One Libertad proof 1991, in its nice old box, and for comparison a modern design 2014 Libertad proof. Both 1 oz silver. 
The side by side allows you to compare the diameter - modern being bigger, and the reverse designs - which changed in 2000. 
Mintage 10,000 for 1991 and 4,700 (i think) for 2014. 

Australian proof 4 coin 1986 nugget set : in the original box & COA. Love these old unique designs , based on real Aussie gold finds ; only problem is that there are still two more years to collect - 1987 and 1988 - before the kangaroos took over ! 
Got them for a steal in US - worked out at equivalent of £775 / ounce. Not bad for collector proofs...almost convinced myself this is stacking

Finally completed the Royal Australian Mint's Fine Silver Frosted Uncirculated Kangaroo Series! 1993-2016

On eBay in the US - another 1 oz proof silver Libertad in its box + COA, this one from 1986 which was the second year of the proofs and the biggest ever mintage (30,000) so these are quite easy to come by. $43 which is about £29. When I think about the beauty of these old Mexican proofs and compare to the UK Lunar proof series at £82 a piece I know which I prefer in terms of value /$ , although I confess I am collecting both! The Libertad curse has taken hold ....

Couldn't resist popping in to see what they had on (kinda) my way home.
 
1927 South African sov AU
1981 1/4 onza Mexican Libertad UNC
1902 Australian sov VF Perth Mint
 
all for 38,000 yen each (sovs and 1/4 onza) which at today's rate is 206 quid each.
and the dealer threw in a 1979 Mexican onza for free. UNC (and based on the lower position of the word "una" appears to be a type IV (so that is all good as it has a slightly lower mintage - no biggie but fun to notice)
 
That's me done for the month....now to settle in for Christmas and focus in on the really important things in life....:)

Yep. Just checked up on them when I got home and it appears so. Bought from the only registered  grading dealers here so VF is VF for sure. They are in the JNDA (Japan Numismatic Dealers Association)
 
Here they are in the plastic
 

Havn't bought any PM's for a while, but my 2000 nectar points bonus turned up. Along with my 2000 points I already had sitting there, I thought it would be time to find some cheap gold.   Found a German dealer I had used before, selling an Austrian 1915 1 ducat gold coin for 130.50 euros delivered.   Used my nectar points , used my credit card that gives free foreign transactions , used TopCashback to get another 1.05% off   Leaving me with the equivalent of 3.44g of gold for the tidy price of around £74, or about 7% UNDER spot     Well that's my Xmas pressie to me sorted
