I'm not sure how hard this will be, so my apologies in advance if this is totally unfair. Please guess the country of origin, date, series, and denomination.

When in doubt, don't.

    Edited to add: It sure looks familiar and now I am thinking about it. What's the weather like in SoCal? It's currently 24 degrees here in Mountain Home, AR. I miss SoCal alot on days like this...

    Rick: Close, but only partly correct. It was in the 60s today and bright & clear. Forecast the rest of the week is 1-2 degrees warmer each day.
    WWW: Me too. It looked like a VERY nice coin, but I was still shocked at how much it brought.
    Coinpictures: Isn't 1911 the only date that has different ray varieties?
    Mrpotatoheadd: A 1914? I'm jealous. Maybe I'll find one at the FUN show later this week.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Thanks for playing everyone!

    For the few of you who didn't already know, the coin in question is a Mexico 1913/2 Caballito Peso.
    When in doubt, don't.
