Saw it on sale for 2% over spot and took my chances despite it being random year and varied condition. Ended up receiving a 2022 proof coin with lots of copper spots. I know I shouldn’t, but I’m quite tempted to try removing the spots.
My 3 Amigos in the 1 oz category. While one of them is worth a lot more than the others, the true rarity is the MS-70 and if you know, You Know.
Who else loves toners ?
1oz Mexican Libertad .999 Plata Pura.
I traded 12.4oz of silver for this work of art today. I think I did well!
In my opinion, the Mexican Libertad reverse proof is the most beautiful coin there is and the limited number of them makes them even more appealing to me.

Current state of my Lib stack. Hands down one of my favorites, right behind the American Silver Eagles. Crazy that I got the 2oz proof for around $100 not too long ago. Now there in the $300. Wish I got a 5oz back then. Love stacking been doing in for 10 years now. I do it for the love of the game!
2023 5oz RP Libertad with a mintage of only 1,500 pieces. Not the lowest mintage out there, but still significantly smaller than most nationally issued coins. With demand increasing significantly over the past year in particular, these are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially without significant numismatic premiums…
The amount of detail and contrast on these in person is honestly hard to capture in photos. I originally considered grading it, but spotted a couple tiny imperfections on the rim under magnification and decided against it. No regrets though — this thing is stunning raw!
I'm pretty happy with the grade I received, just interested in why they chose that big of a case?
Picked these onzas/libertad up for a small premium to melt, but got the US coins ~40% below melt all in. Think the dealer just messed up their math or through they were all 40% coins.
OfferUp find today: dented Libertad below melt
I want to clean my coin to make it white shiny but more because I do not like the green edge on the eagle side. Currently planning on washing it in baking soda + boiling water + aluminum foil then dry pat it after a couple of washes.
I read that removing this toning/tarnishing can reduce the value.. thoughts?
update: fine I won't clean it. Thanks for the responses!
Does anybody have info on these? Seem to be pretty cool but can’t find much on them.
Got this the other day it was the same price as a raw one.
I have 1 1984, 1 2017, 2 2021 and 1 2024. In the picture a random 1956 Diez Pesos. What is your favorite?
