What the heck am I missing with this bidding war? I'm sure it's probably rare but wth, the premium is already unbelievable? "The coin is made from .900 fine gold and contains 1/15 Ounce of Pure (.999 fine gold" https://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-Mo-ME...426082?hash=item5db63d40a2:g:xXEAAOSwGUNfhJic
People get caught up in bidding wars and this leads to crazy prices. The NGC Priceguide has this listed at $275.00 in MS 63 https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...15-onza-km-628-1987-cuid-1116503-duid-1418888 Maybe it's a low mintage coin. I don't know where to find mintage numbers for Mexican coins.
Only one listed on ebay, with just 2 in the sold category. Yes some of the libertads have very low mintages.
Even given a low mintage, It really looks like a botched strike (See Aztec calendar at 11:30-1:30, 6:00 & on the Obv. Legs, Breast & 'M' positions, WTF?) Having 'dipped my toe' into collecting Mexican 20th century gold mintages, I've never seen 'toning' like that on any Mex. gold coins. Live and learn, I guess, or...? J.T. Addendum: My Harper: '2019 Coins of North America' CV KM#628 is $250 in MS65 W/ no mintage quoted!
I have several Mexican Gold coins none of which have that dull tone look that yours has. Let the experts chime in for a better opinion. Good luck.
That's amazing, I'll never understand this amazing sale! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces56998.html
Last one sold for $710....these just aren't selling as bullion coins, even if the price guides haven't realized that yet.
