Is there a list of Mexican 8 Reale Mints, Mint Masters and Assayers on the Internet or in a book I can buy that does cost a lot? I recently got Wayne Raymond's The Silver Dollars of N and S America, which is good but just provides info on Mints without a lot of detail. I'm interested in the Spanish Colonial bust series from 1772-1822 and the Empire and Republican coins 1822-1897. Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 09/20/2009 6:57 pm Here is a good source of information and lists of dates/assayers for all the Mexican coins. Prices are out of date and several errors in the book but a nice reference. Standard Catalog of Mexican Coins/ Colin Bruce/ 1981 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...ndition=used For the cap and ray coins, the best reference is "Resplandores" by Dunigan.

CZNZ New Member New Zealand 2 Posts	Posted 09/20/2009 7:39 pm I have just arranged to get A GUIDE BOOK OF MEXICAN COINS (1822 to Date) by Buttrey (1969) which has Mint and Mint Masters/Assayers by date with values for silver coins. The review I found indicated that this was one of the first books to do this. I could not find reviews for the other books, and I got this one on ebay for $29 although Amazon has the paperback for about $19 they do not ship to New Zealand. Report this Post to the Staff
