<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 188205, member: 1876&quot;]I have collected both of these series and will share my experience gained while collecting these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Britannia: The mintages of these bullion coins are pretty low. So, by definition these should be tough to get. But I have always found them with dealers in shows (though never in quantity). Also the premium on these are higher then other silver bullion coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mexican Libertad: This is another challenging series with several key dates. 1988 and 1989 are two tough dates and command a premium over melt. And in recent years I have noticed that 1998 is becoming the toughest date in this series. The mintage for 1998 is very low and it usually sells for 8-10 times of it melt price. 1996 and 2000 are also low mintage coins and command a small premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, in 1991, the Mexican mint changed the design of these libertads. And they produced 1991 dated coins with both designs. The second design of 1991 is a tough coin to locate but sometime you can find it with dealers who doesn&#039;t know the difference and mark it as a regular 1991 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It will take some time to build these sets but once done, they look impressive and give much joy. Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
