- In this second video in the Stacking Mexican Silver series, we'll examine the large silver coins Mexico began creating after independence from Spain in the early 19th century. We'll trace their journey through the 1800s, and we'll discuss the parallels between the United States and Mexico over this period of time. Stay tuned until the end to see a fascinating bit of trivia about Mexico, the United States, and...China!
I mention Franz Joseph of Austria and the restrikes of gold and silver coins in this video, you'll find additional information about restrikes in the Gold Rookie's First Purchase video about Restrikes, here:

I’ve been collecting for a lifetime, and didn’t even know about the restrike. Great info thanks.
Mexican silver has somehow become my favorite. I did not see that coming when I started stacking.
I resisted it for years. So many of the 20th century pieces have relatively low silver content. But then I started finding those pieces that have high silver content. And then I realized that virtually all of them say right on them how pure the silver is and how much they weigh: BAM! I fell in love and I haven't looked back. The next video(s) are going to be awesome!
Loved this vid.ready 4 the next one
Thank you!!
Love the videos. Very informative 👍
An amazingly informative, and entertaining broadcast as usual. I find myself wandering off sometimes, when I contemplate the intricacies, and beauty of your prayer blanket. Thank you.
Thanks again for your kind feedback, Copper Bones!
This channel is criminally underrated, I've learned so much, thank you.
Hey thanks! I really appreciate it! Like, subscribe, and share the channel with everyone you can think of. I'd love to see our community grow!
@@Dub-C_Coins will do!
Love the content, especially Mexican coinage content as it is my favorite to stackollect. Great video once again 👌🏼
STEADY STACKIN
Another great history lesson 👍
So much history and so close to home. The next video on 20th century Mexican silver will focus a little more on the stacking side!
Loving these videos. Quickly fell in love with the Mexican coinage. Thanks for another seriously informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Anxious!
I love the Mexican silver
I think I must have an older picture that I can't find it 19th century cartoons but the Phrygean cap always reminded me of a candle snuffer - probably just random from an old cartoon. Your point about finding the cap/scales on a coin - I thiiiink there's both something from Europe semi adjascent to the Masons in Germany if I recall correctly? I think there's also some silver coin from Africa as well! Thanks for the repsonse!
This is very interesting. I grew up in south Texas but haven’t really had any exposure to Mexican currency. I want to start looking for it, to see if I can find it in unexpected places.
Thanks, Rachel. Many coin dealers don't treat these earlier Mexican pieces any differently than typical 19th century coins. Also look for 20th century pieces--some are really beautiful. Just be careful with the pesos of 1957-1967. They look like they're silver, but they just have a thick silver "wash" on them. Actual silver content is only 10%. I'll be covering all of the interesting pieces from the 20th century in the upcoming videos of this series!
The Un peso coin was also an attempt by the Mexican Government to decimalize the peso in the 1860s and 1870s and the reason it was slightly smaller was because the peso coin was aligned with the European silver crown coins which where also 37mm in diameter. However the peso coin failed and ceased production 1873
Hello thanks for the videos, Im new to all this stuff and having Mexican heritage I am interested in collecting Mexican/spanish coins, may use your videos for our home schooling as well
You're very welcome. And I'd love to have you include my videos in your schooling!
You are getting some background buzz. The visual quality and content of your videos are top notch. Next step would be a little better audio set up if you want some unsolicited advice lol. My family is a video production family so I notice these details but when it comes to viewership it will help as well. It could be that the buzz is a background noise from a device in the room as well. A good mic would help localize to just your voice, which is ideal for these videos btw.
I appreciate the input, Marble Donkey. That background buzz is...a wine fridge :) I do have a mic, I might actually try using it!
Hi, I just ordered a early Silver Mexican 1876 Centavos.
Any thoughts on these coins ?
I've looked at them before and just couldn't hold back any longer because of the funky design on them.
In better condition they cost a few hundred dollars, at least on Apmex website.
I got mine for $22.00 + 5.00 for shipping.
I'll see what the actual condition is on arrival.
It is such a cute coin I had to have at least one.
Your videos are so wonderful !🙂
A really cool piece! I have a couple but I don't go too deep into the smaller denominations. Sounds like you got a good price.
TBH i dont know why or whom tough that 0720 coins would be great.
I've had a hard time tracking down why Mexico went with 72%. The only guess I have, and it's not much of one, is that Spanish colonial and early Mexican silver reales were made in a purity given as fractions of a 72nd: 67/72 , for example, or 65/72. Maybe they kept the 72 as a nod to their silver past?
@@Dub-C_Coins who knows?!?! But still we were and still are the largest produce of silver in the world and this guys came up with this crap. Some 720 coins are gorgeus not a lie thoug.
Mexico's mint is the oldest mint in the Americas. They even minted US coins and paper money for a long time in the 19 century....Same as the US minting pesos later on...
Well the Spanish 8 reale was legal tender in the US until 1857. But I'm not aware of a US coin actually minted in Mexico City. Maybe you could enlighten me?
Hi any coins from the 1800s pure silver
Not that I know of. Pure silver is quite soft and would wear down in circulation. The 8 reales of Mexico (1824-1896) are supposed to be 90.3% pure. Which is more pure than the US silver dollar at 90% pure.
@@Dub-C_Coins thank you so much
