Yes indeed I agree. On this series the aesthetic appeal is I believe enhanced by a full libertad and the lovely graininess in the Caballito/horse...
Over the last couple of years, and I have been a bit late to the party, I have come to really like the Caballito pesos. Mercifully a rather short...
This coin grade also a shocker…..in hand it ducks all the caveats including hairlines - there are a few micro dust pits on the die and even a...

Yes, I agree it being nice. I won't say I have a lot of background but always like a challenge. Well, maybe I do have a lot of background as I...
Yes, in hand does support that. I am mystified by some of the grading - I have been collecting Victorian silver currency and proof for over 30...
Well, it was an ordinary "62". As I would likely one day resell it here, will likely have to try to get it regraded in hopes of a bigger sale...
Those [four letter words]. They will not ship until 3 January even though paid for by credit card. What the h--l? I bought it. If it is nicely...

Here is obverse of [ATTACH] a graded Proof 64 Cameo:
OK, here is another, and sad it has to be photos and not "in hand" but what are we to do? I wish I had a bigger blowup but FYI the grade limiters...
EF details. Just too much action sadly on this dude. Love the buffs though!
I see a small planchet defect to left of nose but precious few marks for a cartwheel coin of this size - perhaps review some Morgan dollars to see...
Storage conditions critical IMO. Also, may not be the best light - I've seen a number similar and were not problematic. May have been dipped...
I really, really like the belt buckle. The ring, well, not sure about that although you have a good background story provided. The overall design...
I too just love so many of the Mexican coins, and give them credit on the moderns, even though the Libertad gold and silver series is getting a...
Appreciate your conservative grading, and again as I love Victorian silver that is a nice coin.
I will go ahead and pronounce judgement: this coin was misslabbed as a proof and is a currency strike, albeit decent preparation went into the...
