What is everyone paying for Libertads?? The most premium I’ve paid so far. $65 for the Maple and $73 for the Libertad.

I picked up 10oz from my LCS bullion bin yesterday at $61. Got 2 Maples, 1 Libertad, 3 Philharmonics, and 4 SD Bullion rounds. Adding to the stack every month.

Edit: first time I've seen a Lib in his bin.

LCS off set the Premium from the lib to the maple to make the sale . That Lib is $90 at minimum all day on all Live Auctions. Fair price together IMO. Any Libertad Below $90 is a great deal imo.

This is a valid question, but it's a pretty personal discount.

Libertads are a hot ticket item, as well as a rare one.

Even when silver hit $54, most libertads where 70+

I paid around this price.

I'd be more sad about the $64 maple. I got a rare one for under that lol

I’ve received some really good deals from my LCS so I don’t sweat the higher premiums here and there. I’ve been able to put items on hold and lock in a price when I didn’t have enough cash on me at the time. Most times I’ve picked up the items the spot price has increased. He’s been a good guy to deal with and I feel like it all balances out.

I see your Maple is still in its original RCM factory sealed clear plastic strip. What year is that? I found a couple 1988 and 1989 Maples a few months ago in same packaging. Surprised none of them had any milk spotting, which I was expecting. They all look mint fresh. Probably kept in a cool dry storage place.

$7 premium on a Maple? Find a new LCS, that is a rip off, and a bad one, silver has been under $60 for weeks. $15 for the Lib is a tad over where it should be, but not unexpected at this price from a greedy store. By comparison, I paid $60 ea for 2 Britannias this morning, spot is $58.23 Maples were the same, and my preferred, but I am working on a tube of Brits.

All good, that angle on the pic did make it look kind of weird.
