Featured Greysheet Pricing for November: Banco de Mexico banknotes

For this month’s Featured Pricing we are trying something new, which is a chart of Mexican paper money. There is more crossover than ever in the world of collecting, especially when it comes to numismatics. While there are still collectors who may have laser focus on one coin series or one country, many collectors are realizing the benefits of diversification. There are many factors that contribute to this; the primary one is that each market behaves differently, and while one may be hot and overbought, another may be quiet and overlooked. While U.S. coins have performed very well over the past three years, the past decade has seen huge growth in the size and depth of the world paper money market. The listings shown here are derived from The Banknote Book (BNB), our catalog of world paper money which not only replaces the prior Standard Catalog but greatly and significantly expands upon it. These listings, of the initial Banco de Mexico banknotes, are but a very small slice of the tens of thousands of note types covered by the catalog. Anyone with even a peripheral interest should subscribe to it.

A subscription to one of our data packages ensures you access to hundreds of thousands of prices online, on our smartphone (and tablet) apps, and printed publications. Subscriptions start as low as $9.99/month.

About the Banknote Book

The Banknote Book is a comprehensive catalog of world notes currently being compiled and released as individual country chapters are completed.

Collectors familiar with Krause’s Standard Catalog of World Paper Money know only too well the many problems afflicting that publication, including typos, erroneous listings, missing varieties, poor images, inaccurate valuations, and gross inconsistencies, all of which have gone uncorrected edition after edition. The Banknote Book addresses these issues by starting from scratch with a fresh approach, unencumbered by legacy data of questionable validity.

The Banknote Book strives to publish detailed information, full-color images, and accurate valuations of every note ever officially issued by a given country (including some unissued notes, too). The images are crisp, clear, and in color. In contrast to the bare-bones data presented in the SCWPM, listings in The Banknote Book include all of the information of interest to the novice and serious collector alike.

You’ll find links to the issuing authorities’ web sites and bibliographies if you wish to do additional research. If an issuing authority sells banknotes directly to the public, that fact is also mentioned. Furthermore, the introductory text and notations throughout provide background information that puts the notes in context, helping you further enjoy and appreciate your collection.
