Hi..I am new to Mexican Libertads, buying both MS & Proofs, Silver and Gold issues...attractive, low mintage coins, and, I need a good price guide for them..something the dealers use I suppose? I cannot find world coin prices on PCGS..NGC, no problem. My focus here though is to hear from all of you which best book/price guide to buy. Thanks Calvin
You can try this guide that Whitman introduced last year - Whitman Encyclopedia of Mexican Money https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Whitman-Encyclopedia-of-Mexican-Money-Volume-I 0794834078
If I'm not mistaken only Volume 1 of the Whitman series has been published so far, and it doesn't list prices. You could try searching on "mexico onza" here: http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/ This seems to be the same data as the Krause catalog, and may not always have much relevance to the real world.
I wish I could help you on where to find such coins. I usually check E-bay or APEX. I happen to absolutley LOVE Mexican coinage. Especially the beautiful 1947 - 1948 Cuahtemoc .900 Silver Coins. The 1947 has a much lower mintage than the 1948, but both are beautiful.
Libertads are bullion coins, and should be priced as bullion. They are popular, but are equivalent to Maples, Eagles, Pandas, or any other modern bullion piece.
I may be mistaken or misunderstood your response....but the Cuauhtémoc 1947-1948 Cinco Peso's are NOT Bullion They have .900 silver in them and have more ASW than Morgan Dollars...but they are definitely NOT Bullion. Correct me if I am wrong; as I may have read the response incorrectly. Thanks. P.S. If you are making a general statement then you are correct. If not, then my response is correct. Thank you.
The OP is asking about Libertad's, which are bullion. You posted a Cuahtemoc and started talking about them. They are not Libertads. In US coinage, that would be like someone asking about Silver Eagles, so you post a Peace Dollar.
I dont know why CDN hasnt caught onto this yet, or due to $$$ its not worth it. But I wish someone would create a price guide for world GRADED bullion coins. CDN already has ASE and Pandas in the Greysheet. Canadians, British, South African, Australian, and Mexican Graded Coins are a huge part of the market, but so far Pandas are the only NON-US coin I can find a price guide for. Any who there is my 2 cents worth.
[Four year old thread.] There are a few sites that specialize in graded world bullion (moderncoinmart.com comes to mind, and it’s easy to find on eBay). But I’m not sure the “huge” market extends much beyond these places. If you’re paying attention to them you probably have a better grasp of prevailing prices than any printed guide could give you.
