utilitus Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Will be visiting Lakeside soon, and would like to pick up some 1 oz silver Libertad coins as gifts for neighbors' kids. (Illustrated: https://www.jmbullion.com/mexican-silver-libertad/) Sometime in the distant past, think I read that one or more of the big banks (supposedly) had them to sell. If so, which one(s)? Also, few years ago I was rambling around what I think was the eastern end of centro Guadalajara and passed by what seemed to be maybe a block of small coin/precious metal exchanges with their characteristic safety glass windows. Anyone know the name of the street, and/or have any warnings to offer? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 If you go to mercadolibre.com and search for monedas de plata libertad de una onza you will get a lot of hits. Many are going for 500 pesos a piece which is around US $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 About 2-4 blocks south of Plaza de Armas on Maestranza and Ramon Corona there are dozens of Casa de Cambio and gold shops. Silver I do not know. I would second Mercadolibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 You’d probably get better price in US over the internet. The ones I found in a Mexico bank were not BU or this year’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Mexico is a huge silver producer. I have sent you a Private Message with where to purchase in Chapala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utilitus Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thanks again - seems the Mexican mint only produces a certain quantity annually, resulting in what would appear to be a 25% premium over, say, troy oz silver Maple Leafs. In the States, only AMPEX seems to currently have the 1 oz Libertad in stock, for under $23 BU, and for small lots there is an additional tax levied by California. But 'a bird in the hand', wot... (In case anybody hasn't seen one, the 50-peso 1.2 toz pure gold content coin is a beautiful beast, larded with alloy...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 SDBullion has the 2019 1oz at 21.92 but if you want a random year you can get it for 20.86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyhauler 4u Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Electrika/Banco Azteca sells libertads at most of their branches all over Mexico. The price is posted on their website and changes daily. Today's price is 420p per onza. https://www.bancoazteca.com.mx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
