“A Variety Guide to the Silver and Copper Coinage of the Mexico City Mint, 1732-1771 is dedicated exclusively to all denominations and dates of this coinage, in as much details as has even been presented. A great deal of fragmentary historical research is synthesized to present a current accounting of types, with rarity and estimated prices. Included are descriptions of 573 dates and varieties, with close to 600 photos. This guide also brings together, in one volume, many facets of both the history leading up to the first strikes, and the details behind the major design changes seen during the forty years of issue.\\\" Signed by the author.

Color Re-Print of Grove Vol 1! ISBN: 979-8-9888531-1-4 Format: 8.5x11, Softcover, 216 pages Publication date: Dec 28th 2023 Frank Grove s herculean lifetime effort to catalogue the medals of Mexico has stood the test of time, remaining the standard reference for collectors, auctioneers and graders for over 50 years. Medal collecting has surged in popularity, but being out-of-print, his books have become increasingly unobtainable for new collectors. Since the advent of the internet, many previously un-photographed medals have also come to light. Some are so rare that Grove never saw them in person, having to copy hand-drawn sketches from prior works by Medina and Herrera. This 3rd edition updates the reader with hundreds of high resolution color images from recent auctions and aims to give new collectors an insight into this wonderful area of Mexican history.
