I think the premium on this coin will rise rapidly when the dealers empty out their stock. Its along time since the mintage was so low. I think this coin is one of the best bullion buys at the current time. Hurry and stack up before the premiums rice even moore.
It all depends on how many collectors think the same way you do, this day and age 6500 mintage is not that great , too many mints around the world pumping out coins by the millions. A few years ago I would have thought the same as you but times are changing . Low mintage now is under 1000.
Libertad's come as a bullion coin and a collector coin. For a mass produced bullion coin, 6,500 is low. But for a collector coin, 6,500 is not low in my opinion.

I agree. It is a very low mintage year compared to others. I loaded up on them. I think the premium will rise in them. Libertads always do. 6500 is the mintage of the 5oz libertads I think Expect 2015 to be way higher
Apmex is out of stock and have been for some time now. I also bought a couples of 5 oz and 2 oz. Also very low mintage.
Just looked it up. The mintage for the 2014 5oz is 6400. I'm tempted to grab some more of those now while the prices as still decent
One of my favorite bullion coins. Design is simply outstanding. It doesn't change much trough years, but f**k it, better than new one and worse.
I had 5 2013 5 oz libertads , 4 of which had tiny black dots on the surfaces with stains leeching out from these tiny dots.They came in the original 5 coin holder from the mint. I sold off 2 and traded two , still have one left, I agree these are very nice but these spots concern me for buying more at this time. I saw a picture of a 1997 1 oz libertad with the same spots so i suspect these are on other coins as well. Almost like small metallic dust particles in the finish and the stain slowing spreads out over time from these "spots" particles.
Buy what you like and within you limit. Totally understand your feeling. I still keep my poor bullion libertad 2 oz. The 4 lowest mintage of 2 oz are tone. I am not able to get a perfect one.
Video for graded 2014s, guess you can still get them for decent price! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcuGkKQk1ZM
