I really like Mexican GOLD not so much the premiums however but you will easily get that back because of the scarcity low mintages are the norm, here’s a few peices I have picked up over the years but always looking for more prefer graded examples but those are few and far between if you have any Mexican GOLD post away !
Greeting Group, To answer your question,I can see no reason why they need to be mutually exclusive. When I was a teenager a good friend whose father owned a Dry Cleaners showed me a Mexican 50 peso gold piece his father had found in a customer's suit pocket. The customer never returned to pickup his suit so after a year it became property of the my friend's dad. I was fascinated by its beauty & the weight. So when the opportunity presented itself in 2008 for me to put together the complete set, I took it. Certain dates (1-My BD) chose to get the MS-65..the rest MS-63 & a few 64: 1921 MS-63 NGC 1922 MS-63 NGC 1923 MS-63 NGC 1924 MS-63 NGC 1925 MS-63 NGC 1926 MS-63 NGC 1927 MS-63 NGC 1928 MS-63 NGC 1929 MS-64 NGC 1930 MS-63 NGC 1931 MS-64 NGC 1943 MS-64 NGC 1944 MS-65 NGC 1945 MS-64 NGC 1946 MS-65 NGC 1947 UNC. RAW I bought the 1 re-strike ungraded so. it's weight in-hand could be enjoyed. However, by the time I finished buying these earlier bullion coins the price of gold had become financially prohibitive for me. J.T.
Mexican Gold, especially the 50 peso it’s bigger in the hand and very substantial 1.2 OZ but the premiums are still way out there over US GOLD I would like to find a graded example for my collection as well.
The last Mexican gold I bought was 2 re-strikes of the 20 peso Aztec calendar. Unfortunately I waited too long to get a really good price, but what the heck, it's only money! J.T.
When it comes to GOLD it’s hit or miss especially if it’s foreign, I collect 1 OZ Krugerrands have 16 but many years are just unobtainable at any price !
I just looked up the average gold price per ounce in 2008....it was only $872. Guess I was luckier that I knew at the time. Isn't hindsight a blast? J.T.
I have a couple quarter ouncers, the 1981 gold libertad but nothing bigger, again you're king of the mountain and a major foam monster!
Yesterday when gold was $2043/oz eBay had the 50 peso 1947 re-strikes listed for only $100 over melt. That's the best price I've seen for a while. J.T.
That’s a great price ! Mexican GOLD usually goes way over that, was on APMEX today and libertads and pesos were 3K plus.
