Mexico Bi-Metallic

[CoinCrusader42]

I just reported under "Interesting Finds" the fact that a convenience store clerk gave (traded for a quarter) me a Mexico Five Peso Bi-Metallic coin, 2003.

It's not the first I've seen, since we have taken several trips to Mexico, and I have brought back a bunch of Mexican coins.

I have noticed the inner core (copper?) doesn't seem to wear very well, but the outer core (steel?) does wear well.

All in all, I think it's an attractive coin.

Since I probably have better than 100 of the Mexican coins, I suppose I should look for some kind of folder or album, and start some new collections.

Anybody know if there is a company which produces folders or albums for Mexican coins?

Gary, I can't help you with the albums.

I just wanted to say that Mexican coins are one of my favourites.
My collection has 98 coins so far.

The best I can offer anyone interested in Mexican coinage, is getting in touch with my friend Fernando Razo, at mexicancoinclub@yahoo.com .  He's always interested in Mexican coins and more specifically, getting more people to collect them.

Steve,

This promise can't be done in the near future, but I will gladly send you my duplicates when I find where I hid them away.

Thank you, Gary.

Much appreciated.

Steve,

Spring is clean-up time around here, and Pat and I are starting with the yards, and then we will move inside and get with it indoors.

There are two or three places my Mexican coins might be hiding.  I would guess I have probably 100 or so.  As stated, I'll mail you the duplicates.  It will still be a while, but I'll get it done.

Thank you, Gary.

I'm in no hurry. I appreciate your help.

Steve,  a friend just gave me a 2007 x $1.00 Mexican coin. (bi-metal)
As I dont save them, it's yours. Will post this week.
regards,    Bob.

That's great, thanks, Bob.

I don't have any 2007 coins.

Off by pony express today, Steve.

Steve,

It's only been nine months, but I haven't forgotten you!!

Over the holidays the wife and I are going to do some cleaning, sorting, and so forth, and I'm sure we'll come across the Mexican coins.

Thanks for your patience.  I'll get them to you soon.  Really!!

Gary, I was always taught, that good things come to those that wait.

So no pressure, when ever.

Thanks.

Steve,

Just found a "like new" Mexican 2006 bi-metallic $2 peso in my Bermuda Shorts which I wore in Mexico.

Sat it aside for you, and I hope to add to the bi-metallic coins, and will send you all I locate.
