Reverse Proof Libertads

[mgregory83]

Hey Everyone!

I was looking around the bay and found a few 2017 2 and 5 oz reverse proof Libertads. The description says this is the first year they have been produced; however, I really can't find any information on them outside of that. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything on these? I've been collecting for about 2 years and would like to get one, but the prices are wild right now! So, I'm planning on sitting back in my chair and watching for a while.

Best wishes, Matt

They're an Apmex thing I believe

It's not the first year of reverse proof libertads, but maybe it's the first year they've done a 5oz

This year there are 2oz and 5oz reverse proofs. At this price Be very careful

$255-$285 is a little much for a 2oz coin no matter the mintage, and at this point it's a gamble at best...

Hi there,

This is my first post in this forum, but I am somewhat a Libertad specialist who is mainly active in the German community of silber.de. Living in Mexico I have direct access to the latest releases, Spanish-speaking ressources and some insider contacts willing to gossip and sell coins. While there are reverse proof coins since 2015 (especially the 3-coin set containing BU, proof and reverse proof coin for the 90th anniversary of Banco de Mexico that was only sold among bank employees), there have never been reverse proof coins in 2 oz nor 5 oz until 2017. Mintage for the 2017 reverse proofs is as follows:

1 oz: 1050 (lowest ever, 500 in Apmex sets, 300 individual ones sold to USA, 250 remained in Mexico)
2 oz: 2000
5 oz: 2000

As for the 2 oz and 5 oz nobody really knows where those coins are. You would think those would be readily available due to the "high" mintage figures, but they're extremely rare as of now. The 1 oz, in comparison, is available at every corner it feels (also thanks to Apmex). So this makes me think that the 2 oz and 5 oz are no Apmex order, but rather some "insider coin" that is mainly sold in Mexico. Living in Mexico, I came across 3 sets of these coins, but no more. I would also like to know where these coins are being held. Because there are just a very few ones available to the public.

Thanks for the info. This is the first I have heard in regards to mintage figures. It will be interesting to see if and how these make it to the mainstream market outside of Mexico.

Saw these on Thursday evening and couldn’t resist ordering the 5 oz.

I'm in the same boat as @Shinus73

I couldn't resist it. I bit the bullet and I got me both, 2oz and 5 oz

I made a vid on youtube for the 5oz reverse proof
