<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 3338515, member: 15488"]Consider this. The U.S. Mint just released a 5 ounce coin (Apollo 11) with a mintage of 100,000 for $224. The 5 Ounce Antique Finish Libertad has a mintage of 2,000 and you can buy for $155. In the end, both are 5 ounces of Silver if you only consider the "bullion" content. In the long run, I would speculate that the Libertad will increase in "collector" value faster and at a higher rate. Right now, the 2014 (key date) 5 ounce Libertad with a mintage of 6,400 is selling for over $200. I think I paid $149 for mine back in 2015. This is the first year for the new Antique finish and with a low mintage, I would not hesitate to buy one. If fact I plan to get all sizes if possible. I already have the one ounce on order. Not for the "investment" reason, but because I like to "collect" them. The potential to increase in value is just a happy bonus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
