Proof Libertads Size And Proof Sizes In General

[ChrisSilver]

I just watches some YouTube videos of some Libertad proofs and it appears that the 2oz is a much nicer size?

The only non standard proof I have is a 1oz wedge tailed eagle, and as I have been out of the country I am yet to actual see this in person.

For those that collect the Libertad proofs and for those that collect proofs in general, do you think that a 2oz sized proof is a much nicer size than the 1oz variety?

I am thinking that if paying extra premium for a proof vs a bullion coin then maybe a 2oz sized coin would show off the extra qualities of a proof coin better, and is therefore better value for money.

A 2oz coin size doesn't fit into my collection as I am stacking 1oz, 10oz and a couple of kilo coins. But I could possibly start a new theme of 2oz proofs. Starting with a libertad.

What do you prefer, 1oz or 2oz proofs?

I think you know my answer already Chris, I have around 200  1oz proofs and they are beautiful, I have 35 2oz proofs and they are stunning,simples

Thanks Motorbikz, still undecided but after I have completed some other planned purchases I think I will purchase the 1oz proof liberated.

 

I am leaning more towards the 1oz because of consistency and also because a single 2oz coin would look lonely and I can't afford to start a whole collection of proofs right now as it would be a costly adventure.

That's the problem we all face you buy an odd coin then you have to start collecting them.I nearly sold my 2ozers about 18 months ago as I only had a couple and thought they didn't fit in with my collection,then I bought another couple of 2oz  proof kooks and that was it,I'm now hooked on 2oz proofs,kooks and lunars.

Yea that is what I am scared of, getting hooked on kook and lunar proofs. When I start with proofs I will try to avoid this by starting with some proofs that don't change design each year. That way I won't have the need to collect each each.

I am thinking a proof libertad, proof ASE and proof maple would be a nice start to the world of proofs.

Libertad collecting, hobby or obsession ? Some proof and bu sets 1/10 - 5oz (and this is not all of them)

[StackemHigh]

Libertad OCD i say.

 

Dave do you have any quality close up photos for us?

[ChrisSilver]

Dave, that is an amazing collection!

[Dave]

Not very good with camera, still learning about posting pics, put these up to show you all how collecting a couple of nice coins , turns into an obsession , but then again I would have spent my money on women and drink, and wasted the rest of it

[StackemHigh]

Good thing i haven't wasted as much as a thought!

[StackemHigh]

How much would a 2oz proof cost £.

 

Atkinsons have a 2oz 2013 for £52.00 but the pic doesn't match up but prob a BU as no mention of proof.

 

Would £52.00 be an ok price for the bu version?

 

I haven't looked into the libertad in a while!

Incredible amount of dedication, hard work and sacrifice shown there Dave.

Dave, that says shipping only within Germany.

How do you order from them?

Cheers

[Dave]

Hi, send Soeren an email. (Spelt his name wrong in first post) he speaks very good English ,no problem with communication , he accepts PayPal + 3.4% or bank transfer , and his postage rates are good , you can also order direct through site, ( with google translate as your Gide ) but better to contact direct

[Danny-boy]

Thanks for the quick reply Dave, I may well drop him an email this evening.

For those interested, Choice Bullion have a few more of the 2014 7 coin Proof sets available.  Should work out at £325 + VAT + Customs Clearance Charge.  £400 all in, there about anyway.

Thanks Dave, today I ordered the 2009 2oz proof.

Will be my first proof coin.

Now to find a suitable box for it!!!!

[Dave]

No problem Danny , he's a good dealer , very reliable. If you look at the pics I posted , the boxes with the libertad bu coins ,3 sets in each, seller on ebay does custom boxes , will hold 9 2ox coins in each box. About £16.00 each from memory ,

[Danny-boy]

I was just thinking about a box for the single coin Dave, any ideas bud?

Could you PM me details of the ebayer you mention please?

[Dave]

Alliexpress or tiny deals , Chinese sellers, you will get 2 or 3 boxes, nice wood effect , with free postage , for same price as ebay. 3 week approx wait for delivery

Last time I emailed Soeren he told me he was unable to sell coins at his listed price on his website because I was not a citizen of Germany. Has this changed?

Looks like it mate, my 2oz proof is on it's way. €9 insured tracked shipping for reference.

The 2009 proof looks like a really good price. The 2013 is ridiculously expensive.

Why is the 2009 2oz proof such good value or the 2013 so over priced?

I might have to buy one, though probably a 1oz and the price on that isn't so attractive in relation to the 2oz humm
