Mate I couldn't help but notice your Libertad with the historic coats of arms of Mexico, the Mexican coins are a growing interest of mine; I assume it's difficult to collect in Scotland.

This was my very first coin I bought mate the one that, "gave me the bug" lol to be honest it could be a fake for all I know I bought it from e Bay, before I discovered this, wonderful place! Wouldn't buy from anywhere else now tbh! The prices, on here are unbeatable

I got my first Onza at an LCS recently, a very toned and roughly handled 1983. The non-reeded edge with writing is so awesome!

Welcome! Keep repping the Casa de Mondeda in Scotland and recruit your countrymen to the TSF!

They are nice coins hope to aquire more as my stack grows I like coins with a lot of detail, shows the mint takes a pride in their work!

Fifer, you won't get fakes if you buy from reputable dealers. SilverGoldBull is a reputable dealer. Lots of the large North American dealers carry the Silver Shield rounds. Check Golden State Mint, SD Bullion, and JM Bullion. I bought some of these rounds from either SDB or JMB earlier this year.

You'll also be fine if you buy from reputable eBay sellers. Just check their reviews. If anyone has ever reported receiving fakes from them, just move on. (And some of the eBay sellers are actually major dealers who treat eBay as a supplemental channel.)

Your challenge is the shipping charge to the UK. Silver Shield is an American project, and while they're widely available here, I don't know if any British dealers carry them. But any major online dealer in the US or elsewhere will provide authentic rounds.

I did have a look at their website I quite like their quirky style! But the mark up was mental by the time you took shipping and tax into account I might have a look on ebay again once I hit 50 ozs of rounds and bullion I'm at 27 just, now just, started stacking but find myself wanting pretty much every second coin I see on their Web page 🤣 but I realise this, isn't a good model for building wealth, so I'll continue with the bullion for now but I will be making a, purchase or two in the not too distant future! 

Thanks for the advice 

Kind regards Fifer
