Here's a Cleveland commem I picked up on the Bay. It has just enough toning to suggest that it wasn't recently dipped. Since it appears to be...
Some interesting examples of Socialist Realism on the reverses, especially the one showing nationalization of foreign companies. Apparently the...
Those are the two best designs by far! I have a 1921 2 Peso but not the Caballito; if I remember right those are a bit more pricey.
