Silver Libertad, 2015 to 2017
In the precious metals marketplace, the silver Mexican Libertad competes with the American Silver Eagle, the British Silver Britannia, and the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf in government bullion coins for stacking.
Mexican Silver Libertads are .999-fine silver and come in a variety of sizes from the kilo down to the one twentieth ounce, in both BU and proof.
The past three years, I collected one set each of the popular silver Libertad coin sizes: 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/10 ounce and 1/20 ounce and only in business strike. Since I don't stack Libertads, I decided to upgrade to the silver proof Libertads for 2018.
2015 Mexico Silver Libertad, BU
1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/20 ozThe obverse of the Silver Libertad coin features the Mexican National Seal with an eagle atop a cactus, clutching a serpent in its beak. Surrounding the eagle are a wreath and the official name of Mexico in Spanish: "Estados Unidos Mexicanos."
2016 Mexico Silver Libertad, BU
1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, 1/20 ozThe reverse depicts two key symbols of the Mexican people: the Angel of Independence and the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. Appearing in the forefront, the Winged Victory angel is a historic monument for the Mexican people and is considered the symbol of Mexico City. The Mexican volcanoes pictured in the background of the reverse memorialize the legend of the two lovers from whom they were named.
I love them myself (yet to pic any up) and the way you present them is just amazing thank you
Thank you for being FIRST to comment on this article, my friend. I appreciate you, @corndogg42! Libertads are beautiful, and like the ASE and Britannia are always worthwhile to have in one's stack!
Libertads and eagles??? No competition
You are absolutely right:
American SIlver Eagles are unsurpassed, even now.Liebertads are great coins. They have a larger diameter tha eagles so you need more tubes.
WOW! What is the size? I thought 40mm was the biggest, and I really like the big coins. I have some HUGE Rounds, like 100mm but technically not "coins" ;)
Oooh, Muy Callienté!!!
The Libertads are cool and i really like that they make fractionals in Ag.
I love them too!!! But I like the 1981-1996 design of the Libertads also... so I am trying to fill a tube of random years of those!
I don’t have any of the older 80’s libertads...yet! But i just bought 2 x 1984’s from him 😁
I love the libertads. I only have 2X 1oz, 2015 coins. They carry too much of a premium over here to regularly pick them up.
I love the collection you're starting to get together. I like how they do the fractional pieces.
I picked up the BUs because in the final analysis, the appreciation of the BU coins is so much better. But I don't flip coins anyway, so my 2018 set is the proof version.

Love me some Libertads Saver.......hope that you are enjoying your weekend. I’m trying to catch up on Steemit. Put in a 17 hour day yesterday on the install. Just got home now, it’s finally finished. I’m wiped out bestie.
Awwww.... I knew that you were working on your install. Yaayy!!! You can put that completed project aside. You are ready for the next one! Yup, there is no rest for a stacker who stacks hard, LOL! For now.. you need to rest-up and recup, bestie!
These are fantastic with great information.
These sets are amazingly beautiful, as is the story of the lovers.
