I am going to order a five ounce coin, and I'm not sure which one to get. The Libertad and Noah's Ark are the only ones I can find. Is there any other five ounce coins besides these two?
America the Beautiful is a large potential series all fine silver 5 ouncers. Each year there are 5 coins issued starting with 2010. Search SS threads on these for more info.
The 5oz Noah's Ark along with the 5oz Perth Mint coins are the easiest to source in Australia. Try Bullion List.
I really like Mexican Libertad coin (I can't compare Noah's Ark coin to Libertad, because I don't have one) I would buy this coin. The 2011 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin Olympic National Park, Washington http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=16436&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=37238 Three reasons why this coin: 1.Best looking coin in this series. 2.This coin will be available until the end of December. 3.Limited to a total mintage of 35,000 coins according to US Mint Sales Report Nov 14th only 17,632 coins were sold. It is not advice, just my opinion and what I would buy.
A 5oz Libertad would definitely be the best looking bullion coin and also the most expensive. My choice if all the 5ozers were priced similarly.
I bought both - the libertads are usually uncapsulated and are prone to scratches etc. noah ark is also a solid looking coin. As said before - the 5oz Am beautiful are worth looking into alike - i like birds so Yungue national park - 1st in series is my choice. If you are unsure - Buy them all
I bought the Olympic and another ATB coin a couple of weeks ago. Sent them back. The case on the Olympic ATB was cracked on both sides. But more importantly, both coins had areas where it looked like they had rubbed against something. Because both coins had the same issues, I asked for a refund instead of an exchange. I have a Yellowstone coin that I bought from the mint in 2010 and it did not have these problems. No more ATB coins for me. APMEX return was very easy, except they sent an exchange instead of a refund. Per their instructions, I refused shipment and I am waiting on refund check. Very pleased with the way they handled things.
There are my friend: 1.Fiji Taku turtle 5 oz Its very nice coin 2. Liberad 3. Lunar series I and II Very collectable and very good designe coins. 4. American beautiful. Big and thin. 5. Noahs ark
