About Mexican Legend and Revolutionary Pancho Villa

Hundreds of Rare 1913 Mexican Pesos, tied to the legendary Mexican Revolutionary Pancho Villa surface in a down economy in Pecos, New Mexico, a small village near Santa Fe, NM. The pesos were originally found in a wall in a root cellar in 1978.

From the early 1910’s until the end of his life in July of 1923 at the hand of assassins alleged to be the followers of Alvaro Obregon, a former general, who feared Pancho Villa’s opposition to his candidacy for the Mexican Presidency, the Mexican Revolutionary hero Doroteo Arango (“Pancho” Villa’s name at birth) led the life of a revolutionary. The pesos found in a wall in northern New Mexico in 1978 seem to lead back to the legendary man Pancho Villa when you here the story of the man who says he met Pancho Villa in the Spring of 1923 just before Mr. Villa’s death when you see amazing condition of the 1913 pesos in person. The peso bills truly look like a new $20 dollar bill you might get when you go to your local ATM machine to get some spending money from your checking account. The quality of these 1913 Mexican pesos will knock your socks off. The amazing thing is the time frames connected to the trials and tribulations of Pancho Villa around the time of his death and his timely visit to Pecos, New Mexico come pretty darn close to when the money found in 1978 went into a wall for hiding in 1923.

At first glance this story might just seem a little bit big and perhaps along the lines a whopper of a fish tale. But when you look at the whole picture much of what went on and what led, supposedly, to a bunch of mint condition 1913 Mexican pesos being found in an adobe wall 1978, you have to really consider that the story about Pancho Villa being in Pecos, NM in 1923 with a bunch of peso and men might just be true.
