The seller just sent me an e-mail saying this coin is in the mail. This time, I really can't wait to see it!

    I'm too lazy to get my Krause out, is the overdate a more valuable coin?

    It seems not. If I'm looking at the right one, the mintage of the 1913/2 was 2,880,000 compared with 322,000 for a 1912 with prices running @ $100 less for the 13/2. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm new at looking up stuff in the Krause. image

    That is the nicest caballito I've seen in a long time. That price was a bargin IMO. I have an AU and a MS 61 1910 but neither come close to yours. Congrats I'm jealous.

    Great coin. The low relief design makes this coin really tough to get in choice condition.. I have alot of Mexican material but a nice cab. still eludes me. CONGRATS.

    I very much disagree about the 1913/2 being as common as the regular 1913.

    Regardless of what the mintages were -- and I find it highly unlikely the mint knew they were making an overdate and kept production records -- my experience looking for Caballitos (three years) is that the overdate is extremely scarce. In fact, this is the only Mint State example I've ever found for sale, and it's only the fourth example in any grade I've found. The 1913 non-overdate, however, has been an easy coin to locate... almost as easy as the 1910.

    The 1912 seems to be as tough as the 1913/2. I actually found one of those right away when I first started looking, but passed it up because it seemed expensve and I didn't know any better at the time. What a dolt I was! I've seen a handful of 1912s that were claimed to be Mint State, but the nicest one or two looked cleaned to me.

    The 1911 short ray is tough, and I've still never encountered a Mint State 1914.

    Here's how I'd rank the 7-coin Caballito series in terms of market availability in Mint State, from easiest to hardest:

    1910
    1913
    1911 long ray
    1912
    1913/2
    1911 short ray
    1914

    The Caballito series is flat-out gorgeous, and anyone who likes big silver coins would probably enjoy having one.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Gorgeous Caballito - it's interesting to note too that this series was struck in the midst of a pretty prolonged civil war.
