<p>[QUOTE=&quot;se-collectibles, post: 854365, member: 24447&quot;]Check the price of the 1983 proof. They were made for the 1982/1983 proof sets of which 998 were produced. The only way to get an 83 proof onza is to cut it out of a set (or buy one that&#039;s already been cut out).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how many intact sets are extant, but I can tell you where 7 of them are. Unfortunately, only 6 are still in the original box and only 3 or 4 still have the COA with the serial number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only 998 of those coins exist, yet the price is FAR less than the 1995-W proof ASE. Why?</p><p><br /></p><p>Supply and demand. The demand for the 95-W outweighs the 83 onza by a mile and three quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mintage of the 86 onza (or libertad) is comparable to the 95-W and the 87 onza is about a third. Both are easily obtained for under $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>A complete set of Mexican libertads would a nice sight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
