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.

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.

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).

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.

Been trying to find this one online, no joy, can you please let me know where you found this lush looking bar.

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.

Has anyone seen the Monster Box showing up anywhere yet? We are still waiting for ours but really hoping next week.

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.

The only thing that's copyright is the Mandalorian symbol, right?

I'll just have a friend make me one

There are plenty who have done that, just google it. Even with the symbol.

For 795€ you could buy 2 10oz Queen's Beasts White Horse coins (309 each at GSBe) and have 177€ left over to buy another 5oz or so of bullion silver coins. Will those 25oz of silver be worth more than the 10oz Beskar coin-bar in a couple of years? Who knows?

It's clear this current pricing of the Beskar is speculating on the collectability of an official star wars licensed product with limited mintage of 1.000 pieces and only official PM version rather than silver content.

A Pokemon or Dragon Ball trading card also far exceeds the worth of the paper it's printed on. At least percentage wise the underlying value of silver in the Beskar bar is higher then the paper in the Pokemon/DBZ card. 😉

First batch was six for 469€, then raised to 11 for 499, and now 5 for 599. Münzdachs came out with 649 and EMK will sell it for 795. Thanks for having the EuropeanMint. 

Silbertrezor at €699 now.

Munzdachs last one at €679.

How much are people paying for their one ounce bars?

Aurinum had one of the best prices before they sold out. About €34,5/oz I believe.

I can't get my head round the fact people are paying these prices and there is no fancy packaging/displaybox.

Popular series, only licensed version of it and limited mintage of 1.000. Many will try to flip it short term. Others will keep it until season 3 is being released next year.

It seems like a good bet if you can get at 'reasonable' price. Time will tell what 'reasonable' is.

Silbertresor has 5 for 599€. They sold the first for 469/499€ yesterday.

Only one dealer, aurinum, in germany had a fair prizing with 358€. 

 

I stoped waiting for good offers in germany. Every interesting coin comes almost every time with premiums like for the 10 OZ Beskar. But they still sell, and sell, and sell....   

So Silvertrezor is selling them in batches of 3, increasing price whenever the sell out.

Muenzdachs still has 2 left for €649.

I just bought the last 3x 10 oz from Silbertrezor for €570 each. Best pricing I could find atm.

I bought 4 upon release in pre sale. I liked the design and they had the lowest premium of any 250 gram silver product. I usually stick to 1 kg coin bars due too the higher premiums on the lower weight products, but these were a good buy.

Already sold them for a nice profit.

Quality was fine, packaging could be a bit better. One side is hard plastic, but the other a bit softer. Mine had no issue, but I heard from other buyer, his was no longer air tite.

I did no verification. Saint Helena Mint is a known mint, they also did the spade guinea and queen's virtue coins.

I bought these from a local auction house and although a little worn they’re great examples of late Victoria Crowns.

Which, ironically, was the coin that planted the ‘seed’ of coin collecting and PM’s for me. Since then it’s been 20+ years since I’ve owned one of these.

How about the RM issue these as 1 oz BU silver? Maybe as 2022 version of the Valiant series, just to have some variation in the design.
