Still a few more to share from the ones I just got back from PCGS. Here is another interesting one…

This one is a bit of a sleeper. Pop for this coin is fairly low at 5,800 (5th lowest of the series). But the total PCGS & NGC graded pop is 3rd lowest at 31 total.

Total Pop: 31 (3rd lowest)
Mintage: 5,800 (5th lowest)
MS67: 5
Higher: 22 total (12 PCGS + 10 NGC)

The 2 oz business and proof strikes are among my favorite parts of the Libertad series. The larger 48mm format lets the classic Winged Victory design breathe, and the low mintages and tiny certified populations make these much more interesting than their raw mintage numbers alone suggest.

This one has a bit of toning which gives it added character IMO. Finding these old 2oz BU’s in decent grades is pretty tough these days.

More Libertads still to come this week. 🇲🇽

Had some pretty solid hits with the submission that just came back, including this one.

Spent about a year examining and researching toners before deciding to pull the trigger on the first one which came back straight graded. Decided to run it back and picked up this☝️next, so now 2 for 2!

Will be sharing some other hits from this latest submission over the next few days 👍

Crazy story…a couple years ago I convinced Goldin to hire me as a 1099 commission based item scout.

My strategy was to reach out to eBay sellers with the highest valued items listed. I ended up connecting with a guy who explained that he had a 1 of 3 Boba Fett action figure prototype and that it was the rarest Star Wars figure.

He told me that he bought it for $250k from the engineer who created it many years ago and also that one of the others was owned by either the CEO of Mattel, or Marvel, I can’t remember. I think he said that he didnt know who owned the third.

He sent me a pic of the graded Fett figure and I was instantly convinced that he wasn’t full of it. It took some convincing before he agreed to allow me to take it to Goldin for consideration.

I took it to Goldin and initially they were dismissive of it. They had no idea what it was. The guy I worked for at Goldin kept pumping it internally bc I eventually convinced him of it’s significance. Ultimately it took over a month of convincing before Goldin became so incredibly interested in it that the TV show producer contacted me directly asking to be connected with the owner.

I made the connection and the rest is history. They planned to feature it in their show then auction it right after the show was aired. Finally, after about a year of waiting, the show finally aired and they listed this item for auction.

I waited and watched the auction unfold. During the last 30 minutes or so, the item more than doubled, far eclipsing the previous world action figure record of $545k I believe it was.

Eventually I received a commission check, but not before the leadership at Goldin opted to cut my commission rate in half to 1%, despite having a contract @ 2%. At the end of the day I felt fortunate that I received any commission at all as I eventually discovered that it is a standard practice in the industry to cut out item scouts. Fortunately or unfortunately, the entire check went to the IRS for a bill I received at the exact same time I received the money and for nearly the exact same amount.

Nonetheless, it was a wild ride and super exciting throughout the entire process!

The early 2000s don’t like to show up very often.

I'm excited to share that LibertadVault.com is officially live.

As a fellow collector, I wanted to build the kind of site I always wished existed—a place focused exclusively on Mexican Libertads, with accurate descriptions, high-quality photography, and a collector-first approach.
This is just the beginning. I'll continue adding inventory, expanding educational resources, and refining the site over time.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback—good or bad. If you notice anything that could be improved—or if you run into any issues—please leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make this community such a great place to learn and share information. A special thank you to everyone who took the time to review the site and share thoughtful feedback and suggestions—it genuinely helped improve it before launch, and I really appreciate it.

Here are two additional charts to help us all better understand trends, key dates, and year-to-year comparisons.

The data represents the total annual bullion mintages for every Libertad year (1981–2025) and ranked them from lowest to highest for both Gold and Silver.

Again, these numbers represent all denominations combined…

Calling all Libertad data junkies 🧐📊 — total mintages for all denominations and finishes combined by year for BU, Proof, Gold BU, and Gold Proof.

To be clear, this chart totals ALL denominations for a particular year as applicable, INCLUDING fractionals, 2oz, 5oz, RP’s, antiqued, 1oz, etc. The purpose behind this is explained below…

It recently came up in a different discussion regarding why some year types with higher mintages may be valued higher than the same type with lower mintages from other years.

The takeaway consensus seemed to be that total mintage for the year may play a pivotal role in determining value and demand for all coins issued that year.

This chart offers a different perspective on the data shared previously by u/Bullioncat2 in terms of showing the total coins of all types issued by year.

What trends do you see???

Show us what you’ve got! Good luck 🍀

Pre submission pic to cover my bases.

Mostly proofs, some RPs, and x2 BU’s including a nice color toner for good measure…

Overhyped, over marketed, and overproduced, in my experience, current year US silver coins are one of the fastest ways to ensure a fast loss of your hard earned investment dollars.  

While the US Mint artificially creates demand by frequently pulling items, only to rerelease them shortly afterwards, collectors have historically been willing to shell out massive premiums for mere bullion coins.  With mintages typically over half a million coins, sometimes into the millions, once the current year hype dies down, by the next year, the value of the coins you paid 250% of spot for just a few months ago are now selling for 5% over spot in perfect grade and you’re stuck with regret and out money 💰.

Let’s look at one example.  Take the traditional fan favorite, Morgan Dollars.  The average annual mintage for Morgan Dollars across its 28 production years is 23,464,286!!  It’s always baffled me that these coins have been so popular when anyone could literally find any year, any mint mark, any grade, etc at any given time.  These coins all still sell for boatloads of money over spot 🤔.

I think collectors are finally starting to catch onto this.  I challenge anyone on this thread to provide a single US silver coins produced over the last 100 years that you couldn’t immediately find, typically multiples of, on the market at any given time.  True scarcity does not exist with US silver coins.  

Collectors seem to finally be waking up to realize this.  In today’s market, more and more savvy collectors seem to be catching on and are beginning to shy away from buying common US silver coins unless they are being offered at or sometimes even under spot.  

Another example, in contrast to silver eagles, take Mexican Libertad proof coins for example.  With mintages in the 1,000’s or even lower, a mint that doesn’t overplay its hand, and IMHO a vastly superior design, many of these coins are ghosts that require patience, diligence, and the willingness to outbid the competition in order to acquire key dates.  

I’m curious what some of the dealers and other collectors have been noticing here, if anything?
