PCGS Set Registry Update

The Mexican peso was introduced as a denomination in 1863 equaling 100 centavos. This change came under the rule of the Emperor Maximillian during the Second Mexican Empire, and the silver peso was struck in 1866. This denomination was short lived, as it was discontinued in 1868. The 8 reales denomination became the standard within the country of Mexico and was preferred by the Chinese merchants in terms of global trading. In 1898, the peso was reintroduced and has continued in production through today as part of Mexico's currency. A few designs have graced Mexican coinage over the years, with the Winged Liberty motif popular with collectors and seen above. This 2 pesos is part of the 1921 Mexican Year Set that has recently been listed for collectors to consider building.

Additional sets from various countries have been added, so please feel free to browse the PCGS Set Registry when you have a chance and you may find there is a set for almost anyone to build. The PCGS Set Registry offers many different sets from all over the world and specialty sets for advanced collectors. We appreciate your continued patronage!
