None of the Mexican ones you posted closeups of are silver. For Mexico, the last circulating silvers were 1967, the .100 fine peso (yes. 1/10th silver) and some circulating bimetallics in the early 1990s. This website should tell you most of the old silver coins to look for. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Don't just trash them. Either sell them or give them away to a YN.

So-called "obsolete" foreign coins sell for between $6-$7 per pound, retail.

just give them to a kid. That's what I do with my non-interesting foreign stuff. Kids love such things, even if it is only to make change at the imaginary store. And you never know, you might spark something.

It could make some old man a kid again too, if you are giving away!

This is the second thread I have read today mentioning trashing (discarding) coins.  Do not throw your coins away! At the very least, make an effort to give them away. You can offer them in the Contest, Quiz, & Giveaway forum, regardless of post count. |
