<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xlrcable, post: 1866583, member: 41288&quot;]One of the always-interesting things about the market is that the prices of some coins seem to make a linear progression across grades, while others fall off a cliff below BU. As you say, the 20 centavos are a good example of the latter: you can spare yourself a lot of pain on the key dates by making very small compromises. (I know some collectors would say that the whole point is not to make those compromises; financially it&#039;s my good fortune not to be one of them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a type collector too and I kind of enjoy the ironies that go with it. The Caballito is &quot;hard&quot; in the sense of &quot;expensive,&quot; but it&#039;s easy to find and you can take your pick once you&#039;ve decided on a budget. It was much harder to find the tiny one centavo from the early 1970s. The one that&#039;s given me fits for years now is the septagonal Hidalgo 10 pesos from the 70s: they&#039;re everywhere but every last one looks like roadkill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
