New project. Tubes in transit.

Also looking for a coin tube which will fit your loose coins well? Having to buy them often is quite expensive in low amounts due to transport costs and duties & taxes applied upon import. I currently have spare unused tubes for 2 sizes: * 41 mm (eg American Silver eagles) * 43 mm (eg Balance scale Onza) This one was super difficult to find. I'm looking for a tube of 38 mm which will nicely fit the old type Libertads. Let me know if you want to trade.

Decided to buy some mixed year old design Libertads to fill a tube.

Just found this page which contains mintage figures. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia13398.html

I'm sure the Libertad fans on the forum know the bullion predecessor of the Libertad. Not sure what's it called exactly, but I have mostly seen it referred to as either 'Onza', 'Libra' or 'Balanza' (Balance Scale). As you can see on the pictures, one side has a balance scale and the other a press. It's Sterling silver (92.5% silver), but contains 1 oz of silver. They have only been minted for 3 years. Excluding the 1949 version which is slightly different and was minted from between 1949 and 1978, but all showing the 1949 date. Unlike the Libertad series I can't seem to find any mintage details. Does anyone know a good resource to check? The early Libertad's had a mintage of approx 1M each year, so I'm expecting more or less the same, but would be good to get some confirmation. Would be also interesting to know whether there are significant mintage differences within those 3 years of mintage. First year 1978 seems to be most difficult to find.

And here is it's big brother.

Always on the lookout for these chuncky Andorra silver Umicore coinbars at decent prices. Picked this up recently and managed to order the 5 kg (awaiting delivery).

These Archangel Michael coins are pretty hard to come by. Still can't believe I was able to get the 1 oz gold 2018 (1500 minted) straight from the Ukrainian National Bank.

Apparently they have released a second year for these 10 oz silver Beskar bars (1 oz as well) I know some people here were looking for the first year, but now you have a second chance. This German site has a decent price for them. Haven't really looked for cheaper though. https://www.silbertresor.de/product_info.php?info=p10853_Niue---20-NZD-Star-Wars--Mandalorian-Beskar-Bar-2022---10-Oz-Silber.html

Maybe consider this.

I would guess Electric is going to fail. Charging time too long. Performance sucks, even more so during winter time. I'm betting hydrogen will take over which will allow a PM play.

Get them before they realize these are seriously under priced. https://www.mp-edelmetalle.de/artikel/silber/5687/silber-drache-1-oz-rectangular-(differenzbesteuert)-(2018)

Finally received the 10 oz Beskar bars.

I've seen other than the stock pictures show up on Ebay of the 10 oz version. Some mention pre sale still (delivery week of May 15th), while others don't mention pre sale.

The 1 oz are being shipped in the US. Haven't seen any 10 oz vids yet.
