my latest arrivals to my Mexican collection Thanks House for exposing me to that Victory Medal, she sure is beautiful in person (2nd down on left) Source:
I'd love to get one of those but wouldn't know where to get one because I'm worried about it not being legit
my pleasure it is a Mexican Medal, struck by the Banco De Mexico 1 oz .999 pure silver proof it is the size 42 mm, so it is thinner than a typical 1 oz coin with the edge smooth, not reeded NOTE" scratches you see are on the plastic cover, it is proof quality and absolutely flawless
Some tunes to set the mood. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQKCiuSR2F8[/youtube] Well you said show it off :lol:
@ Torcan, It's a young man with boobs...yikes! Back sucks. On the other hand, Libertad's and Aztec Calendar's rock!!!! @ Ironwood, the 1 kilo 2013 Libertad proof-like is the creme-dela-creme of all Libertad's (in my view). Nice! .
Gorgeous, I have one of those also, is yours the proof? mine is the bullion Source: and this little one as well Source: and this little guy, can't forget it Source: and this set
Here's a bad boy kilo Libertad I just came across (I do not know this seller and it's not my coin): http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-MEXICO...80188?pt=US_Bullion_Coins&hash=item4862d6a7fc .
Pandamerica has it for $1390 http://www.pandaamerica.com/NEWS_mxs2011aztecKilo_04_11_11.asp?keyword=aztec&sortby=entrec
The Winged Victory? There isn't much info on it at all regarding year/mintage/history etc as it was a privately commissioned round ("aos de servicio" = "Years of service"). There were 3 others on eBay for $85ish when I got mine but they're all gone now. Interestingly it doesn't actually say silver/plata pura on it... Have emailed the Banco de Mexico for more info. Also enquired about commissioning a 1kg version Along with the PL Kilo Aztec, Kilo Lib, proof Libs of different sizes and a few fracs, also have some random ones I picked up from APMEX (they have a good few variations) including these;
Thanks for that house, guess I'll just have to keep one ear to the ground/fiber optic cable or whatever the modern equivalent is
I am not really a big fan of the Libertads but that 2011 and 2013 1KG Proofs are very beautiful coins, want.
