Bruceswar Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cindy be very carefull with coins like that. They will swallow you up before you know it. That fever catches you quickly. Thats a killer 1913. Good luck with a 1911, the key to the series. If you like the artwork on that coin maybe you should try for a few older Mexican Pesos. Those are fun if you ask me. Putting a set of those together would be really neat. That is an 1884 from Zs or Zacatecas, a state in Mexico. That coin has it all if you ask me and it did not cost me an arm and a leg.

cindyd-migration Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks for the comment, Bruce, on the Caballito. I have been looking for coins with nice images of horses on them, and when I saw some of these on Ebay, I started watching them. This was by far the nicest, and I guess it "swallowed me up", as you say. I wanted it. I don't feel bad about what I paid, because I am pleased with the coin in hand and it will be a keeper for me. It will be a while before I go that route again, though. Back to being patient and careful. I will check out the other Pesos you mentioned. Hope you had a great birthday!

Bruceswar Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You will find the Pesos to be much cheaper, unless you want an 1824 "Hookneck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cindy, that Caballito is a VERY cool coin! Me likey a whole bunch! Rey, while I'm not a big fan of tiny coins, that's a pretty 1/2 dime. Bruce, sweet looking peso! Good looking toning on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasrichard Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Took a break from the classics to pick up some bullion. Got these last night off TT for less than the mint price for current release as I was able to use the $50 promotional discount for April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well, it is interesting to me. But then I don't know that much about them. The one they show in the Red Book is the Point of Bust Close to W variety. On your coin The W is a little bit north of the position of the W they show in the Red Book. I'm sure there are several varieties. That seems to be the trend of early American coins. At any rate, it is one heck of a find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
