Hey Ben, I've watched a lot of your videos and finally decided to subscribe to your channel. Don't know why it took me so long. Your Libertads and maple leafs look amazing! Really love them silver coins!
Hi Ben, I have 3 1996 and 5 1997 SML's ranging in grade from MS69 to MS70, cherry picked over the years while volunteering in a LCS. Probably the reason for more graded 97's is their reputation for rarity. The vast majority of both years are sitting in investor collections, never seeing the light of day since issued. To be clear, my coins were graded by me, the official grader for the LCS. I have hundreds of SML's with not a milk spot among them, those being discarded long ago. The 97's are genuinely rare, the 96's are condition rare.
Hmm the more modern Onza obverse (eagle) doesn't have the different provinces of Mexico, just earlier versions of the national coat of arms. In chronological order from first to last. I think the earlier eagles were very cool though the later ones are tough to beat.
I've been Canadian 🪙 curious 🤔... once I have a satisfactory 🇺🇸 🪙 collection I plan to branch out to world 🪙's.. the early Newfoundland 🪙's are cool. The Hawaiian 🪙 and Philippines coinage from the San Francisco mint are the gateway into foreign coinage 😜 same could be said for the Spanish Reale, and early Dutch colonial 🪙's. Stay 🪙 🤪 everyone
Why put those coins on eBay and have to pay fees and make the bidders pay more for coin why not put them on your old Pueblo coin website save yourself money and the customer money I have never understood that thought process or even put them on Great collections they are way better period
