[QUOTE="richardthebrave, post: 956027, member: 20511"]1903-1906 - these were the heavier ones as they were consisting of 90% silver content per peso. 1907-to years before WW2 - only 80% silver content per peso. during the change of the silver content, the reason was due to the price of silver going up. that is why the 1906 peso is highly priced, this series still had a low production and was suddenly recalled along with the existing pesos and centavos in circulation for re-mint. voila! you have the 1907 peso with less silver content. this also explains why the 1903-1905 coins (most of them) at this time don't have high prices because they were issued in a very large volumes - 1906 peso on the other hand was made to fill in as additional circulation on top of the existing ones making it scarce.[/QUOTE]
