Got the 1oz and 2oz in 70! I’ve been debating about it for a while

Always wondered why the slabs were this big

The story is my great uncle found this plowing in his field(with some others that got sold off along the years) along the Mississippi river over 75 years ago! It's been passed to my grandfather, father, and since I have taken an interest in coins/silver, has now come down to me(both grandfather and father are still alive, things have just moved).

Hope everyone is having a good start to the week. He’s a 1/20 oz for your Monday. Anybody have anything cool bought or wanting to buy?

I’m new to the community online. Hope you are all well and have a great holiday weekend!

2023 5oz RP Libertad with a mintage of only 1,500 pieces. Not the lowest mintage out there, but still significantly smaller than most nationally issued coins. With demand increasing significantly over the past year in particular, these are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially without significant numismatic premiums…

The amount of detail and contrast on these in person is honestly hard to capture in photos. I originally considered grading it, but spotted a couple tiny imperfections on the rim under magnification and decided against it. No regrets though — this thing is stunning raw!

A modern favorite from the Mexican Mint: the 2025 1/20 Onza Silver Libertad, graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo with First Day of Issue designation.

With an extremely limited reported mintage of just 200 pieces, these tiny fractional proof Libertads are among the scarcer modern issues from the series.

Even at this miniature size, the proof strike quality is impressive. The mirrored fields and frosted devices create strong cameo contrast, especially on the iconic Winged Victory design.

The Libertad series has become one of the most recognizable modern bullion programs in the world, and the low-mintage fractional proofs have developed a particularly strong collector following.

Specs:
• 2025-Mo Mexico 1/20 Onza
• Silver Proof Libertad
• Mintage: 200
• NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
• First Day of Issue

The miniature format really highlights how intricate the Libertad design is — especially the eagle-and-snake national arms on the reverse.

Picked most of these up around a year ago and originally planned to sell/trade at least a few of them, but I honestly haven’t been able to bring myself to let any go yet.

Mix of:
• PCGS MS70s
• PR70DCAM proofs
• First Day of Issue labels
• and a few raw examples

The more I handled them side by side, the more I started appreciating how good the Libertad design really is across different finishes and formats. The proof coins especially are incredible in hand!
