Would you post a photo please. I don't see mention of "Antiqued". You are talking about the Hamilton one, correct? Here is the photo from the page of the one I ordered.
Edit to add
Ah, I see it in the Limited Mintage one.

Got the antiqued ordered. Shows 13 remaining. I believe they antique as ordered from regular stock minted already.
3rd edit
So now I'll have one of each from them. The non-antiqued one already shipped which was ordered Thursday. Very fast. They should notice a surge of orders from us forum members.
It seems that the antique finish pieces are an add on, as I’ve noticed the number went down precisely by the total number of my order, which included regular and antique pieces.
I see the company listed these on eBay with 10 pieces available!
I wouldn't be too worried about that if you have patience. The page doesn't say "Limited Mintage". Many of the pieces say "Out of Stock" and not "Sold Out". I would not be surprised if the "Out of Stock" pieces were restocked laster, even years later. It's just good business, like re-releasing Disney movies in the theaters.
From a business perspective, the nice thing about these tributes is people like them as rounds so you can keep making them over and over again, Just wait long enough in between to not reduce demand..

Agree. They seem to include both brilliant and antiqued in the same mintage num er and don't break them out.

That's a good idea but may prevent collectors to earn some money by reselling.
I'm guessing the eBay inventory isn't dynamically linked to their backend systems.

It would be great to publish mintages for Limited Mintages's non-limited pieces, in addition to their limited pieces. It seems like the vast majority of their issues are not limited, which is fine, but it’s still good to know the mintages.

I agree. Seems like the few pieces they do limit are to either 100 or 500. They made a few to 10, which is really really scarce. I lucked out on one of those.

Are all their very limited pieces mules?
I'm not sure... either "errors", mules, or things like that I think.
Both of these were struck in silver, and bear the denomination of $5. (That was the value of one ounce of silver at the time). If I recall correctly, only 5 were struck in silver, and then the rest were struck in nickel, without the $5 denomination. You will note that the maker substituted his name for Dupre.

Great to see that David Mouser piece. I've wondered what they look like!
@coinsarefun it is - love these 2 oz strikes from intaglio; good heft
also really appreciated all the forum members sharing the original medals these are based off of; always good to see the originals, as I'm much less familiar w those
Comments
The different dies were used in combinations back then --
I will say a nice thing about the tributes is that should be more okay to store raw and handle with your bare hands.
Love the beaver!
Bet there are a few of us that will be waiting for these
Well we can't all have real ones. At $15 or so over melt these seem like a pretty good substitute.
Collector, occasional seller
How many of you who purchased the Libertas got the antiqued finish?
I got it on my 2 coins as that way I don't have to worry about milk spots developing and besides I really like the look of it.
had never even considered that; avoiding milk spots by going antiqued
I'm not a huge fan of antiqued silver, but did get the 2018 5 oz libertad antiqued finish; think that's the only antiqued coin I have
I picked up a few of the antiqued as well

I received my order from INTAGLIO Mint today. They are VERY nicely done.
Antiqued finish on the Libertas and Big Foots.
They both came out looking very nice! Super nice work they do at Limited Mintage

I am not familiar with the back story on the Libertas Medals?
Why are they so popular?
@GRANDAM here's the description blurb from intaglio's product page
https://limitedmintage.com/product/1805-c-c-a-u-s-medal-george-washington-2-troy-ounce-39mm/
They are the first US Lady Liberty among other things.
Good question. Easy answer. Because they are buck nasty beautiful!

I do not know why but when I click on Cardinal's link it takes me to a PCGS page with MY ShowCases listed?
Use this link instead:

OK, that link works,,,,,, you are really into the Libertas,,,,,, nice showcase.
Thanks all for the info.
New silver round alert...
These should look fantastic with the "antiqued" option.
