Do we have libertad collectors here?

Hyperion · October 13, 2009 5:04AM

On a lark I picked up a Libertad Dansco album... is this a very difficult series to complete? (just the UNCs, Im thinking).

I was checking out the mintages and for a bullion coin I was suprised at how few were actually originally minted.

Should I even bother starting? I wasn't looking for a bank-breaker here!

<< Not me but I do believe someone here is and I do hope he chimes in because I too have been thinking on starting one. >>

Please wait until Im done my set. Thanks in advance.

I don't have my Krause handy, but I believe most catalog in the $25-$30 range, with a low of around $18 and a high of $45 to $50. I don't think there are any big ticket items in the group.

Hyperion · October 13, 2009 9:56AM

that's just the set im lookin for

ElKevvo · October 13, 2009 10:36AM

And it is a fun set...I have been working on one. I think the Libertad's have a nice looking design...really!

I have tried to get one per year since jump street but retro it sometimes is a bit tough for dates such as 97 and 98, but all are doable. I did not get mine slabbed but certainly you could. The multiple libertads and proof can REALLY be a challenge with some up to nearly 1k for some of these. There are fractionals as well down to 1/20th...

dizzlecc · October 13, 2009 12:17PM

It is a nice design. I know I have been tempted.

Rickc300 · October 13, 2009 1:47PM

Interesting idea and since there is a Dansco album available...

I will not look at mintages, I will not look at mintages and I will not EVER, EVER look at Libertads!

Sounds and looks good (affordable) to me...

Yeah, I peeked, interesting set! When do we start?

Great set!

Barndog · January 10, 2012 5:50AM

doing a set now. Check out some of the pricing on APMEX for specific years!

Hyperion · January 10, 2012 6:32AM

my modest collection fell victim to surging silver prices and a wandering eye

theboz11 · January 10, 2012 8:24AM

I have a set in a Dansco Album that I got off the BST.

OldEastside · January 11, 2012 3:31AM

IMHO the prettiest modern silver coin around.Have afew years in my collection.However I dont see many different years available on e bay.

fly2k · January 14, 2012 9:02AM

It's because there just aren't many available. The mintage is so low that they are really hard to find. I think they are the nicest looking silver coins ever. Check out the 1998 proof fractional mintages: 300. 300!!!! And how many of those has been melted?

Can't help on the mintages, but if any are toned and want to sell.......please pm me

Love' em

fly2k · January 18, 2012 5:56AM

Noticed that prices on eBay have been shooting up for these- as if they weren't hard enough to collect! The proofs have been showing up graded and they have been fetching lots of bids- a 2005 proof went for 450$ish. I was wondering when people would catch on...

steveben · January 20, 2012 8:24AM

is there any source of information on the internet about the mintage, dates, etc?

7Jaguars · January 20, 2012 8:41AM

Search a bit but the Don Bailey site has them by denim. Mintage, etc

Here you go Steve, but it hasn't been updated for 2010 and 2011 -

Silver Libertad Mintage Figures

Although I love the design I only have one, a 5oz 2008 proof with a mintage 0f 900.

Like the link I posted they only go to 2009.

Mockingjay · January 20, 2012 11:35PM

Libertads have that Old World charm that catches peoples attention.

I like them better than any other bullion design.

I picked up some 2011 2 oz Proofs. Beautiful coins. Curious to see the mintage.

fly2k · January 23, 2012 7:51AM

Prices continue to rise- a 1998 1/4 , 1/10, and 1/20 ounce silver proof auction just went for close to 800$ on eBay!

fly2k · January 26, 2012 3:55AM

Anybody have the 98 1 ounce proof?

Barndog · January 26, 2012 6:28AM

I don't do the Proof version, just the BU stuff. I've got three albums in various states of completion now

fly2k · January 28, 2012 8:01PM

GolfguyinTX · February 1, 2012 4:22AM

I Love Libertads
My most recent pickup was a 2010 proof 5 coin set for under 200.00 on Ebay. (Mintage 1000)

fly2k · February 1, 2012 4:33AM

There's an 83 proof on eBay now- but it's already past 650$

7Jaguars · February 1, 2012 8:04AM

Wow, I remember getting that whole 82/83 set for 300 USD about 7-8 yrs ago.

fly2k · February 4, 2012 7:16AM

Yeah - its impossible to find those now- you have an extra
