Getting Mexican Coin Rolls

I live closer to the border than you do and still have never seen any Mexican coinage in circulation.

I've become something of a collector of Mexican specie myself, but almost completely ignore that from the decade before and ever since the reform of 1992. That's almost all "bargain" or "junk" bin stuff for a reason. So I just can't see any good purpose to exchanging spendable American dollars for the likes of it, rolled or not.

If you do go, what you might look for is 19th and early 20th century silver (or even gold) issues, with the caveat that there seems to be a propensity down there for polishing them. But I think you'd actually do better shopping the Mexican coin sellers in the Phoenix area, at least one of which is a premier specialist dealer for such material. You'd also be well advised to attend the U.S. Mex. N.A. event there in October.

go to the local value village or other second hand thrift stores, they usually always have bags of random coins, you would probably get some Mexican coins that way.

If your are adventurous buy the large modern Mexico coin lots off ebay at a steep discount, pick out what you want and exchange the rest for face value and a profit. In and out of Mexico is a pain in the neck from San Diego.
