GRADE POSTED -- 1911 Mexico Caballito Peso

Been on the hunt for one of these with a nice strike and booming luster. I finally added this one to my collection. The coin is the size of a US Morgan Dollar. Guess the grade!

MS66 PL

 

For that coin to be as big as Morgan it sure lead a sheltered life. Hardly a mark on it. Nice!

That's a 66 easy. As for PL not quite sure on that. The reverse is but the obverse is shy I feel. Super coin one of my favorite designs.

That is a very attractive coin. I'll jump on the 66 bandwagon as well. These coins often come semi-prooflike - but I don't think this one goes all the way to PL.

 

I really like your photos as well - the way the lighting emphasizes the relief is really good.

Very 66 indeed

NGC thought it was an MS62. My grade is MS64. This is one of the nicer strikes I have seen on this issue in the 3.5 years of searching for one since early 2011. I'm not complaining though, as the MS62 label means I paid a lot less for this lovely coin.

 

This coin puts my horses coin set at 230 pieces.

A very nice purchase Brandon. You scored big.

[Coindude]

Wow, I'm shocked to see that grade. What are we not seeing?

If he had left it raw it would still be a MS66

 

Now that the 'experts' got ahold of it - it might be a MS63

 

But look at the bright side. You can always send them more money and get a better grade. (thumbs u

I am not familiar with the series, but the coin looks very clean to only be assigned a MS62 (based on the size of the coin). Had you not posted the grade, my response would have been more in line with the others. It is a very nice coin; very neat!
