With my interests primarily shifting to ancient coins, I've not added much recently in the way of world coins or US pieces. However, I asked around a bit at the ANA show, did some digging and found this coin. The 1911 Long Ray is the most well defined and struck date in the series and this one appears to be an early strike with fresh dies. All of the details are crisp and the fields are prooflike. I'm very excited to add this coin to my collection!
Just beautiful! Wow. My collection will not be completed until I manage to get a caballito and a "muera huerta". Yours is an excellent coin! Beautiful.
Thanks! I would like to have one of those also but this was on my list first to pair with my 1921 2 peso. Thanks! Its better than most 64's I've seen and also quite a few 65's.
I would love to add a Cabalito to my collection but even the lower grade ones are out of my price range. I will just have to admire from afar. Yours is perfect for that. Thanks for sharing
Dagnabit, man! If you were trying to make me jealous, you just succeeded! I've been after one for a while, and you got one with exactly the sort of look I want, and even the date I want! (1911 is my paternal grandmother's birthyear.) That prooflike, frosty contrast is awesome. I was curious and had to look up the cert page. Congratulations. You nailed everything I'm after in a Caballito. LMK if you ever tire of it (which would seem unlikely).
Thanks @lordmarcovan ! I've not seen it in person yet, but I imagine its quite nice. It was submitted to PCGS before they were designating anything other than morgans PL. I may crack and resubmit to try to get it into a PL holder.
A type I still want to but admit I haven't been gunning for since I have fallen into other side hobbies lately. Beautiful addition & congrats.
