    An in-depth look at the 1943-1974 Mexican 20 Centavo

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted · Edited by MaximilianMike

    Wow

     

    What an in depth review of these 20 Centavos. I myself perhaps about two years ago switched to full time collecting of Mexican coins after 22 years of U.S. collecting. As you alluded too, it was in fact the real's and the pesos that got me into Mexican coins and I haven't really looked back. U.S. Coins in the grades that I collect are absolutely cost prohibitive now.

     

    Anyway, I have branched out to some minors, republic 5 centavos primarily from Zacatecas, Maximilian minors, and a limited few moderns. You were also right that I, as have others, have overlooked these coins. I do not get too far into the 20th century. But after reading your posting it peaked my interest.

     

    As a seperate note, the reason I do not get too far into the 20th century with respect to any circulating coinage, is because in my opinion most evolved countries began to debase and bauch there coinage around this time.

     

    But the main point of my reply is that I wanted to ask, are you a member of the U.S. Mexican Numismatic Society? They produce a quarterly journal and your write up here would probably be a welcomed article to include. Just a thought.

     

    Thanks for sharing.
