .9027 fino a .800 fino. Existen numerosas variedades en eSla serie y es una de 1.15 series mas eXlensamente col«cionadas de Mbico moderno. Estas monedas han sido derrilidas durante los anos, dado, el gran conlenido de plata y los ef«los de inflacion en la economia. DlEZ CENTAVO TlPO DOS
1919
Esle lipo dos de diu cenlavos, es muy similar en diseno :l el tipo uno, con la unica diferencia de su pequenez, ya que los mismos melales fueron retenidos. La alza de los predos de plala y la especulacion que 'la con ella, al final de la primera guerra mundial, foru. a el gobierno mexicano a reducir la cantidad de plala en sus diu centavos a un punto tal, que el tipo dos fue creado. Arriba de el grado extremo fino, es una moneda muy diHcil de encontrar y en brillanle sin circular es buscada mucho. DIEZ CENTAVOS TIPO TilES
1919-193-'
la continua alz", de la plata l:'n 1919, Sl:'1l6 temporalmente la muerle de et diez centavos de piala. En este tiempo, practicamente todos los diez centavos Mexicanos fueron atesorados 0 rl:'movidos de circulacion, forzando a el gobierno mexicano convertir su diu cenlavos de plala a cobre. Este nuevo, diez centavos, de cobre, tenia el mismo diseno monograma como el uno, dos, cinco, y veinte cenlavos de bronze, con el disei'io sobre el mismo periodo. El diez cenlavo de bronze fue producido de 1919 a 1921 y despuk otra vu en 1935. La rawn de converlirle en bronze olra vu en 1935 fue que los pr«ios de la plala empezaron a subir otra vez y era inc05teable que una moneda de diez (enld una, en cualquier cantidad, se hizo dificil de localizar en comparaeion de anos pasados. Par el tiempo, los precios se han mantenido eslables en las Ires variedades y aun que la demanda Japonesa a decaido. la demanda par otros lados manliene e51e mercado activo. ACUNAMIENTOS DE ORO
Como parte de la Reforma Mondaria en 1905, Mexico, hizo un emision de cinco y diez pesos ora con la cara de Hidalgo (la primera moneda estandard con cl retrato de un patriota) la razen basica por la acunacion de monedas en oro en este tiempo fue para que circularan par cl peso de plata y al mismo tiempo, respaldar su moneda con oro y asi crear una base mas fuerte para el peso mexicano en cl mercado exterior. Uno notan\. que por muchos anos, la producd6n de oro en Mexico circulaba mas ampliamente durante las diferenles crisis de la plata. Coma ejemplo el eirculo inflacionario de 1917-1920, la plata reaceione subiendo a una altura de $1.37 la onza en 105 cambios especulalivos despues de la primera guerra mundia!. La gente de Mexico alesoro cantidades lremenda5 de monedas en pia ta, por la desconfianza que le tenian a el dinero de papeL Duranle este periodo, Mexico acuno nuevas monedas de dos, y medio y veinte pesos oro, para que la economia pudiHa continuar. Despues de la fiebre especulaliva de esta era termino en 1921, Mexico para la produccion de loda su moneda estandard y convirlio todas sus facilidades de acunacion a cl famoso cenlenario como comunmenle se le dice a el eincuenta pesos de oro. El gobierno en realidad, no necesHaba acunar e5ta moneda para las lransaceiones diarias, pero, la acuno simplemente con el proposito de cambio en lransacciones grandes y para mantener el peso en una base firme y apayado con ora. En 1931, la produccien fue parada en toda, las moned"s de ora, par la depresion mundiaL La producdon fue resumida en 1943, en la denominaeion cincuenta pesos y en el siguienle afio el dos y dos y medio tambien fueron anadidos. La produecion fue nuevamen le parada en 1947 en el cincuenla pesos y en 1948 en el dos y dos y media pesos de ora, sin embargo, desde 1949 todas estas ultimas monedas han sido reacun;>das (ver se((ion sabre reacuiiaeion) en diferentes c... nlidades. El dos pesos de 1948, liene una aCllnacion de 45,000 segun el oficio de la Casa de Moneda, pero, no hay, que se sepa hasta ahora, especies genuinas en exlstencia. Evidentemente estas monedas fueron derrilidas en la Casa de Moneda, anles de ser liberadas. En 1955, un cinco pesos ora fue aeuiiado y en 1959 un diez y veinte peso ora fueron acuiiados. Todas eslas tres monedas han sido reacuiiadas y lodavia continuan haciendolas.

LA PREGUNTA SOBRE REACUNACION
Muchas preguntas se han hecho en los ullin105 anos, sabre la reacunadon de monedas mexicanas de ora. De esta~ preguntas, han venido muchos rumores, males inlerpretadones y medias verdades, en 10 que concieIne a la poBza de el gobierno mexicano sabre reacunacion eslo a lenido un efecto perjudicial en dertas emisiones en la serie de ora de Mexico. Despues de ciertas discretas preguntas personales y informacion interna, que se me ha proporcionado ami, espero que al lerminar este articulo, adare todas las malas interpretaciones que has salido por [a reacunacion mexicana. En este momenlo, [as unicas monedas que la Casa de Moneda en Mexico esta reacunando son el dos pesos 1945, dos y medio 1945, cinco pesos 1955, diez peso 1959, y el eincuenta pesos 1947, lodas estas en oro nalura/menle. l'or el momento, niguna otra moneda de ora esta reacunandose con excepci6n de las ya mencionadas. Tambien cs interesante anotar que dado las limitaciones en liempo y equipo, [as monedas ya mencionadas, no pueden ser acunadas simultaneamente. Come ejemplo, la Casa de Moneda de Mexico lendria que acunar monedas de cincuenta pesos 1947 oro, por tres meses y despues converlir su equipo para acunar monedas de dos peso si hay ordenes atrasades de ellas 0 si existiese otra rawn para acunarlas. Un ejemplo primordial de esto fue durante cl mes de Enero y Febrero, habia una escases exlrema en el dos pesos oro y una abundancia de cincuenta pesos sobre el mercado de oro, El pordenlo sabre peso ora en cl dos pe;;os empezo a subir dado el estado en que estaba el mercado. En cl mes de MaTZO evidentemente la produccion habia sido resumida, ya que cantidades fueron disponibles, una vez mas, en las fronleras. La Casa de Moneda de Mexico, en los ultimos anos, ha reacuiiado las siguientes monedas, con una base extremamente limitada. En el conocimienlO del autor, estas monedas no se han reacunado durante 105 ultimos Ires aiios con la posible exepcion de el dos y dos y media oro de 1944. 1944 Dos Pesos 1944 Dos y Media Pesos 1943 Oncuenla Pesos Aproximadamenle 10,000 reacuiiados 1944 Oncuenta Pesos 1945 Cincuenta l'esos 1946 Cincuenta Pesos Sabre la creeneia de mucha genie, ninguna de las primeras fechas de el oro mexicano se han reacuiiado, esto induye todas las denominaei6nes en cl ora mexicano (dos al cincuenta pesos) fechados anles de 1931. De acuerdo a una conversaeion reeiente que yo tuve con un ofidal de la Casa de Moneda, todos 105 troqueles de las series ani cs rnencionadas han sido destruidos y el conflrme mi creenela sabre la p6liza de no reacunar ninguna de las primeras fechas mexicanas de oro. Sabre las medallas conmomerativas de Mexico en oro, la Casa de Moneda liene 10davia en su posesien los troqucles originales de aproximadamenle 90% de la serie conmomerativa de oro fechadas antes de 1950. Esto fue anolado par observaden personal par el aulor y cl Senor Dick Parker de Albllquerque, Nuevo Mexico, cuando estaban visitando la Casa de Monedas en Marzo de 1974, Coma escribiamos esle calologo, una i!Cumu[acion a nuestro parecer demasiado grande de dos y media 1944 pesos oro, (aproximadamenle 700 piezas) aparecieron en el mercado. Dado el tamai'io de esta acumulacion, la pregunta de una redente reacuiiaeion nos viene a l~ menle, E[ valor en estas piezas se cayo de aproximadamente $65.00 por moneda a $25.00 par moneda. Una cosa debemos de tomar en eonsideracion, sobre la subita aparicion en cl mercado de esle gran numero de dos y media pesos fechados 1944 de oro, es que los oHelales en la Casa de Moneda siempre han sido muy reservados en sus acciones en relacion a ~as reacunaciones de Ias ya sabidas escasas y monedas raras de Mexico, asi que en mi opinIon, este gropo de monedas, descubierlas, son de una lemprana reacunaeion de esta moneda que fue alesorada par unas personas. ' Este grupo de aproximadamente 700 monedas, me la han ofrecido Ires individos diferentes y lambien, en loles diferentes. Despues de una investigacion mas a fondo enconlrado que son dos gr"pos diferentes 105 duenos de eslas monedas.

VARIEDADES Las variedades son las monedas aculiadas de un tipo de Iroque], de el cual un juego es diferente de los otros de el mismo tipo y fecha de esa serie. las variedades pueden distinguirse en dos dases, mayor y menor. las variedades son tal, que son facilmente distin· guibles por una Tazon obvia, tal como troquel quebrado, sobre fel:has, posicion de f«has, letras, estrellas, etc. etc. Las variedades menores pueden c1asificarse como las de arriba, pero nel:esHan una inspeccion mas meticulosa para hallar la variacion. Las variedades siempre han mantenido un lugar muy importante en la numismatica '1 como todo olro tipo de moneda, varios dentos de variedades eKisten en la moneda meKicana. Tuve la ayuda de el Sei'ior Frank Schulman de Baltimore, Maryland (pTObablemente el individo mu conocedor en la material de variedades Mhico moderno ahora) '1 hicimos una lisla de varias de las mas importantes '1 los lipos nuevos descubridos en las variedades. En esto~ Hempos, una li5:a cornp:",ta d", \'ariedades s"'ria muy improbable de juntar, la mayor r..zon es, nadie tiene una idea de cuantas realmente eKislan. Asi pues, seria injuslo tralar de adivinar los preeios de eslas monedas. Esperamos que en 105 siguienles plOr de alios, mas informacion sera posible, para asignar la rareza a esle tipo de moneda.

Aproxlmadamenle 1'1 50% de todas las monedas de clncuenla centavos de 1908, 1916, Y 1916 que eh vislO son falsas.
El proposilo de esta secci6n, es ayudar a el numismalico promedio, 0 prim:lpianle, en l.1 detecci6n de falsificaciones de las monedas modernas de Mexico. Uno notani. que el melodo utilizado mas frecuenle es alterar la fecha de una moneda comun a la de una fecha rara de el mismo Iipo. Esto, en cierto modo es aforlunado, en 10 que respecta en condiciones normilles, una moneda con fecha alterada es mucho mas facil de deteclar que una vaclada, fundida 0 acui'iada. Cuando hay una pregunla en referencia a la autenticidad de una moneda, slempre, c1aro esla, es mejor tener una idea basica de que es 10 que tiene uno que buscar primero y segundo como encontrarlo. En monedas, las cuales sus fechas son frecuenlemente falslficadas, es mejor tener una luz fuerle y una lupa de aumenlo fuerte y bueno. Cuando usted Irabale con monedn el cual ya se sabe, alleran sus numeros, revise cUldadosamente con la ayuda de la luz y su lupa, los numeros el cual usted liene duda. Despacio y cuidadosamente, Irale de enrontrar signo~ de exeso de melal 0 cualquier otro material alrededor del numero. Revise cuidadosamente para ver si el metal alrededor del numero K de diferenle porosidad o color - si la moneda esta limpiada una examinadon mas minuci05a de la fecha en duda es neeesaria. Revise uniformldad de la fecha y compare individualmente los numeros los cuales Ilenen que ser Idenlic05 de tamano. En referenda a monedas fundidas 0 acunadones falsificadas, la persona examinando las monedas debe de buscar senas de vadado (fundido). globitos oh detalles pobres en el melal de la moneda. Usualmenle eslos pe<jueftos hoyilos 0 burbujas estaran en el area alrededor de las Ktrellas, dentro del canlo 0 gr!fila de la moned",. Si su moneda ensena alguna de Ktas peculariedades, 10 mas seguro K que usled tiene una moneda mal",. Generalmente lineas de presion 0 maquilacion en un", moneda, le dan a uno indicilcion sobre 51 la moned", K genuina 0 no. porque yil iI sido posible, gradas a la expancion y nuev", tecno!ogl", de nuestro n",m",do amigo "El Falsificildor'" de incluir es.iIIS lineas en lu monedas blsifi",dils mas sofisticildas. Un modo mas sencillo de ver las lineas de maquilacion genuinas sobre las falsas K viendolas sobre la luz, es decir, las lineas genuinas refle]an luz en comparadon de las falsas que no reflejan luz en ellas. Cerrando como regia gener",l, slempre es bueno sabre con quien se hace negocio porque un comerciante con inlegridad y conocimienlo K la mejor proleccion que usted pUede lener sobre monedas fillsas y cuando las compre, vealas bien y largo y sobre lodo sus especies genuinas de cerea, para que usled aprenda y conozca las caracleristicas especiales de su moneda y asi de eR modo en 1'1 futuro In f",lsas seran identificilbles mils facilmente por las diferentes carilcleristicas obvias de su moneda genu!n3.

Con algunas excepciones c:asi todas IllS monedas mexicanQ!; modernas no lIegan. a una categorla i1lta que justifique falsific:arlas por la via mas sofisticada, lal como eroSIOn de fuego oh lecnica de duplicadon de Iroquel. Asi que por la mayor pariI' u.no pued-e Kperar encontrar copias fundidas 0 vaciadas a presi6n centrifuego 0 con alteraclon de fechas. la ultima es usualmeote deleclable con un examinadon cerca y cuidadosa en luz fuerle y un lente 20X, Aun que, con materiales moldeados y bien granuladQ!; una buena presion centrifugal, la moneda fundida puede ser muy dific:il de detectar en inspecdon visual. Pruebas lales coma "sentir la moneda y oir su sonido" raramente prueban algo. Generalmenle el colecdonisla "promedlo" 0 sea 1'1 que tiene paco liempo en este hobby no tienen el ent~e~il; mlenlo 0 la Instrumentacion para c:onducir buenos exprlmentos sobre grav~ad esp~~CJf.JCa, peso y pruebas de medidas, aun que eslas no son particul~r?,ente 0 necesa.namenle mdlcallvas en el caso de Kpedes ya blen usadas 0 en la compos'Slon de toleranCla de metillK ya manufacturados. Sujetar una moneda a un grupo de expertos que liene~ loda las inslrumentaci~n y el conodmienlO necesario, es usualmente muy C:05loso, demas,ado tardoso y consum,dor de tiempo para el colleccionisla de monedas. Uno se pregunla entonces, ,Que olros metodos hay? Como fotografo profesional, yo eh fotografiado monedas por muchos, muchos anos y eh aprendido uno cuanlos procedimienlS que podrlan ser estudiados y exprimenlados por "Mecanicos de Cocina". Ejemplo - En monedas de cobre 0 plata busque per "Hoyitos" en la superfide de la moneda y examinel! en magnlficadon alta. Si tal hoyo cs causado por corrosion sera aparenle que el hoyo curvee como una "V" hada abajo de la suferficle de u.n modo conico, formandose paredes hacia 10 delgado. SI las paredes tlenen un curvatura ~acl.a afuera un globo de presi6n cenlrifugal en fundici6n se podra sospechar. (sla es una Indlcacion de posible falsificacion. EJEMPLO: E5 bien conocido que la cantidad de absorbacion de calor en cualquier forma melalica es delerminada por su densidad y porasidad. As! que ohviamente, cuai"ldo se lee la temperatura de calor, las difercncias absorbentes de una moneda acuilada y fundida seran hastanle indicalivas. (una moneda fundida marcanl una temperatura bastanle mas .,Ita. Asi pues, probando un especle genuina y olr/l especie con duda, una exploraci6n de diferencias de calor nos dara una contestacion definiliva. Una prueba coma lal. que no es danina ni destructible, requiere los siguienles materiales, una lampara de 100 walls suspendida por un conduclor sin reflector, un pedazo de alambre de alambrera posesi~nada y montada aproximadamente 4 pulgadas abajo d~l cenlro d~ luz, 2 va~os de plashco 0 de vidrio de 2 pulgadas de diametro, (varos de lalea pequenos estan blen) y un termometro de vidrio tipo largo. Uene los rec!pienles con I onza de agua a 680 gr. F.H. ponga 71
FlCURAS HISTORICAS DE ME:kICO

Si uno tiene dedos sensihles a cl calor, la diferenda puede ser aparenle sin los redpienles ni el termometro.
CUAUTHEMOC Acendio a el trono de el imperio azteca en 1521, despues de la muerle de su hermano Cuitalquac. Cuauthemoc fue el ultimo de los empcradorcs aztecas, ya que en Agosdo de 1521 Hernando Cortez capturo Tenochtitlan (la Cuidad de Mexico) despul.'S de cuatro meses de historica y valiente defensa de la capital azleca Cuaulhemoc fue torturado por los Espanoles para forzarlo a revelar, donde se localizaba el legendario tesoro azteca, pero, despues de dias de tortura y quema de 105 pies, fue soltado despuC5 de rehusar reveIar su cono* dmiento de 1'110. Cuauthemoc siempre a sido una figura muy popular y bien pensada historic:amente en Mexico ya que varias monedlls han sido disefiadas y nombradas para el. La mas notable de ellas es el cinco peso de plata acui\ad.t en 1947 y 194&.

MONEDAS MUESTRAS DE MEXICO MODE~O TOOas I..s monedas muestras de Mexico son muy raras y hay por el momento muy poco historia actual en ellas y en donde se encuentran. Yo piensO que en un futuro muy cerc..no. cualquier mUl!'Stra rtconocida de Mexico que sea ofrecida en el mO!'rcado, se daran precios records en ellas. En I!'I siguiO!'nle guia de precios yo eh usado solamente los grados de extra fino y brillanle sin circular (muchas con aparencia de espejo) porque normalmente estas son las dos categorias. en donde Iils muestras son halladas. En referencia a sus preci6s, yo eh usado precios de compra por nuestra firma actuales, por estas monedas y ventas privadas durante 105 ultimos doce meses.

SILVER VALUES Throughout its history, silver has played a very Important role In the economy of Mexico. Being Ihe world's largest producer of silver, Mexico had used this metal as ils chid backing of its currency unlil 1905. When one studies the history of Mexico it becomes evident that generally their economy was at its best during periods of high silver values. During this century as the price of silver continued a basic climb ever upward, Mexico, like other countries of the world, was forced to reduce in composition and weighl the amount of silver in its coins with the most drastic changes occuring during temporarily record high silver prices (e:umple 1919) and massive pe$O devaluations (example 1949).
MINT ERRORS Mint errors of ''''1y country are /In interesting subject. The coinage of Mexico, of cour~ has had its share of mistakes, however at this time there are few collections of them known. The Mexico City mini in modern limes has shown /I high quality control system, whereby very few mint errors have escaped into circulation.
Silver has reached such high prices within the past two years that Mexico has had to convert to copper nickel and bronze coinage solely. In the follOWing pages we have listed silver contents for Mexico's 20th Century coins. Because of the current high price levels of silver, the silver con lent of a gr('at deal of Mexico's past silver coinage far e:o;ceeds their face value or numismatic value, particularly in circulated grades. I have list('d below the most frequently melted coins by refineries for their silver content. All of these coins have been melted in tremendous quanlilies. One must tak~ inlo consideration that recognized rarities and normally brilliant uncireulated specimens (in recent years) are not being melted.
On a recent lour of the mint, we gazed at a bin of five centavo pieces in which every COin was an error of some type. They included multiple strikes, off cenlers, clipped planchets, wrong metal strikes, "nd so forth. Unfortunately the officials were not giving out free samples, however it was a wonderful and educational sight to behold, We have photographed a few of the mint errors that we have run illustrate the differ('nt types that we hav(' handled.

Most frequently melted coins in circulated grades:
I have found that mint errors of Me:o;ico normally bring slightly higher prices than the same type of mint error on an American coin as fewer of the Me:o;ican error coins find lhe outside world.

ERRORES DE LA CASA DE MONEDA Errores hechos par las casas de moneda de cualquier pais wn un tema interesante. La acufiaci6n de Me:o;ico, daro esta, tien(' su parte de errores, sin embargo en este tiempo, se saben de muy pocas colecciones de ellas. la casa de moneda de Mexico en tiempos modernos ha ensenado un sistema de control alto en calidad, por medio del eua!, muy poeos errores en la casa de moneda escapan a cireuJaci6n. En una reeiente visita a la casa de moneda, miramos un arc6n de piezas de cineo centavos en el cual todas las monedas eran diferentn tipos de errores. EHos indulan, troquel multiples, fuera de centro, monedas recortadas, error de metal, metal equivocado para la moneda, etc., etc. lksafortunadamente, 105 oficiales no eslaban dando muestras gratis, aun sin embargo, fue maravillo50 y educacional para todos n05Otros. Hemos fotografiado algunos de [os errores de la casa de moneda, que hemos visto ultima_ mente para ilustrar los diferentes tipos que hemos manejado. He encontudo que los errores de la cau de moneda de Mexico nor'TIalmente traen precios un paco mas ,dlOS que los de monedas de Estados Unidos por razon de que menos errores Mexlcanos se ven en el mereado.

VA.LORES DE PtAT A Durante loda su historia, la plala ha lenido un papel muy importanle en la «onomia de Mexico, siendo el mayor productor de pia ta, Mexico utiliro su metal para dade fuena a su moneda hasta 1905. Cuando uno esludia la Historia de Mexico, es evidente que generalmente su economia esta mas fuerte durante los pl!'riodos altos de la plata. Durante este siglo, en el cual la plata a conlinuado su subida basica, Mhico, como los d('mas paises de el mundo, fue forzado a reducir la composisi6n, peso y cantidad de plala en su moneda, con los cambios mas drasticos ocurriendo durante las altas lemporales y precios record en la plala (ejemplo 1919) y las devaluaciones masivas del peso (ejemplo 1949). La plata ha a1canzado precios tan altos durante los ultimos dos anos, que Mhico ha tenido que convertir sus monedas en cobre, nique!, y bronze, solamente. En las siguientes paginas, hemos h«ho una lista de l!'1 contenido de plata en monedas de Mexico en el siglo veinte. Por la presente aba en la plata, el contenido de plata en un gran numl!'rO de monedas mexicanas, exede grandeml!'nte el valor carOl. oh el valor numismalico de ellas, particuIarmente en piezas circuladas.
